[SOLVED] QT compling - error 740

uruloke

Hello,

I am having trouble with a fresh install of QT Creator, this is my first time using it.
When I press compile I get this error:

I am running an example code from an calendar with no changes made to it at all, but it doesn't look like it's an error in the code.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi,

@uruloke said:

CreateProcess(NULL, D:/Program Files/Git/bin/sh.exe -c "g++ ...")

mingw32-make detected sh.exe in your PATH, and now it wants to use sh.exe instead of cmd.exe. Windows doesn't allow that.

Remove D:\Program Files\Git\bin from your PATH.

@JKSH

Thank you, it worked to remove Git from my PATH. Now I just have to configure Git manually in all my other applications that uses Git.

JKSH

Hi @uruloke, I'm assuming you installed Git from https://msysgit.github.io/? If so, you could still have Git in your PATH by adding D:\Program Files\Git\cmd to your PATH. Don't add D:\Program Files\Git\bin.

And next time you install Git, select "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt". Don't select "Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt" -- this option causes problems like your error 740 (notice the big red warning for this option)

Git PATH options

Another option is to use Visual Studio instead of MinGW. Visual Studio doesn't have problems with sh.exe.

Thank you for clarifying what's causing the error.
I will work around this then, so I can set it up accordingly to how I wanna use it.
