  Hi, As posted in your other thread, unless you have very specific needs, installing dependencies should be done using python's package manager. Use a proper dependency list to trigger their installation.

  @jensen Well i have not tried it (i use a virtual machine) but with WSL2 supports graphical apps so good chances you can make it work with Creator. But you will be able to compile etc for sure as everything command line just works. https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-on-wsl-2-is-generally-available https://www.pcworld.com/article/3543763/windows-10-moves-closer-to-true-linux-with-graphical-support-for-wsl2.html

  In previus answer I forgot to write that deployed glibc.so.6 in lib folder shows dependency to local ld or loader on deployed machine that differs from loader on my development machine. I did change that but it didnt help. Yes... I am suspecting also OpenSSL. But I do not know wich files or .so I have to put beside my elf/app file. Installed version on deployed machine is the same as the method QSslSocket::sslLibraryBuildVersionString() is showing or Qt is compiling against- 1.1.1b OpenSsl version. Could it be that my executable is looking for .so or OpenSsl files in some Qt folder on deployed machine? And those folders and files do not exists?

  Hi, and welcome! @An0n said in Uninstaller doesn't work: I've tried some fixes but they also didn't work What fixes did you try? If I try to uninstall it via the uninstaller itself, via the win10 uninstaller, or een by running MaintenenceTool.exe directly, nothing happens. What happens if you run MaintenanceTool.exe as Administrator? (Right-click > "Run as Administrator") What happens if you run it from the command line? Do you see any error messages?

  Hi and welcome to the forums Yes it should run on most other windows 10 64 bit. Maybe even win 7. But there is no guarantee as such with brand new mega patches. A license would give you many benefits but it's not better to deploy as such.

  I second everything @mrjj has said so far. It seems that the absence of a window manager might be the key issue here. However, in case other people end up on this page due to a matching error phrase, I will share a workaround that I encountered for OpenGL/QSurfaceFormat errors in the past. A couple years ago I was working on a Qt/QML project and I was using Xephyr during testing to create the X display. A subset of team members experienced an OpenGL-related issue. It seemed to depend on each person's graphics hardware. We ended up with a technical memo that said something like "when launching the app for testing, if you see any error about OpenGL, GLX, EGL, QSurface, or similar, the workaround is to install VirtualGL from virtualgl.org and insert vglrun into the command, like so:" DISPLAY=:12 vglrun -- $PROJECT_HOME/build/projectname/gui/test_app &

  I managed to solve this issue by following this guide: https://github.com/UvinduW/Cross-Compiling-Qt-for-Raspberry-Pi-4 I think the cross-compiler I downloaded above had issues using my sysroot directory. The instructions linked above use a linaro compiler (albeit an older one) and it compiled Qt 5.15 successfully.

  Hi Sgaist and thank you, I am thinking that is the case though now I have followed the instructions and installed qt and still don't have qmake so I am now going through it step by step to ensure I have done everything correctly. If I cannot resolve it, I will remove everything and start from scratch but it seems to be that qmake just isn't there when I install it. I will update here as I go. Thanks Neo

  @Lucas-Figueiras said in Can't use QT 5.12: @SGaist After some time without my pc, i finally got back, and I reinstalled ubuntu fresh, and the only thing i did was download QT from this link, and the same error still happens. If i try to do qmake --version, it says it's version 5.9.5, even tho QTcreator doesn't even have this option, since I only installed versions 5.12.9 and 5.15.0. So now i'm stuck again You are invoking the qmake matching the Qt version installed by your distribution which is the correct behaviour.

  I'm constantly trying to solve the issue... any help would be much appreciated.. I have noticed that when I choose different qmake, MySQL plugin is configured and prepared for building. Please have a look: embsys@JT-UBUNTU:~/raspi/test$ /home/embsys/Qt5.14.2/5.14.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/sqldrivers.pro -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/home/embsys/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf Running configuration tests...

