a dumb question
hi
first time using QT so if the question is stupid, please bear with me.
For windows manual, on the 'hello world' example, it says to do 'qmake -project', 'qmake hello.pro' and then run 'make' to build the program. But in windows there is no 'make' . Am I missing something? thanks
RE: a dumb question
You can either use GNU make or Visual Studio nmake (or other) ... depending upon which version of Qt you have.
I'm using MinGW (open source) version of Qt ... so I use the MinGW make.
I am wondering what QT says about this? It seems they didn't mention anything about using a 3rd party 'make'.
In the manual, they only say "QT4 also works in Windows". Some marketing gimmick I guess.
thanks for the reply
Qt is an application framework. To build your own applications, you'll have to employ some sort of compiler. This is normal. Qt doesn't claim to be an IDE.
