Solved Error installing Qt 5.7 emulator in 64-bit Ubuntu
-
Hi @SGaist , i'm finally back aft some network issues!. The emulator is for Qt 5.7 itself.
-
Again: what do you mean by emulator ? Do you mean your virtual machine ?
-
Oh, my apologies, i'm referring to the Qt creator emulator.
At the point of installation, there's an option to install emulator so I can compile & run everything in Qt Creator itself.
-
What Qt Creator emulator ?
Qt Creator itself is an IDE
-
oh, okies, let me try again, it's the Qt setup (via the installer), then under Qt Embedded, there're a few options for Boot to Qt Software Stack 5.7.0.2, that includes BSP like BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi 3 etc.. And one of the options includes Emulator which i'd like to install as well. When I selected this option and click next, the error message prompts:
"VirtualBox was not found on your computer. It is needed to install the Emulator of this SDK. Install VirtualBox first or deselect all Emulator components."
-
@embdev Well, the error messages already says what you have to do. Did you try to install VirtualBox?
-
Actually I already had virtualbox installed on Windows; somehow the installer can't detect the software
-
You are installing Qt in a an Ubuntu in Virtual Box. That Ubuntu has absolutely no idea it is running inside a virtual machine.
You are currently expecting that the Linux Qt installer detects your Windows installed Virtual Box from within a Linux guest and use it inside that guest which is just not possible at all.
-
Actually previously when installing on 32-bit Ubuntu, with the emulator option selected, the boot2qt was installed on virtualbox automatically but now when I tried to install the emulator in 64-bit Ubuntu, virtualbox was somewhat not detected.

-
@jsulm yes you're right, my Ubuntu is running inside my virtual machines. Perhaps slip off my mind, I might have installed my Qt previously in the windows environment, that explains why the boot2qt was installed into the virtualbox itself.
Thanks for the clarification!
