    I am moving to a new development computer and I am trying to compile QT. Here's what I have tried so far:

    Steps so far:

    Download .zip of source directly form qt-project.org
    Extract Zip in a file on my hard drive
    Open Visual Studio Command Prompt 2010
    cd to the directory containing QT source
    execute "configure.exe -opensource -release"

    I receive the following error from the steps above:

    Creating qmake...

    Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 10.00.30319.01
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    Creating makefiles in src...
    Generating Visual Studio project files...
    execute: File or path is not found (S:\Programming\C++\Qt\Qt\bin\qmake)
    Qmake failed, return code -1

    Generating Makefiles...
    execute: File or path is not found (S:\Programming\C++\Qt\Qt\bin\qmake)
    Qmake failed, return code -1

    Does anyone have an idea on why "configure.exe" is doing this?

      @
      set QTDIR=
      set PATH=CD/bin;PATH
      configure.exe -opensource -release
      @

      Maybe that will help (Just be sure to wrap CD and PATH in '%'. I cannot do this in the post). We are talking about Qt 4.8.3 here, aren't we?

        I tried on a different machine and it worked but I got the same error on my main development machine. And yes this is 4.8.3--
