compiling hello world after fresh install fails

[kvesi]

Hi,

I installed Qt to my Win XP machide (qt-win-opensource-4.4.2-mingw.exe). Mingw was installed by the Qt installer.

After installation I enter command prompt by selecting "Qt 4.4.2 command prompt" from the start menu. This sets path and other environment stuff correctly.

Next I go to folder C:\Qt\4.4.2\examples\tutorials\tutorial\t1 and type

qmake -project
qmake
make

make fails. I get the following:

C:\Qt\4.4.2\examples\tutorials\tutorial\t1>make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug all
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `C:/Qt/4.4.2/examples/tutorials/tutorial/t1'

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Qt/4.4.2/examples/tutorials/tutorial/t1'
mingw32-make: *** [debug-all] Error 2

Error is not displayed if I type "g++ -c -g -frtti -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall -DUNICODE -DQT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT -DQT_DLL -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_

Any ideas?

To me it seems that make is not working on correct folder ("g++: main.cpp: No such file or directory") despite this text is on the screen: "mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `C:/Qt/4.4.2/examples/tutorials/tutorial/t1'"

main.cpp is in the folder where I type make.

My monologue continues

nmake works, but mingw32-make does not.

Solved, uh.

I ran make with debug parameter and found out that it creates temporary batch.

"Creating temporary batch file C:\....Temp\make55562.bat"

I had option in the windows registry that always set the folder as c:\work when batch file was run. This cause make file to always work on a wrong directory.

Removing this option from registry solved this case.
