When trying to build a sample Cascades app to debug on the PlayBook, I get some errors in the output.

I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit) using the QNX Momentics IDE.  

Here is the output:

I've bolded the output where I think the problem might be occuring.  Is there a problem with the Makefile, or is there a directory I'm missing, or anything else?  I can't seem to find out why there is an error when compling.

Thanks for any help.

I have the same Could not find qmake... warnings. But finally, after i was able to setup successfully the simulator target, the sample app run, even with this qmake warnings.

I have that problem too.

Ok, so I set up the Momentics IDE on my windows 7 64-bit desktop instead of my laptop and everything is working flawlessly.  It still has the qmake config issues, but at least it compiles and works great.  That's all I care about.

A weird issue was that the Momentics IDE on my laptop didn't seem to find the simulator target, only the PlayBook but I didn't think this would be an issue. But the desktop finds the simulator (VMware 4.0.3) no problem, and it works. 

So I guess the issue was that the simulator terget needs to be properly setup for it to compile. 

I did try to re-install the IDE on the laptop with no success, and create a new sample project too.  Guess I'm bound to code on my desktop or through remote desktop for now.

Strange thing, sample projects that I've downloaded from https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/cascades/sampleapps works perfect, but when I created a new one, it can't see that blackberry target.

So I took some drastic measures and reinstalled windows 7 on my laptop.  Everything is working fine now.  Not sure what it was but something was off with my previous windows installation.  I still get the qmake configuration warnings, but as what previously stated, those don't matter, but it compiles now without those make errors in the end so I can run the program.

Answering on my own question.

Fixed by setting next: right click on project -> Build Configuration -> Set Active -> Simulator-Debug

Thank you all for your posts.

thanks, I had the same strange issue and this post solved it.

i`ve through the same thing, but it happen when im create project name with space

I know how to solve that. If you name of user account in windows contain non-english letters or spaces it can be bad for IDE paths. Just delete sdk and make new user account with just english letters and install after installing you can use sdk from old your user account with non-english characters
