qt qmake -tp vc to create visual studio project files

Question

I am using QT Creater 1.0.0. and QT 4.5.0 LGPL license.

I want to develop an application in QT that will run on a windows mobile 6.0.

I have created a simple project in QT and I want create the visual project files so that I can compile on window mobile using visual studio and test using the emulator.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 TS and have the windows mobile 6 SDK installed.

However, I have created my project in QT and I browse to where the project is located using QT command prompt.

I am in the root of my project and I type qmake -tp vc I am get this output:

D:\Projects\PDA_Phone\PDA_Phone>qmake -t vc
WARNING: Unable to generate output for: D:/Projects/PDA_Phone/PDA_Phone//Makefile.Debug [TEMPLATE vc]
WARNING: Unable to generate output for: D:/Projects/PDA_Phone/PDA_Phone//Makefile.Release [TEMPLATE vc]

My directory contains the following files:

               5 Dir(s)  10,922,962,944 bytes free

Can anyone tell me if I am doing anything wrong with the above. I am totally new at using QT.

Many thanks for any advice,

Answer 1

Are you sure you're using qmake -tp vc? You mentioned it twice, but your output above shows you're using qmake -t vc. (note the -t instead of -tp)

You either need to use:

qmake -tp vc

or

qmake -t vcapp

It could also be a bad QMAKESPEC environment variable.

Try this:

set QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2008
qmake -tp vc
