I'm trying to install Pycam with the instructions for binary install. I have the QT develpoment package and enabled the mingw install. I've set the path and qmakespec environment variables to what the instructions say.
When I run the pycam exe only the 3d viewer appears....
There is one thing I dont understand in the instructions. Where it says, "set PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\mingw48_32\bin;C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\Tools\Mingw48_32\bin;%PATH%" \, what does %PATH% mean????
How can I fix this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
A name surrounded by "%" is the Windows way of referring to a variable. In this case you are extending the previous PATH variable with some more directories. The point of this operation is to make some more commands/programs accessible without specifying their full path.
Regarding QT and other tools, I have no clue. Maybe you should add a link to the instructions you are following, thus someone else could help you?