Configure summary: Qt Sql Drivers: DB2 (IBM) .............................. no InterBase .............................. no MySql .................................. yes OCI (Oracle) ........................... no ODBC ................................... no PostgreSQL ............................. yes SQLite2 ................................ no SQLite ................................. yes Using system provided SQLite ......... no TDS (Sybase) ........................... no Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'. Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'. Qt will be installed into '/home/embsys/Qt5.14.2/5.14.2/gcc_64'. Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from the previous build. Unfortunately when I try to use the qmake for cross-compiler path I get the following: embsys@JT-UBUNTU:~/raspi/test$ /home/embsys/raspi/qtbase/qmake/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/sqldrivers.pro -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/home/embsys/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf Running configuration tests...

Just run 'make'. Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'. Qt will be installed into '/home/embsys/raspi/qt5pi'. Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from the previous build. I lack good knowledge about qmake tool, but maybe there is something wrong with the qmake I try to use for Raspberry PI. BTW I have different qmakes in my host: embsys@JT-UBUNTU:~/raspi$ sudo find / -name qmake -type f /home/embsys/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-05.03.00.07/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/qt5/qmake /home/embsys/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-05.02.00.10/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/qt5/qmake /home/embsys/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-05.02.00.10/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/qt5/qmake /home/embsys/Qt5.14.2/qt-everywhere-src-5.14.2/qtbase/bin/qmake /home/embsys/Qt5.14.2/5.14.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qt5/bin/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qtbase/bin/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qtbase/qmake/qmake find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake Could sb explain what is the difference between those qmakes that are in RPi paths? namely: /home/embsys/raspi/qt5/bin/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qtbase/bin/qmake /home/embsys/raspi/qtbase/qmake/qmake I tried all of them but they give the same results. Is it possible that I somehow have a problem with Qt instalation for cross-compiling (and consequently with qmake) and this is the problem?

  @JungJIhyun said in qtmqtt build on windows: When I try qtmqtt build using mingw32-make below errors are come The idea is that you have Qt already installed, either by installing pre-built files for your OS or by building Qt yourself, before building mqtt module. Is that your case? Could you please describe your environment (OS, Qt version, how you installed it, etc.)?

  Abbendum: In the meanwhile I ran in the qtwebengine folder qtwebengine> qmake -r (in addition to configure/make in the qt toplevel source directory) and learned from the output that I had to install a couple of more packages like fontconfig, xrandr ( libXrandr-devel on this centos machine ) After the dependenciese where solved, qtwebengine was built and my problem seems to be solved. (I am just waiting for the compiler and will then mark this as solved).

  @Skhms-E if I remember correctly it was fixed with the next Qt 5.12.7 update since it was a bug in Qt's build configuration. If you still get the bug then one of your build options. Below is part of my discussion with Qt support on this topic: I looked in both files and didn't see an obvious failure the anything relating to XCB. I've attached files. It doesn't list QPA modules that are not going to be built and that doesn't seem to be listing XCB under there. In config.log it looks like xcb libraries are found, but xkbcommon is not which is one of the dependencies for it: looking for library xkbcommon Trying source 0 (type pkgConfig) of library xkbcommon ... /usr/bin/pkg-config --exists --silence-errors xkbcommon '>=' 0.5.0 pkg-config did not find package. => source produced no result. Trying source 1 (type inline) of library xkbcommon ... None of [libxkbcommon.so libxkbcommon.a] found in [] and global paths. => source produced no result. test config.qtbase_gui.libraries.xkbcommon FAILED You can probably just install libxkbcommon-dev package, then rerun configure with -recheck-all as an additional option to force it to recheck all features.

  @umiedotre9 said in (Another) question about Qt creator licenses.: On the license page it says "Must provide a relinking mechanism for Qt libraries" Which page exactly? You can use QtCreator for closed source projects. The only problem is if you modify QtCreator and distribute that modified version, but this is not what you want to do, right? Another example: you can use GCC for closed source projects even though it is GPL. It is just a tool which you do not distribute and which is not part of your project.

  Found the fix. It was the VM display driver which don't have opengl support. Once I turned on the 3D Acceleration in VirtualBox settings the static application worked perfectly. So, I guess the bug has been fixed. I can confirm that I have built Qt 5.15.0 statically on Windows and 5.12.9 on Linux and in both cases static application worked with -opengl desktop.

Didn't eliminate everything i didn't need but took the download time from an hour to about 5 mins (once I choose the right mirror) Might be able to change the mirror in the online installer, tbh I didn't look I was too annoyed with it at that point to ever want to use it again.
