I installed qt and qmake is using Qt version on 5.5.1.
qmake -v
version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.5.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
so how can i update qt version on ubuntu 16 to 5.7.
It appears that the most recent version available in the repo is 5.5.1.
So the way to go would be to just go to the Qt site and download either the online or the offline installer. You can also get the source and build it yourself, but that's rather slow and not recommended unless you actually need a custom build.
The installer will also give you a maintenance tool you can use to add or remove features and update in the future.

As per my information, Binaries (or offline/online installers) for installing Qt (>= 5.6) on 32-bit linux are not provided. For example, If I want to use Qt 5.9.0 on 32-bit linux (debian, specifically), the only option is to download Qt source and build it. I have successfully built Qt 5.9.0 on my 32-bit linux machine. But I have to do this on all my development PC's. Instead if I can build it once and create an installer somehow, that will save a lot of time. Is there a way to create offline installer (e.g. *.run files) for installing Qt 5.9.0 on 32-bit Linux (e.g. debian)?
As stated by #Velkan, Qt is available on 32 bit Debian from the official repos.
But, indeed, there is no 32-bit Linux installer from the Qt project.
Regarding copying a Qt install from a Debian PC to another, you do not need to create an installer. Just copy/tar/zip the directory in which Qt is installed. The only requirement is that you must keep the installation in the same absolute path as the Qt Core library has the path hardcoded in it and it is use for plugin detection.
NB1: It is possible to patch Qt Core library to change the hardcoded path and even make it relative. It is not officially documented but you can take a look in the sources of tools like windeployqt or the online installer
NB2: Do not use Qt 5.9.0, prefer 5.9.2. Both are forward and backward binary compatible, but the latter received bug fixes.
On my Ubuntu 16.04, I have some packages installed (through Synaptic) that have QT version 5.5.1. And they seem to be needed by software that I have (TeXstudio, for instance).
But as a developer I am trying to use Qt 5.9.1, which I installed by downloading it from the QT website (like this). But when I run qmake, it runs the wrong version. How can I choose which version I want to use?
$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.5.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
But I want this one:
~/lib/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.9.1 in /home/diego/lib/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/gcc_64/lib
I would like that all that when I'm building software or running software I have built (instead of software installed on the system) it uses 5.9.1. How can I do this?
You should run qmake with its full path:
$ ~/lib/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake
If you don't want to type full path, you could prepend your local Qt directory to PATH environment variable. In order for runtime linker to find right libraries, you can add Qt directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You could set QTDIR too, so tools like CMake find right Qt:
You could put following line in ~/.bashrc:
export QTDIR="~/lib/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/gcc_64/"
export PATH="$QTDIR/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
I just installed Qt 5.2 package on ubuntu. I simply created a Qt widget application, and when I tried to build it, I got the following message:
Qt Creator needs a compiler set up to build. Configure a compiler in
kit options
I have tried several things, all of which were unsuccessful. I tried setting the compiler kit to
Desktop Qt 5.2.0 GCC 32bit (default)
However it didn't work
After that I set the compiler to
GCC (x86 32bit in use/bin)
However that didn't work either.
I also tried adding gcc manually and gave it the path
/usr/bin/g++-4.6
but it still didn't work.
This is what appears in there Qt Version tab
This is what I get when I remove the .pro.user file and restart the IDE, Whats the difference between configuring a project as Desktop and Desktop Qt 5.2.0 GCC 32bit?
Qt Creator needs a version of tools that are able to link against the Qt binaries that the downloaded package contains. In your case, the local toolchain and the binaries don't match. That means that you would actually have to build the Qt with your toolkit and make sure that QtCreator can find the built binaries.
The simpler way for Ubuntu is to use the packaged version of the tools; they play well with the already delivered binaries. Use sudo apt-get install qtcreator to install it with all the dependencies.
I’ve downloaded QT 5.2 mingw. Then i had trouble with QtCreator loading the plugings(compiled with mingw). After that i found that the QtCreator is built with MSVC 2010!!!!
So why in Qt 5.2 (which is built with Mingw), its QtCreator is built with MSVC?!
Probably because all Qt Creator releases are built once and repackaged in the various installers. It's not a good reason, and might even be a bad reason given your problem, but it's probably the reason. Note the Qt SDK is not meant to be used for actual Qt (Creator) development (you will use the git repositories for that), which is probably why nobody ever ran into this mismatch.
Note you can easily rebuild Qt Creator from source. It's as simple as
qmake ../qt-creator-3.0.0 -r
mingw32-make release
If you have a qt-creator-3.0.0-build directory next to the extracted source.
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.
