Necessitas/KnownIssuesWindows

This page lists known issues and their workarounds with the SDK release on Windows. Over time the list will become smaller until it eventually vanishes. :)

Note: It is important to note that currently all Windows users are affected by these problems. In order for your SDK installation to work you have to do all the solution steps described afterwards.

Problem: Java JDK needs to be installed. Solution: Download the royalty free OpenJDK or use the proprietary Oracle JDK.

Problem: java.exe needs to be in PATH variable. Solution: Modify your PATH variable and add the respective directory.

Problem: JDK installation directory needs to set in JAVA_HOME Solution: Modify your environment variables and set JAVA_HOME to the installation directory (not the jre/bin folder inside).

Problem: Ant installation needed. Solution: Download Ant 1.8.2 (or later) and unpack the archive somewhere.

Problem: make.exe needs to be copied in QtCreator/bin folder. Solution: Copy the file over.

Problem: Generated makefiles depend on Unix tools like cp, rm and so on. Solution: Install git for Windows and make sure its main directory is in your PATH variable. It also contains the necessary Unix tools.
