[shashi prasad]

Hi

CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Users/shashi.p/Desktop/QTCODE/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.2" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

@shashi-prasad To build Qt you first need to configure it. To do so you need to call the "configure" script.
"i checked CMakeLists.txt but this file exist" - where exactly?

@jsulm said in compilation issue with Qt src code of 5.6.2 using cmake in window:

CMakeLists.txt

so many CMakeLists.txt is there in this code, which one i should check. please suggest me.

@shashi-prasad I never used CMake to build Qt. Why don't you do in the way it is supposed to be built?

configure
make
make install
