    I have a very basic application that just loads a qml file. Here is my error, any thoughts:

      I get this output error in Ubuntu. Any ideas?

        Probably the .pro file mentions non-existing files?

          Contents of my .pro file:

          @include(../src.inc)
          QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG += -fprofile-arcs
          -ftest-coverage
          QT += declarative
          TARGET = harvest
          SOURCES += main.cpp
          harvest.cpp
          HEADERS += harvest.h
          CONFIG += no_fixpath
          RESOURCES = resources.qrc

          harvest.path = /usr/bin/harvest
          harvest.files = ../../build/dist/harvest
          INSTALLS += harvest@

          Here is the directory listing for the project folder:

          build build.inc harvest.pro harvest.pro.user src

            Usually the output line

            @make[1]: *** No rule to make target `main.cpp',...@

            is an indicator that you don't have a main.cpp file or it is not writeable or not in the directory.

            Maybe you could provide a little bit more information on your project?

              What sort of information would be helpful?

                As I keep looking it seems to have something to do with a main.o file which doesn't exist in my folder structure. Where can I get this?

                  Well as browsing through the forum I suppose this is the same topic as "here?":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/3279/

                  I assume it's better to talk about this topic there because missing declarations in the .pro file would have been my next guess and it looks like this is not a platform dependant issue!

                    The paths to your main.cpp and harvest.cpp and other SOURCES and HEADERS are wrong. They must be either

                    • absolute path (not recommended)
                    • or relative to the directory where your .pro file is in

                    To achieve the latter, go to a shell, enter the directory where your .pro file lives and list the source file on the command line like this:

                    @
                    ls -l src/main.cpp
                    @

                    If you see a result, the argument to ls is what must go into your .pro file.

                    Also, qmake should have printed a warning on the console:

                    @
                    $ qmake
                    WARNING: Failure to find: main.cpp
                    WARNING: Failure to find: harvest.cpp
                    WARNING: Failure to find: harvest.h
                    @

                      The .o files are generated by your compiler.

                      Are your source files stored in the same directory as your .pro-file? If not, this might be kind of problem, because your project file declares it's sources to be

                      @SOURCES += main.cpp
                      harvest.cpp@

                      This usually means that these files are in the same folder as the .pro-file.

                        I am using both OS X and Ubuntu and having issues on each. I tried both areas since with a different os in each because I wasn't for sure where the best location was for it.

                          They are not. I will do some experimenting.

                            I've merge the two threads since they are about the same problem and moved to the Tools forum, because it's more a qmake question.

                              Thats fine. Still having some issues... and still poking around.

                                An easy solution for the SOURECS definition is to declare it as:
                                (notice that I assume that your sources and headers are located in src)

                                @
                                SOURCES += src/main.cpp
                                src/harvest.cpp
                                INCLUDEPATH += src/
                                @

                                With INCLUDEPATH qmake will configure make to find all header files within the src folder because this will also cause some trouble if they are not found.

                                I hope this helps you a little bit.

                                  On my Mac the mkspec is per default macx-xcode. To compile the project in a console use qmake -spec macx-g++ && make. This works for me.

                                      My problem had to do with a shadow build and installing unit test files.
