How to generate .sln/.vcproj using qmake

Question

I have main.cpp in c:\test folder and do the following:

qmake -project
qmake -tp vc test.pro

The answer is:

WARNING: Unable to generate output for: C:/test//Makefile.Debug [TEMPLATE vcapp]
WARNING: Unable to generate output for: C:/test//Makefile.Release [TEMPLATE vcapp]

But, I don't need make files. I need .vcproj!

Environment: Windows XP Pro SP3, MSVC 7.1 and 8.0. Qt is installed in C:\Qt\2010.02 (LGPL version). Commands are run from Qt Command Prompt.

What's wrong with it? How to generate .sln/.vcproj? May I generate them for MSVC 7.1 and 8.0?

Answer 1

It seems I've installed bundle that doesn't support MSVC (MinGW only). Going to download sources and install Qt according to this and that.

Answer 2

try using this from Qt command prompt and make sure you are in the same directory of the .pro file:

qmake -spec win32-msvc2008 -tp vc

if you are using VS2005, 2010, 2012, or 2013, replace win32-msvc2008 with win32-msvc2005, win32-msvc2010, win32-msvc2012, or win32-msvc2013

I would suggest you use the following line :

qmake -tp vc Test.pro -o Test.vcproj

If you start a new project, I would really recommend you to test this scrits package... A friend of mine wrote them and they are excellent ! Take 10 minutes to read how to create them, and in no time, you'll have all the scripts you need to create PRO, VCPROJ and build in one command...

Cope

"qmake -tp vc Test.pro -o Test.vcproj" generated test.vcproj but this is not vcproj. It is just plain old Makefile with difference name :-( – Formation

Answer 4

Most simple one qmake -project qmake -t vcapp

and you get the .vcproj file
