Cannot build a C++ project

Question

I am buidling a C++ project that I got from previous developer. When I try to compile it, I am getting this eror (I am using VS2012 Professional):

 \bin\rcc.exe -name resources resources.qrc -o debug\qrc_resources.cpp
 1>  Moc'ing aboutdialog.h...
 1>  The system cannot find the path specified.
 1>  Moc'ing action.h...
 1>  UIC aboutdialog.ui
 1>  The system cannot find the path specified.
 1>  UIC mainwindow.ui
 1>  The system cannot find the path specified.
 1>  RCC resources.qrc
 1>  The system cannot find the path specified.
 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(172,5): error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 3.
 1>Done executing task "CustomBuild" -- FAILED.
 1>Done building target "CustomBuild" in project "sv.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

The project is using Custom Build Steps that depend on the Qt library and its tools. You need to at least download and install Qt (most likely version 4.8, Qt 5 was just released), and maybe also the Qt add-on that is available for Visual C++.
