Installing Qt with VS2010 - visual-studio-2010

I have followed the directions here to download and extract the files for Qt and prepare my VS environment for installation.
However, when I run the configure command listed there in a VS2010 command prompt, it says 'configure is not recognized as an internal or external command'.
Is there something wrong with my path or something? Where do I find the configure utility file?
Thanks for your help.

sundials package installation on windows

I need to install the "cvode" from sundials package version 5.3.0. I was following the install guide, but there was an error.
The guide says "Back in the VS Command Window: (a) Run msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj". However, when I type the commands (start msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj) in the prompt, a message is shown saying that the word "msbuild" was not recognized
I have Visual Studio, so msbuild had already been installed in my computer.
I don't know if the problem is in this other step, where there is an instruction to be done inside builddir:
Run cmake-gui ../solverdir
(c) Change CMAKE INSTALL PREFIX to instdir
I didn't understand step "(c)" very well , so I changed the "value" in the cmake windows to "C:\Users\User\builddir\solverdir\sundials-5.3.0\instdir". However, " instdir" doesn't exist in this folder, because I couldn't find it in any of the folders inside builddir.
I'm new at this, so it would be a big help if anyone could help me find the mistake. Thanks!

MSVCP120.dll missing

I compiled and linked an executable file in VS2013, and then tried to run that exe on another computer.
I get this error on the other computer:
I read on this problem, and I saw I need to download VS2013 on the other computer to be able to execute this file.
But what is the point in exe file if I need to download a VS2013 on any computer I want to run it on?
Is there any normal way to execute it through the visual without go through this problem?
The MSVCP120.dll is part of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. Download and install it on the other PCs to get the program working or link the required lib via static linking.

Where is the dotnet command executable located on Windows?

I am exploring the new Entity Framework Core (NOT in conjunction with ASP.Net, what I am coding is just a WinForms app) and found some tutorials mentioning a dotnet command line command needed to create "migrations". When I try it, however, it says 'dotnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I have searched my hard drive for "dotnet.exe", "dotnet.bat" and "dotnet.cmd" but have found nothing. I use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. Where do I find this command executable? What am I to add to the %PATH% environment variable for it to work?
dotnet.exe is located in
C:\Program Files\dotnet>
If you are using command prompt and getting message that 'dotnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" then first check the above path. If you found the above path then just copy it and set it as an environment variable of your PC.
Steps:
Open control panel>System and Security>System
Click on Advanced system settings
In advanced section, click in Environment Variables
In System variables, select path and edit
After semicolon, write "C:\Program Files\dotnet"
Click on Ok button till end.
now to check whether its working on not. Just open command propmpt and type
dotnet --version
This will show the dotnet version installed in your PC.
I've just found the answer myself. It seems like the dotnettool does not get installed with Visual Studio. Installing .NET Core tools preview for Visual Studio (direct link to the .NET Core 1.0.1 tools Preview 2: DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3.exe) resolved the problem by adding %ProgramFiles%\dotnet\dotnet.exe.
I have faced another problem after this, however: the dotnet tool running but saying No executable found matching command "dotnet-ef" but this is a matter of another question. I will, however, share the solution here once I find it.
UPDATE:
As promised, here are the question and the answer about the thext problem I have faced (the No executable found matching command "dotnet-ef" error).
And here is the solution for the next one (the ... violates the constraint of type 'TContext' error)
For me it is located at C:\Program Files\dotnet
You need to install .NET SDK separately. You can download and install from https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/5/115B762D-2B41-4AF3-9A63-92D9680B9409/dotnet-sdk-2.1.4-win-gs-x64.exe
More details : https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started/windows
Also I did not have to set up path variable. After running above installation dotnet was automatically added in path. Just open a new cmd and run -
C:\Users\anike>dotnet --version
2.1.4
I have the same issue on windows 10 64bit after installing dotnet core SDK 3.1
To resolve it, I defined the environnement variables path for .netcore 3.1 and restarted my machine.
Download and install .NET core from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core, open a new prompt once it's installed.
dotnet
You will get the following message if installation is successful. The path where dotnet.exe is will be added to PATH as part of the installation.
Usage: dotnet [options]
Usage: dotnet [path-to-application]
Options:
-h|--help Display help.
--info Display .NET Core information.
--list-sdks Display the installed SDKs.
--list-runtimes Display the installed runtimes.
path-to-application:
The path to an application .dll file to execute.
If you're using .NET Framework 4.x and WinForms, you probably don't want to use the .NET Core tools (i.e. dotnet ef). Instead, install the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools package and use the NuGet Package Manager Console (or PMC) PowerShell cmdlets: Add-Migration, Update-Database, etc.
To future readers
If on Windows check if you have multiple installations of dotnet on Program Files and Program Files (x86) or Program Files(x32). win + R open cmd, type
where.exe dotnet
only Program Files should have dotnet. Restart Visual Studio .
I had the following error in Visual Studio when first installed .net sdk. I finally just closed VS code, reopened VS Code, and it worked fine.
'dotnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
For windows the reason was that it need to run from a Command prompt outside from visual studio.
execute this command in command prompt,
dotnet run
then application run in https://localhost:5001

