Qmake project mode "problem"

ceora

Hi all, recently i've discovered that qmake can auto generate a Qt project file parsing a directory. i'e searched on web but didn't find any tutorial, so some one can explain me how to do that?? i would like to import a project and let qmake build the project for me.

thanks in advance!

Just run qmake help...

You need to run this in your project directory:
@
qmake -project
@

hi thanks for th e ansewer! but can you give a more detailed explanation?? because i've tried to run qmake by passing -project on command line but it said that the command is unknown....

sierdzio

You need to have qmake in PATH. If you want instructions, you need to tell me what OS are you on and how have you installed Qt.

i've windows 7 and qt is installed in C:\

and this is the qmake path C:\Qt\4.8.4\qmake

Why oh why are pople using Windows? It's a mystery to me.

Ok, on with the show: either add "C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin\qmake" to PATH in Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environmental Variables (this will make this change globally).

On in cmd (this will only be valid for a single session. When you close cmd.exe, the change is gone):
@
export PATH=C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin\qmake;%PATH%
qmake -project
@

ceora

i've to write in cmd the two line you write??
i've tried to write the first but it sais that the export command is unkown...

ceora

another question, how i pass the directory to process???

sierdzio

Sorry, I'm too unix-centic.
@
set PATH=C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin\qmake;%PATH%
qmake -project
@

For your second question - please open a new thread for this.
