I am trying to take my first step into IT programming by not programming the whole GUI (Using Qt).

I was trying to compile the application for the Windows PC first, just to see the results.

I have not gotten it to compile though, mainly because nothing I could find was clear.

Most tutorials say type "qmake" into the command console. That OBVIOUSLY does not work without some previous steps... Can anyone help me out?

I have tried copying the qmake.exe into the folder with my project, and it outputs a Makefile. What should I do with that? Typing "make" does nothing.
