[Qt-interest] qt 4.7 installer: there's a problem with your mingw installation

[Gabriele Kahlout]

OK, I've managed to reproduce this on Windows XP with Qt 4.7 beta 1.
This is Qt problem. qmake generates invalid makefile, without any path
separator at all between "bin" and tool name ("uic", "idc", "moc").

E.g. I see the following buggy lines in the makefile produced by qmake:

> IDC           = c:/util/qt-4.7b1/binidc.exe
> ...
> ui_HelloForm.h: HelloForm.ui
>         c:/util/qt-4.7b1/binuic.exe HelloForm.ui -o ui_HelloForm.h

This is without NetBeans at all, pure command line.

Please file a bug against Qt.

To clarify: I saw this problem when running qmake from both MSYS shell and cmd.

Yes, Qt Creator uses CONFIG+=debug_and_release (this is the default) and
generates two makefiles: Makefile.Debug and Makefile.Release. They
contain correct paths.

NetBeans uses CONFIG-=debug_and_release (explicitly), and the generated
makefile contains wrong paths for some unknown reason.
