Error in mingw32 -make command [SOLVED]

[bilal]

I am trying to make a project in windows. I have installed Qt with mingw

firstly I enter qmake -project
then qmake (project pro file)
after that when i enter mingw32-make

it shows errors which are

undefined reference to qmain( int , char **)
and the second one is recipe for target 'release' failes ( which i presume is due to the first error )

kindly help me in this regard

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What does your project contain ?

[bilal]

My project is a simple GUI made in the form section, mainwindow.ui. i have also included the header and cpp file of customplot.

Can you show your pro file ?

By the way, since you installed the Qt mingw package, why don't you use QtCreator ? Specially on windows, it simplifies life a lot

Thank you brother :). I just made run qmake and then wrote make in the DOS window. After that, i put in around 10 -12 missing DLLs and now the executable file is working. However, i dont know if i have to compile it again in another OS or would it run perfectly in other OS like linux...?

No it won't, you have to compile it for the other platforms too. For linux a virtual machine is sufficient, for OS X you need a Mac computer

For deployment, have a look at the various guides in the documentation, they provide good informations on how to do it.
