How to build the hello world apps in QT 4.7.4 with command line

deepak_smcet

hello all,

i installed the QT 4.7.4 version on my windows xp machine. and i am trying out the hello world sample.
the application works fine with the QTcreator. but i want to compile and link with command line.
i have a tutorial that goes like this to make exe on windows

go to the source directory.

to create a platform-independent project file:

qmake -project

then to create a platform-specific makefile from the project file.

qmake hello.pro

now to build the program type

make

the above command does not work. i mean it does not recognize it as internal or external command

any clue??

If you using msvc try nmake command (necessarily from Visual Studio Command Prompt)
If you using mingw try mingw32-make command (You should be sure, that you have path to mingw in your PATH variable)

dangelog

You probably want mingw32-make if using mingw, or nmake if using MSVC.

thanks you all.

i got it working. i slightly modified my "qtenv2.bat" bat file in PATHTOQT to include visual studio things
"call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86"
