Yo snailbrain, thanks for the reply man - this is driving me nuts. OK, here's what I get:
git checkout namecoin-qt - produces: D project/namecoin-qt.pro
D project/run_qmake.bat
Already on 'namecoin-qt'
cd project - no problem
qmake "USE_UPNP=-" - produces:
Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]
QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project
Mode:
-project Put qmake into project file generation mode
In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
be built,
defaults to *.c; *.ui; *.y; *.l; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc; *.h; *.hpp; *.hh; *.hxx; *.H; *.cpp; *.cc; *.cxx; *.C
Note: The created .pro file probably will
need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
specify what modules are required.
-makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
file in your current working directory
Warnings Options:
-Wnone Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
later -W options
-Wall Turn on all warnings
-Wparser Turn on parser warnings
-Wlogic Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
-Wdeprecated Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)
Options:
* You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
* processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be parsed *
* before [files]. *
-o file Write output to file
-d Increase debug level
-t templ Overrides TEMPLATE as templ
-tp prefix Overrides TEMPLATE so that prefix is prefixed into the value
-help This help
-v Version information
-after All variable assignments after this will be
parsed after [files]
-norecursive Don't do a recursive search
-recursive Do a recursive search
-set <prop> <value> Set persistent property
-unset <prop> Unset persistent property
-query <prop> Query persistent property. Show all if <prop> is empty.
-cache file Use file as cache [makefile mode only]
-spec spec Use spec as QMAKESPEC [makefile mode only]
-nocache Don't use a cache file [makefile mode only]
-nodepend Don't generate dependencies [makefile mode only]
-nomoc Don't generate moc targets [makefile mode only]
-nopwd Don't look for files in pwd [project mode only]
None of which I understand as I've never used qmake before so never had to worry about it. There's no mention of this in the tutorial either. I know I sound like a complete assnoob, but I've so far managed to compile every cryptocoin client there is bar this one - what am I doing wrong here my man? Talking to me like a 10 year old would be beneficial too........
Edit: My namecoin build does have a project folder - that's where the guide is correct though. If there's not supposed to be a project folder, where does git download the files to? And why does the guide mention the project folder if it's not supposed to be there? It would be nice if there was just one definitive guide that just works, instead of a mix of several that might/might not work depending on what guide you originally followed eh?
