configure failed can't find wingw32-make


Message 1 in thread

Hi,

I am using 'Cygwin' under WindowsXP and trying to compile Qt 4.2.3 (open 
source version), on the command line, but configure failed with the 
following message:
~~~
Creating qmake...
execute: File or path is not found (mingw32-make)
execute: File or path is not found (mingw32-make)
Cleaning qmake failed, return code -1
~~~

I downloaded and installed Cygwin with all the packages. I search for 
mingw32-make in c:/MinGW directories and could not find any !.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
JR

... but MinGW32 w/out(!!!) MSYS works perfectly :-) Look at 
http://www.mingw.org :-)

Cygwin is unix/linux in Windows. MinGW is minimum Gnu for Windows and 
includes a dll that allows programs linked against it to run directly in 
Windows. MinGW is not a part of Cygwin. After installing MinGW, and Qt, 
open a standard terminal window (cmd.exe) and run the build commands 
from that window.

For the build command do you mean 'configure.exe'  at the 
qt-win-opensource-src-4.2.3 ?

I open cmd.exe (terminal window) cd to qt's directory and ran 
configure.exe, got the same errors.

Hi Joshua,

When you install Qt open source version in Windows XP, you get "Qt by 
Trolltech" in your Program Files right? There's actually a shortcut 
there to "Qt 4.2.3 Command Prompt"...you can use that to compile/run all 
your files. It's MinGW all properly configured. That's what I used..

HTH,
K.

1.) Make sure you have MinGW32 installed (http://www.mingw.org)
2.) Make sure you have "c:\path\to\Mingw32\bin" in your PATH environment 
variable
3.) Make sure you have NO "sh.exe" in your PATH (if you have installed 
cygwin - you probably DO HAVE it ... remove it!)
4.) Try again :-)

Malte

Then either you don't have mingw properly installed or your path 
environment variable includes C:\cygwin\bin. If you must use cygwin (I 
do) use cygwin.bat to launch cygwin shells. If you don't need cygwin, 
remove it.
