How to solve MAKEFILE_GENERATOR variable not set as a result of parsing: ... error ?

[jsulm]

@Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury This is not the same as "QMainWindow not found". Something is wrong with your .pro file or Kit (you still not checked it as I suggested). Is it possible to upload your project to somewhere and post link here, so I can download it and check?

@jsulm Wait for me sir. I am sending screenshots and details.

[Hasibul Hasan Chowdhury]

@Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury I can not upload the screenshots in this forum. I am adding whole code for you.

I have checked kit and I found

The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use

any feature of Qt which as been marked as deprecated (the exact warnings

depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the

deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.

DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs.

In order to do so, uncomment the following line.

You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.

#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000 # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

@Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Does your .pro file really contain comments without # character at the beginning? It should be like this:

TARGET = DatabaseTutorial
TEMPLATE = app
#The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use

Regarding yellow warnings: keep mouse cursor over the Kit - you will see then what the problem is.

[Hasibul Hasan Chowdhury]

@jsulm yes

[jsulm]

@Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Remove all the comments or comment them out

Run qmake again and build.

@Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Please upload the pro file to somewhere and post a link here. Then I can check.
And please check what is wrong with your "Desktop Qt 5.8.0 MinGW 32bit" Kit.
