Question:
How to uninstall QT Creator from Linux machine?
I have a corrupted install on a Debian Jessie machine. I have tried reinstalling, fixing, etc. and with no luck. I was advised to uninstall completely, grab the newest version and reinstall.
The problem is that I'm not sure how to do this and every time I try, QT keeps coming back with the same exact issues, I'm assuming because of some config files that are not getting deleted in the removal process.
Running qmake --version gives me this output:
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.6.2 in /home/greg/anaconda2/lib
Running pkg-config --modversion QtCore gives me this output:
Package QtCore was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `QtCore.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'QtCore' found
The problem is that I've got several versions installed, in different folders and I want to completely start over with a fresh install of QT Creator. Version 5.10 was installed yesterday via the QT maintenence tool, but for some reason won't run. I just need to remove it and start over. QT 5.9.3 and 5.10 are installed at /home/greg and you can see 5.6.2 is installed in my anaconda2 folder. Not sure how this happened. I'm still a newb so still learning.
How can I do a complete/full uninstall and removal of ALL QT creator files without deleting other QT files, such as KDE dependencies, etc., so that I can do a fresh install with new config settings????
Qt Creator creates some configuration files and subdirs in ~/.config/QtProject/ (also check ~/.config/Nokia/), which aren't cleaned up by removing the package (in general that's the case with all personal settings in your home directory). Removing them manually should solve that issue, if your diagnosis is right and it's not a more general problem of your system or setup.

I have installed qt-creator on windows 10 using msys2.
I installed packages according to https://wiki.qt.io/MSYS2
base-devel git mercurial cvs wget p7zip
perl ruby python2 mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
mingw-w64-i686-qt-creator mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-creator
I had previously installed qt from the official site but the mingw version is too old and I'd rather not have two mingw versions installed.
I have existing C:\msys64\mingw64\share\qt5\examples folder but it seems there are some folders missing from C:\msys64\mingw64\share\qt5\doc compared to the official install. Maybe that has something to do with it.
So the question: Is there a specific package I need to install so that the examples show up in the qt-creator examples page or something else?
I found in this place https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/qt5-examples/
decompress with
zstd -df qt5-examples-5.14.2-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
and then
tar xzf qt5-examples-5.14.2-1-any.pkg.tar
the examples are saved in /usr/share/doc/qt/examp,es
The qt-creator in msys2 distribution do not have examples installed. The msys2 also do not have separate package for it.
But as what #user3930978 found. You can use example package from archlinux site for workaround.
But unfortunately, msys2 qt5 configured with "-nomake examples" parameter. You need to modify generated file. The easiest way is still to install qt5 and creator with official full pack.
I am installing OMNET++ 5.1.1. However, during the installation, it is reported that:
configure: error: Cannot build Qt apps, probably due to missing or too old Qt packages. Make sure Qt development packages are installed and newer than Qt 5.4. You can disable Qtenv by setting the WITH_QTENV variable to "no" in configure.user.
Then I download and install the Qt from https://www.qt.io/download/. But it still report the same problem. How can I solve this problem ? Thank you.
I assume you're running some kind of GNU/Linux, because on Windows and macOS, the bundled Qt libraries should just work.
Try installing the Qt5 development packages using your distro's native package manager, then they should be detected.
If you can't, or they are too old, take a look in the configure.user file, and adjust the value of the QT_PATH variable according to the instructions there.
EDIT:
Since the OS was clarified: On Windows, you don't need to download Qt, or any other library separately. They are all bundled with the OMNeT++ distribution, and should work fine.
Just make sure you always use the included mingwenv shell to install and run OMNeT++. In it, the environment variables are set up as necessary.
If you are installing OMNET++ on windows make sure you extract the zip file to a folder other than "Program Files" and deactivate your antivirus during the installation process.
I've been using OpenCV and Marble libraries compiled and linked with Qt. Every time I do it I have problems running cmake to make these libraries. it seems paths in the qt cmake files to other qt cmake files are incorrect. I get errors like:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:67 (find_package):
By not providing "FindQt5DBus.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5DBus", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5DBus" with any
of the following names:
Qt5DBusConfig.cmake
qt5dbus-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "Qt5DBus" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Qt5DBus_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"Qt5DBus" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
I can fix this in Ubuntu by running
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
This is fine in Ubuntu, but now I am trying to compile these libraries on mac and windows now. Anyone know a way to get a Qt with all of these paths already correct? tried the installer on windows and mac, and brew on mac. I don't really have time to play with fixing each one of these errors one by one
At least Qt 5.5 on Windows (using the Qt installer) should work out of the box. It has DBus included. Which Qt version are you using currently?
Up until Anaconda3 (which contains Python 3.4) was re-installed on my RedHat 6.5 workstation, I have been able to develop Python apps that use PyQT5.
Post re-install of Anaconda I receive an error message:
....could not find or load Qt platform plugin xcb
The only difference between Anaconda installs is the folder name: /usr/local/ananaconda3 vs /usr/local/anaconda_py3
I checked libqxcb.so has no missing dependencies.
I rebuilt PyQT5.
I tried explicitly adding location of site-packages of PyQT5:
import site
site.addsitedir("...path.../python3.4")
Any other suggestions?
How does re-installing Python impact the use of PyQT5?
This is an error caused by having two different versions of Qt under the same installation/environment.
Check the packages installed and their versions in your environment (if for some reason you're not working in a virtual environment, you can skip the first line):
source activate yourenvname
conda list
If you see pyqt and qt both with version 4.X.X then remove them (assuming you want to work in Qt v5):
conda remove qt
conda remove pyqt
I had an issue that seems to match what happened here.
But in my case the solution was to "sudo rm -rf user/anaconda3" and reinstall it with "bash anaconda....sh", because I had previously installed it using sudo ("sudo bash anaconda....sh")
Windows 7: I have installed Qt 4.8.4 Win and Qt Creator 2.6.2 Win, VS2010 (from here). When I try to open a project (previously compiled with Qt 4.8.3 / Creator 2.5.2), it says I need a kit (no valid kit) and eventually I end up at Qt version is not properly installed. All is shown in the screenshots below.
I have checked some solutions:
SO QT version is not properly installed, please run make install is for Linux
Some say, I need to install Qt SDK, but where do I find this (this one contains older Creator / Qt versions), and what sense would the individual installers make if I need SDK?
Some say, I need to add Qt to path, but what exactly? Creator? The Qt 4.8.4, the qmake dir?
Somehow I fail with this make install, nothing happens.
I have installed the 5.0.1 including Creator 2.6.2 as one installation, this works. But when I then download 4.8.4. and try to add it as QT Version, same issue: Qt version is not properly installed
Any idea what I would need to do or install.
-- Edit -- List of trials ---
Added my Qt 4.8.4 and its qmake dir to PATH
Re-installed Qt in different order: Qt 4.8.4 first / Creator 2.6.2 thereafter
Opened Qt CMD Prompt qmake install (as in the suggestions): 4.8.4\install:1: Parse Error ('INSTALLING Qt Source Package Version 4.8.4.') Error processing project file: install
qmake install from Qt CMD. Runs 20 minutes, Laptop gets extremly hot, then it crashes
P:\Qt\Libs\4.8.4>qmake\qmake.exe install
QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced.
Error processing project file: install
I had the same problem. Try to choose "qmake.exe" from the BIN folder, not the qmake folder, so in your case probably P:\Qt\Libs\4.8.4\bin\qmake.exe
Based on SO: How to install Qt on Windows after building? I eventually got to http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/install-win.html
Simply running configure solved it for me, I did not build, nothing else. The installer did apply several patches, so I still do not get why I have to run configure.
