Compiling Qt5.2.1 from source on windows

Question

I downloaded the qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw48_opengl-5.2.1.exe

installed also the source.

Compiling MinGW:

• cd C:\QtSDK\5.2.1\Src\qtbase\qmake
  
• make
  
• Return: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
  

In that folder is the correct one for copilar Qt?

Answer 1

No, that is not the correct folder.

You have to run configure from the root of the source directory. This will generate the necessary Makefiles. Then you execute make. Detailed instructions are available on the Qt project website:

Be warned, the Qt build is quite lengthy.
