Where do I get MinGW 3.2 ?

[Shwetha]

I am using MinGW 3.0.0.1, Qt 4.2 and VS 2005.

Is MinGW required?

While installing Qt, I get a warning that it needs MinGW 3.2 which I am not finding it on the internet. I continue with the installation.


My simple hello world program doesn’t compile.

I have set the path, added lib, exe and includes path in the VS environment.

Could you please help me with this issue. I am using the open source version of Qt.

Thanks for all in advance

There is MinGW bundled with Qt4, but you can get it from this site: http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

[Shwetha]

yes, I download MinGW-3.0.0-1.exe from the same website.

But now finding 3.2 for Windows there.

AFAIR Qt installer wants this: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32a...ar.gz?download

[Shwetha]

I downloaded 3.2 and it give an warning while installing Qt.

But, when compiling my simple app.

I get a link error which states

c:\mingw\include\stddef.h(6)

fatal error:C 1021:invalid preprocessor command 'include_next'

I have set the path, linker options in VC 2005

Please help

Thansk in advance

I have set the path, linker options in VC 2005

Which compiler do you use?

[Shwetha]

Visual C++ 2005

[jacek]

Visual C++ 2005

Qt Open Source edition doesn't support Visual C++ --- only MinGW.

[Shwetha]

I am still unsuccessful. could you please tell me if I am following the right steps

1. Set the PATH
2. Run 'configure ' from \Qt4.1.2

3. mingw32-make which fails with error messages related to C:\Qt\4.1.2\src\gui
( assuming this step will not effect )

4. go to tutorial directrory and type qmake -project -main.cpp

5. qmake which will generate the exe in release folder

Please let me kwow where I am going wrong.


Thanks

What error do you get exactly?

You can find all MinGW releases here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/
but better try the version that is bundled with Qt.

[Shwetha]

yes, I installed

MinGW-3.2.0-rc-1.exe
MinGW-3.2.0-rc-2.exe
MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3.exe

from the website you mentioned.

The error I get is

[tmp\obj\debug_shared\qwindowsxpstyle.o] Error 1
C:\qt\4.1.2\src\gui
Cannot find QtGuid4

thansk again for responding so quickly

[jacek]

Is that the first error you get?

[Shwetha]

No, while I run my step 3, I get a bunch of errors.

But it aborts and display this message at the end

mingw32-make: ***[tmp\obj\debug_shared\qwindowsxpstyle.o] Error 1
leaving directory C:\Qt\4.1.2\src\gui

***[ debug_all]Error 2 Leaving directory c:\Qt\4.1.2\src\gui
*** [ sub_gui_make_default_ordered] Error 2
Leaving directory C:\Qt\4.1.2\src

***[sub-src-make-default ordered] Error 2

[jacek]

And what was the first error message?

[Shwetha]

styles\qwindowsxpstyle.cpp 2469: error 'ABS_UPPRESSED'
undeclared<first use this function>

[jacek]

Have you replaced the include and lib directories from MinGW installation with contents of w32api-3.2.tar.gz (or later)?

[Shwetha]

No, Should I do it ?

[jacek]

No, Should I do it ?

Yes, that's what the installer was complaining about.

[Shwetha]

No. It didnt help.

Can you point me to the downloads of QT, mingw ( even an older version is fine)

where they are all known to work ?
