I have recently recompiled Qt so that I can use static instead of shared libraries. But now, when I try to compile my project, I get the following error:

QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced.

It seems like a common problem and I did do some research before posting. What’s puzzling me is that I did set the QMAKESPEC env var. Here is the output of printenv QMAKESPEC

/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.0/mkspecs/linux-g++

Also, here is the output of qmake -query QMAKESPEC

linux-g++

I have also tried playing around with the values, but it seems that qmake can’t see that variable at all… QTDIR is also specified properly.

I have also tried to recompile Qt and reinstall it.

Thanks for your help.

    Ok, sorry, I think I know what’s the problem. I have been picking up qmake from the old Qt installation that was left in /usr/bin/. I have deleted it now, and going to re-try installing Qt. Hope it will work =)
