My first console C++ program on Qt Creator

Of course. I get 6 issues. 5 of them are errors and one warning, as shown in the screenshot in the first post here.

The screenshot in your first post shows errors and warnings from the static code analyzer, not from your compiler. We can tell because the red circle and yellow triangles are "hollow". Errors and warnings from your compiler have "filled" circles and triangles.

Try to build and run your code to activate your compiler. Does it run successfully?

Anyway, you are seeing these errors because the static code analyzer thinks you are writing C code (not C++ code) for some reason. You can disable it by clicking Help > About Plugins... and unchecking C++ > Clang Code Model

If using qmake in Linux (Ubuntu) is this way, I did and below is the output. My project is on the Desktop named "hello_world".

I believe @SGaist meant running qmake from within Qt Creator, when your project is open. The menu item is Build > Run qmake.

Running qmake in the console does not change anything in Qt Creator.

What are the preferences choices for console C++ programming on the code model section, please?
How to find a way to be rid of these bothersome issues and go on programming?

Thanks so much. It removed the majority of the red underlines.
Only two lines remain!

One more thing: Why does the IDE think I'm C coding while I explicitly told it by choosing "plain C++" that I would be coding on C++?

I don't know. It works fine for me on Windows.

It might be related to your Kit settings (this is just a guess).

Kids are only the Desktop kit:

By the way, I'm on Linux. Have you tried a plain C++ project on Linux to see if there are those red underlines or not?

Hi! I think the problem is with your compiler, try setting it as g++ not gcc.

For example, using MinGW on Windows (compiler path is ....\g++.exe):

Unfortunately, I don't have a Linux machine with a recent version of Qt and Qt Creator.

One thing you could try is to create a Qt Console Application, then remove Qt from the .pro file.

@Cobra91151
Is it on Linux, please?
The options are different between Windows and Linux.

I don't think that Qt Creator is different on Linux and Windows. Check: Tools -> Options -> Kits -> Compilers. Then select your compiler and click Browse. Your compiler should be "..\g++.exe" or something similar to it. Check if it's available for you.

There is no g++ unfortunately.

[SGaist]

Do you mean you only have gcc installed ?
In that case, install g++.

[tomy]

@SGaist
I've that installed in its newest version on the machine.

[SGaist]

Can you show what the kit you are using looks like ?

If you have it installed, click the Add button to navigate and add the g++ compiler to Qt Creator.

Note:
Make sure you know the path to g++ compiler on your system.

Thanks so much to you both.
The problem was with the kits. I defined gcc for the C++ compiler and it removed the redundant stuff from the code.
