Hello,

Below is my error. Could anyone give some hint how to overcome this? Thank you.

Hi
Often just path problems.

https://forum.qt.io/topic/56437/how-to-fix-error-while-building-deploying-project

You should check your kits.

Im sorry I cant show how it shall look but I use only mingw on windows.

Hello mrjj.
Many thanks for your quick reply.
I tried Qt5.7 and Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0(x86_amd64) as in the example of your second link.
I'm still getting a similar error:

Hi
Have you tried to see if VS is happy?
Open the Vs developer command prompt and
see if
link.EXE
and
nmake.exe
can be found and respond. ( it lists options)

Also,
fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'
seems to be a mixup with 32 / 64 bit.

Did you install Qt 64bit for VS2013 ?

Also, you really need/want to use visual studio?
Qt comes with mingw compiler which works flawlessly and have zero setup.
However, for using external libs (non Qt) , VS is often better supported than mingw.

jmarcos

mrjj,

I really appreciate your help.
The link.exe have executed and showed me the parameters list.
The nmake.exe launchs the executable from Microsoft but it gives an error:
NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE not found and no target specified Stop.

In Build&Run -> Qt versions Qt 64bit for VS2013 and VS2015 are auto-detected in these locations:
C:\Qt\5.7\msvc2013_64\bin\qmake.exe
C:\Qt\5.7\msvc2015_64\bin\qmake.exe

In my project there some external libraries indeed.
Thank you very much for your time.

jmarcos

Of course there is no makefile there... sorry

mrjj

@jmarcos no no its fine
Just checking that linker and make could be found.
nmake has to say "no file" thing.

I never saw it say
"The kit Qt 5.7 MSVC2013_64bit MV C++ Comppiler 12.0 (x86_amd64) has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem."

so googling to see for any hints.

jmarcos

@mrjj, just to clarify: "Qt 5.7 MSVC2013_64bit MV C++ Comppiler 12.0 (x86_amd64) " was the name I gave to kit selecting MSCV2013_64bit and MV C++ compiler 12.0...

mrjj

Oh, i forgot to ask.
If you create a default GUI project in Creator and try to build, it still says this?
Just to rule out its not make/project file related as such. (for the ant2 project)

jmarcos

Yes, I just tried a Qt quick application and it was built fine and run as well.

@jmarcos The previous was for the TestApp not ANTS2 Project!

mrjj

Hi
a C++ Qt quick application ?
Could you try a
"Qt widget application" default project?

If that also works, then it must be that projects make file that is not ok?

jmarcos

The default "Qt widget application" was successfully built.

mrjj

@jmarcos
Ok, then the toolchain does work.
It must be the project then ?
Did you make the make file yourself or what is its origin?

jmarcos

The make file is made by the qmake.

This is the header of the automatic created file:

#############################################################################
# Makefile for building: ants2
# Generated by qmake (3.0) (Qt 5.7.0)
# Project:  ..\ANTS2\ants2.pro
# Template: app
# Command: C:\Qt\5.7\msvc2015_64\bin\qmake.exe -spec win32-msvc2015 -o Makefile ..\ANTS2\ants2.pro
#############################################################################

mrjj

hmm
so here it uses 2015 compiler

I wonder if the default sample used vs2013 ?

Did you install BOTH Qt 2015 and Qt 2013 binary packets?

Also did u try with
-spec win32-msvc2013

?

jmarcos

Yes, both are installed and also tried win32-msvc2013.
mrjj, many thanks for your help. Let me discuss this problem tomorrow with the code developer. Today I updated Qt to Qt5.7and after that, when I tried to compile the Project I want to build and run (to use the application - a simulation software), I got the building error I reported here in the Forum. The Project was built before for Qt5.4 without problems.

mrjj

@jmarcos
Good plan.
Its this public (the simulation software) ?
I mean to try the project.

mrjj

@jmarcos

Hi
Tomorrow could you
Show compiler, debugger and kit screens from creator (with the set options)
Then grab the qmake line from the Creator's output pane and show here too ?
