    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    The -prefix option is used when you call make install (or mingw32-make in your case). So before going further to that to have your custom version installed properly. Then with Qt Creator, add this new version, make a Kit for it and then you can use it to build your application.

    If you are starting your application outside Qt Creator, you have to first follow the deployment procedure. The most simple thing to do is to use windeployqt.

      @UnLuckyGuy If there is no qmake.exe then your build failed or you did not execute "make install"

        @jsulm I installed version 5.2, but in src, there is no Makefile, configure etc, there are just folder, and if i run the command prompt, then i do cd and configure, it says "Error, unknown command" or something like that.
        How to generate those files? I n version 5.3.2 it's all there, but here not. I prefer 5.2, so now i must fix this issue too.

          @UnLuckyGuy What exactly did you install? To build Qt you need its source code.
          You don't generate configure, it is already there.

            @jsulm
            In version 5.3.2, there are config files, and some more, in 5.20 there are folders only :O

            In 5.3.2 if i just do:

            cd: path, and use this commands configure -platform win32-g++ -release -shared
            It's run, in 5.20 is give's me the error "unknown commands" or incorrect.
            I am downloading 5.2.1, i don't like that 5.3.2, i build my program, and my tool has bad performance (The project has been created in 5.20).

            So, i should use prefix command, in mingw32-make?

            For example : mingw32-make -prefix c:/softwares/qt...etc ?

              Where did you download the 5.2 sources from ?

              Just in case, you do realise that the current supported version is 5.10 with the LTS being 5.9 ? You are trying to use outdated versions of Qt which might not be the best bet in the long run.

                @SGaist Men, it was something like 3-5 years ago... I don't know, other versions don't work with OpenGL in my case, so i use that. (It's not a openGl program, but i like this version). I remember, i donwnload it from here probably.

                Sources are ther,in installation i check "sources", and it install it.
                I am installing 5.2.1, will see, if they are there.

                    You can grab the sources from here.

                    Why 5.6 ? Do you have a technical limitation that forbids the use of a current version ? As wrote before, if you need LTS the current is 5.9.

                        You don't give any information about what option you are using so it's close to impossible to give you some hints.

                        By the way, why are you building Qt ?

                          @SGaist Men, listen, the only thing i do, is run the command prompt, set the path to the source, add:

                          configure -platform win32-g++ -release -shared

                          Then in mingw32-make if i try to use, that rusty junk doesn't work, i mean prefix:

                          -prefix C:/QT_Compiled/ABC/

                          And that's it, i do nothing else. When it's compiling, it ask me for opengl, but i can skip it, is not an error, but something like warning i think. I dont want ther OpenGL, at least now.

                          "By the way, why are you building Qt ?"

                          I wanna compile my tool, and send to my friend, with DLL's, not the source code.

                            For that you do not have to compile Qt by yourself. Simply install precompiled Qt for your compiler and use it.

                              Not related to your problem, but this forum has the neat option where you can make a screen shot and directly paste it in your post using CTRL-V (since you are working on Windows it seems). Or drag&Drop your image file directly into your post. That saves you the trouble of having to upload your image to some external site like mediafire first.

                                    Here is direct link to lastest version
                                    https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.10/5.10.1/
                                    you can go back to get older if you really need.
                                    Make sure to select the mingw version as you not to have VS installed.

                                      @mrjj But it's gonna compile? I need any working version to compile, and have the access to compile my tool. Even if it's 5.9, i just need it for compilation process.

                                        But its precompiled ? ready to run.
                                        As soon as its installed , its ready to compile Qt apps.
                                        You do not need to build it manually.

                                          @mrjj Hopeful it's gonna work.
                                          Will see, any way if someone know's how to fix that issue (for future), i would like to know, because even if now it helps me a lot, in future i should be able to compile it by myself.
