on Windows Qt Creator where do I enter commands like "cd" "nmake" and "configure"

Question

I am on windows. I need to make a .exe standalone (static) executable from my completed Qt project.

to do this I have to do such things as enter this somewhere

cd C:\path\to\Qt
configure -static <any other options you need>

and

nmake clean
qmake -config release
nmake

but I have no idea where to do this?! Where do I do this on Windows or on Qt Editor?

Is nobody even going to attempt to answer this? – JoseOrtiz3 Apr 10 '15 at 16:41 — JoseOrtiz3, Apr 10 '15 at 16:41

Go to start menu, type "cmd" then Enter. It will open a Windows command prompt. That's where commands are supposed to be typed.

Thanks jpo, I tried that and received an error for "configure", because I didn't have "configure.exe" in the directory. So I thought I must be doing it wrong, nope, I needed to download the Qt Source. – JoseOrtiz3 Apr 10 '15 at 22:48
Sure, it must be easier to compile the sources when you have them ;-) – jpo38 Apr 11 '15 at 05:51
