I'm having a problem creating the Hello World example.


I installed the windows OpenSource version of QT 4.2.1. Having done so I could not get (Build Debug Libraries). On one of the QT forums someone suggested that if I installed mingw32-make-3.80.0-3 seperately that that would solve the problem. It did. I was able to build the debug libraries. (I mention this so that you will know how I got to where I am)

Assuming the install was working correctly I started my introduction to QT by working with the examples. I typed in the infamous 'Hello World' examle, changed to the helloWorld directory, and tried to compile it.

/* hello.pro my version using excerpts from the docs */

qmake -win32 -makefile -hello.pro
qmake

qmake generates a Makefile.Debug and a Makefile.Release file but no executable.

Then I tried:

qmake -project
qmake -win32 -makefile -helloWorld.pro /*QT's version of the helloWorld.pro file*/
qmake

Outcome was the same

I noticed some examples here that also used make so I tried 'make'. I received the following error.

C:\QT\projects\helloWorld>make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug

Does anyone have any idea what I need to do here? After four days of configuring, searching docs and forums I'm about ready to delete QT and write it off as a bad experience.
