I have main.cpp in c:\test folder and do the following:

qmake -project
qmake -tp vc test.pro

The answer is:

WARNING: Unable to generate output for: C:/test//Makefile.Debug [TEMPLATE vcapp]
WARNING: Unable to generate output for: C:/test//Makefile.Release [TEMPLATE vcapp]

But, I don't need make files. I need .vcproj!

Environment: Windows XP Pro SP3, MSVC 7.1 and 8.0. Qt is installed in C:\Qt\2010.02 (LGPL version). Commands are run from Qt Command Prompt.

What's wrong with it? How to generate .sln/.vcproj? May I generate them for MSVC 7.1 and 8.0?

try using this from Qt command prompt and make sure you are in the same directory of the .pro file: 

qmake -spec win32-msvc2008 -tp vc

if you are using VS2005, 2010, 2012, or 2013, replace win32-msvc2008 with win32-msvc2005, win32-msvc2010, win32-msvc2012, or win32-msvc2013
