I downloaded qt-win-opensource-4.3.3-mingw.exe and ran it. Installation seemed to go okay - I received no error messages, and I can open Qt Designer and Qt Assistant, etc. But when I go to the tutorial and try to run the "hello world!" example, I run into problems. I do qmake -project and qmake, and that seems to work. But when I type make, I get the following:

All these "undefined references" makes me think maybe installation didn't go as smoothly as I thought. What am I doing wrong?

undefined references - it rather says that linker cannot find the .lib files. Please check your path and make sure that linker will find your qt lib files.

Or simply run qtvars.bat that should help

I ran qtvars.bat and it didn't seem to help. I then manually added the changes to my path that qtvars.bat was supposed to make, and that didn't help. I'm still stymied.

Ok, you have QT in oss version, did you install mingw? And do U use it do compile and link your application?

During installation, it downloaded and installed mingw. As far as using that to compile and link my application, I confess at this point I am just following the recipe given in the tutorial: save the source file in its own directory, go to that directory and run qmake -project, then qmake, then make.

Could you paste yours set and path variables?

Just in case:
in command line invoke

Is that any help?

I had kind of similiar problem with the path. I mean mingw/qt seems to have problem with spaces in path so I did move all mingw/qt declaration in front of my path.

Sth like this:

PATH=c:\qt\x.x.x\bin;c:\mingw\bin;any_other_path_without_spaces;any other with spaces

Maybe this will help :?

That did it! I read some place about spaces in path, but in my ignorance I thought it meant the actual path to Qt, like I couldn't have it be C:\Qt Stuff\4.3.3\ But just changing the path variable around did it. Thanks so much!