Setting Up .NET Build Environment with setenv - Two Warnings - Could not find vsvars32.bat Visual C++ Does not appear to be installed

I'm trying to compile some netmf firmware using MSBUILD with Yagarto. I'm doing it on a machine with VS2012 and all the right pre-requisites installed. From a command prompt as administrator, I go to the NetMF Porting Kit folder, where all the source code lives, I call setenv_gcc.cmd 4.6.0 c:\yagarto46
Doing so yields two warnings:
WARNING: Count not find vsvars32.bat
WARNING: VISUAL C++ DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
INSTALLED ON THIS MACHINE.
When I try the above command from VS2012 Developer Command Prompt as Administrator I get the following ERROR
ERROR: Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder.
I've done the path modifications in Environment System Variables with no luck.
Thanks!
VS2010 command prompt gives error : Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder
I modified the vsvars32.bat file in the vs11 and vs10 folders accordingly and the error went away... Now onto eliminating my build errors....

Building Qt for Visual Studio 2010 - cannot open file 'qtmaind.lib'

I'm trying to start a C++ Qt application and have it run and compile in Visual Studio 2010.
Doing some googling, I found that there was a Visual Studio Qt Add-in, and so I installed this. I already had a MinGW Qt binary installed, and when this did not work, I found that you have to compile the source for Visual Studio 2010 (the VS 2008 binary will cause deployment issues).
Using this as a guide: How to build Qt for Visual Studio 2010, I compiled the open source version, and added it to the PATH, along with a QTDIR env variable. Hoping that I got it finally working, I created a "Qt Application" using the New Project Wizard in Visual Studio 2010. Once I finished, I tried to build the program, only to see the following error:
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'qtmaind.lib'
I looked in the C:\QT\lib folder, and found that I only have a qtmaind.prl, but no clue as to why there is no qtmaind.lib.
I am able to echo the QMAKESPEC environmental variable to get a 'win32-msvc2010' output.
I've tried several different combinations of flags for the configure step, including the one in the link, and even tried manually setting the -platform flag.
If anyone can offer any help, it would be greatly appreciated! :D
Just ran across this same problem. I changed the "-release" flag from the linked guide to "-debug-and-release", and then it built the qtmaind.lib library (presumably, that "d" suffix stands for debug).
I encountered this issue when running a project whose settings were hardcoded for a particular machine setup.
I could see that the vcxproj file had something like:
C:\Qt\4.8.1\libqtmaind.lib
I could not find this lib file in my machine. I replaced the line by:
C:\Qt\4.7.3\lib\Qtmaind.lib
It looks like the names of library files are different across Qt versions.Or, maybe the library files were renamed.
Also, the 'd' denoted debug. If you cannot find any lib file post-fixed by 'd', it is likely that you did not 'make' a debug version of Qt.
You can cross check this by opening the .Sln file created by configure. Mine was named Projects.sln. You can open this in notepad and see if win32-debug configurations are present.
This might be a QMAKESPEC issue. Try setting your QMAKESPEC environment variable to
win32-msvc2010
and rebuild Qt like that. This should give you .lib files in your Qt folder
in QT 5.3 with vs 2013
in properties -> linker -> input
remove ANY path for qt libraries such qtmaind.lib
this is known BUG
