    5.4.1 is a very old version of qt and my project use it for a long time.Now i want to update my project to version of VS2017 , but qt5.4.1 cannot compile with VS2017.
    I modified three file: "configureapp.cpp", "qmake.conf", Makefile.win32" , and configure.exe can recognize "msvc-2017", but it still print error:
    execute: File or path is not found (make)

      @mic19 Please don't create multiple posts for the same problem.

      The original topic: https://forum.qt.io/topic/98568/compile-qt-5-4-1-with-vs2017-got-error/11

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          @mic19 said in How to compile Qt5.4.1 with VS2017?:

          execute: File or path is not found (make)

          You should at least post the whole error, so we can see which file is not found.
          And is there a reason why you need to switch to newer VS but keep old Qt.
          Why not stay with working VS version?

            @jsulm if qt5.4.1 can be compiled with VS2017 successful, why should i update qt version. I dont need qt's new feature.At the same time, if i update qt version, it may cause problem.So i want to stay at 5.4.1.

              @mic19 But why you need VS2017? Is there a real reason to excuse additional work to build Qt? Else: never touch a running system :-)
              Also think about this: Qt 5.4 was not tested with VS2017 because it did not exist when Qt 5.4 was released.
