Ok, you guys have been very helpful. This is my first go at compiling anything in Windows and I'm familiar with the OS so I don't know even the basics. Be patient, I'm learning fast(i think).

I appended the PATH to reflect the path to nmake.exe that solved that error. I then got the error "g++ not recognized and internal or external command". I did the same, appended PATH to reflect the path to g++.exe. It ran like it was going to compile but then errored out with MS error report pop-up. This said "ld.exe encountered a problem and needs to close" Any ideas??? I've searched, and can't find anything on this one. Thanks for the help.
Oh, I am installing Qt on my other box to see if I can get this to work there. I'm thinking I've got a corrupt file somewhere.

It compiled just fine on my other box. So if you have any ideas about what might be wrong with the ld.exe on this other box it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have commercial or Open Source edition? The latter (officially) works only with MinGW, so you can't use it with M$ toolchain.

I have the open source edition. I haven't heard of the M$ toolchain but I will go check it out. I did get my application working though. I reinstalled Qt on my laptop.(the one I was having problems with) It compiled fine but I still can't run the app. I get an error that says "entry point in QtCore4.dll could not be found". I replaced that dll with the one from my other box where the app is working fine but I still get the same error. I'm not sure whats going on there but I have a few more things to try. I think I have learned a great deal from you guys so thanks again for everyones help.
