Compiling Qt projects on Ubuntu fails every time - qt

Question

History
I've started mining on www.multiport.us and as such I am mining many different coins. Scrypt coins and sha-256.
I'd rather not have all my coins on Cryptsy or Vircuex, so I'm trying to get the Qt GUIs for each of the coins install compiled so I can have wallets on my PC.
Problem
I've been trying for several days now to get this stuff working and I just can't. I've tried with several different coins - Feathercoin, Novacoin, Namecoin, Worldcoin, Freicoin, Zetacoin, etc.
I have tried terminal, and Qt Creator, but I get different errors on each wallet, almost always missing program errors. I get missing bitcoin.cpp, missing QApplication, etc, etc. They just refuse to compile.
Fixes tried
In Qt Creator I have tried adding QT += Widgets, tried a couple of other things too.
In terminal I was originally using 'qmake', then 'make'. But that's been giving me various errors. Missing locale/****, or missing <QApplication>
I have been getting all my source files from the official SourceForge pages, and trying the latest releases and the "master" file list.
System
Ubuntu 13.10
qmake QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.0.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
QTCreator version 2.7.1
Following the readme's and instructional files i have also installed the following dependancies
qt4-qmake
libqt4-dev
build-essential
libboost-dev
libboost-system-dev
libboost-filesystem-dev
libboost-program-options-dev
libboost-thread-dev \
libssl-dev
libdb++-dev
libminiupnpc-dev
libgmp3-dev
libmpfr-dev
I really don't know what the problem is. I'm guessing it has something to do with being on 13.10, either that or there is something major I'm just not seeing. But all the source files are the same, they are built so all you need to do is qmake and make, to compile on your own system and then run. But I'm just having no luck at all.
QT Creator is version 2.7.1 from the repository.
Here is the .pro file I'm using.

As I have said the instructions that all of the wallets I'm trying to compile come with say the exact same thing.
Bitcoin-Qt: Qt4 GUI for Bitcoin
===============================
Build instructions
===================
Debian
-------
First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your
distribution are installed, these are
::
for Debian and Ubuntu <= 11.10 :
::
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
for Ubuntu >= 12.04 (please read the 'Berkely DB version warning' below):
::
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev
then execute the following:
::
qmake
make
Alternatively, install `Qt Creator`_ and open the `bitcoin-qt.pro` file.
An executable named `bitcoin-qt` will be built.
.. _`Qt Creator`: http://qt-project.org/downloads/
Mac OS X
--------
- Download and install the `Qt Mac OS X SDK`_. It is recommended to also install Apple's Xcode with UNIX tools.
- Download and install either `MacPorts`_ or `HomeBrew`_.
- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using MacPorts:
::
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install boost db48 miniupnpc
- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using HomeBrew:
::
brew update
brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4
- If using HomeBrew, edit `bitcoin-qt.pro` to account for library location differences. There's a diff in `contrib/homebrew/bitcoin-qt-pro.patch` that shows what you need to change, or you can just patch by doing
patch -p1 < contrib/homebrew/bitcoin.qt.pro.patch
- Open the bitcoin-qt.pro file in Qt Creator and build as normal (cmd-B)
.. _`Qt Mac OS X SDK`: http://qt-project.org/downloads/
.. _`MacPorts`: http://www.macports.org/install.php
.. _`HomeBrew`: http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/
Build configuration options
============================
UPnP port forwarding
---------------------
To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
::
qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from
http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/. UPnP support is not compiled in by default.
Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| USE_UPNP=- | no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required; |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| USE_UPNP=0 | (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime; |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| USE_UPNP=1 | build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime. |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Notification support for recent (k)ubuntu versions
---------------------------------------------------
To see desktop notifications on (k)ubuntu versions starting from 10.04, enable usage of the
FreeDesktop notification interface through DBUS using the following qmake option:
::
qmake "USE_DBUS=1"
Generation of QR codes
-----------------------
libqrencode may be used to generate QRCode images for payment requests.
It can be downloaded from http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.html.en, or installed via your package manager. Pass the USE_QRCODE
flag to qmake to control this:
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| USE_QRCODE=0 | (the default) No QRCode support - libarcode not required |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| USE_QRCODE=1 | QRCode support enabled |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Berkely DB version warning
==========================
A warning for people using the *static binary* version of Bitcoin on a Linux/UNIX-ish system (tl;dr: **Berkely DB databases are not forward compatible**).
The static binary version of Bitcoin is linked against libdb4.8 (see also `this Debian issue`_).
Now the nasty thing is that databases from 5.X are not compatible with 4.X.
If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, any source you
build yourself will be linked against that. The first time you run with a 5.X version the database will be upgraded,
and 4.X cannot open the new format. This means that you cannot go back to the old statically linked version without
significant hassle!
.. _`this Debian issue`: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621425
Ubuntu 11.10 warning
====================
Ubuntu 11.10 has a package called 'qt-at-spi' installed by default. At the time of writing, having that package
installed causes bitcoin-qt to crash intermittently. The issue has been reported as `launchpad bug 857790`_, but
isn't yet fixed.
Until the bug is fixed, you can remove the qt-at-spi package to work around the problem, though this will presumably
disable screen reader functionality for Qt apps:
::
sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi
.. _`launchpad bug 857790`: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt-at-spi/+bug/857790
But when I try and compile with QT Creator or through terminal I get:
home/kun7/CoinMining/zetacoin-0.8.3/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp:5: error: QApplication: No such file or directory
I have found that lots of people are adding 'QT += widgets' to their .ro files and it fixes it, but when I do that I get:
/home/kun7/CoinMining/zetacoin-0.8.3/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp:122: error: 'setCodecForTr' is not a member of 'QTextCodec'
/home/kun7/CoinMining/zetacoin-0.8.3/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp:123: error: 'setCodecForCStrings' is not a member of 'QTextCodec'
/home/kun7/CoinMining/zetacoin-0.8.3/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp:123: error: 'codecForTr' is not a member of 'QTextCodec'
What am I missing?

Answer 1

The issue has been fixed!!!
I was a moron.
I was trying to run
qmake
make
But my system has qmake version 5 installed and i installed verion 4 as per the dependencies. So instead, to get the program to compile correctly, i need to force the use of version 4...
qmake-qt4
make
Voiala!!!!!
