Trying to run qmake from command line on windows to build my application.

John Owens

Surprisingly I have this working on linux but I can't seem to get it to work on windows.

When I try.

cd build
C:\Qt\5.9.1\msvc2015_64\bin\qmake.exe  -makefile -spec win32-msvc ../project/project.pro
make

I get this error

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [Makefile:44: sub-framework-make_first] Error 1

When I use -spec win32-g++

I get linking errors although I think this is because I have built my libraries using visual studio.

Ideally I would like to get the visual studio version working i.e. -spec win32-msvc

Can anyone help?

@John-Owens Is the build directory empty when you call qmake?
Also with MSVC you should call nmake not make.

Also with MSVC you should call nmake not make.

or jom, if you don't want to wait that long.

Hi,

What command line are you using for that ?

@jsulm When I call nmake I now get missing headers however I think I can continue from here.

Thanks.
