I am running Netbeans 8.2. I am also a 64 bit Windows 10 user. I have learned that I cannot build my C++ projects without qmake working. However, I have learned that the only way to obtain this from Qt seems to be via a huge 2Gb download (or even larger).
It also seems that the open source Qt download has an installation bug, but at any rate will not produce a built qmake for me. I haqve tried using GNU Make for Windows, with no successs from Netbeans? Can someone please reply back to me with a compatible, much smaller, version of qmake that will work with Netbeans so that I can build my C++ code using the C++ plugin for netbeans, please? Otherwise, can they link me to a Windows make utility that I can link to that will allow Netbeans 8.2 to finish C++ building?
