    And please, note that it is Qt, not QT. QT is usually associated with Apple's QuickTime, and we don't want that association do we?

      Hell no :) But I grew tired of seeing that being pointed out everywhere, so I stopped paying attention when people get it "wrong". It is not a big mistake anyway. And Google searches in lowercase only, so for them Qt and QT are equal.

        Sierdzio, thanks for the help. I downloaded Creator and opened the README file for installation instructions. But the qmake -r command wouldn't work. There isn't a Makefile at the top level. I found a Makefile.linux in one of the subdirectories. Should I use that?

          Hi,

          Did you download the sources or the pre-built version of QtCreator ?

            I downloaded Qt Creator source code tar.gz (which is "qt-creator-2.8.0-src.tar.gz").

              I'd say: why don't you try and see if QtCreator isn't already provided as a package by your distro, or perhaps even an alternate repository for your distribution?

                It should work, then. This is what I usually do to build QtC:
                @
                cd /my/extracted/qtcreator
                mkdir build
                cd build
                qmake ../qtcreator.pro
                make -j9
                @

                That's it. So far it has worked every time, also when building with QBS enabled.

                  Thank you. I followed the instructions, and I received these errors after the qmake:

                    What does your qmake --version return ?

                        3.3.8 ? It's a really really old qmake... What system are you running that uses such an outdated Qt ?

                            Like the error message says, you have to first install at least Qt 4.8

                              I downloaded the Qt source code tar.gz (which is “qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0.tar.gz”) and used the instructions from http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/install-x11.html to make and install. I also downloaded Qt Creator source code tar.gz (which is “qt-creator-2.8.0-src.tar.gz”), looked at the README file for installation instructions, but the qmake didn’t work. So, evidently the system isn't recognizing the newer version of Qt. How can I fix that?

                                You can simply use the full path to your Qt 5.1 qmake.

                                Building & installing Qt from sources won't overwrite your system Qt install (that would wreak havoc)

                                  Okay, thanks! That worked. After the qmake worked, I continued to follow sierdzio's instructions (shown below), and performed the "make -j9".

                                  1. cd /my/extracted/qtcreator
                                  2. mkdir build
                                  3. cd build
                                  4. qmake ../qtcreator.pro
                                  5. make -j9

                                  After the "make -j9", it appeared to make until I received these errors:

                                  make[3]: Leaving directory /home/cpatterson/Downloads/qt-creator-2.8.0-src/build/src/libs/ssh' make[2]: Leaving directory /home/cpatterson/Downloads/qt-creator-2.8.0-src/build/src/libs'

                                  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cpatterson/Downloads/qt-creator-2.8.0-src/build/src'
                                  make: *** [sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 2

                                  Do you know what's wrong with this? I'm sorry to know such a small amount, but I'm trying to learn. Thanks!

                                        Don't you have other lines that contains "error" ?
