    The offline installer already provides you with a pre-built Qt.

      How do I activate it? In tutorial they where explaining how to build from source only... From what I remember. I kinda read the readme file... And the instruction in readme file is:

      ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase <license> -nomake tests
          make -j 4

        Did you actually ran the offline installer ?

          There is no runnable binary, for what I can see. Or I don't know the name... There are many modules here.

            @UltraBurstXD The offline installer is just one file. But offline installers are not available anymore for open source users (without commercial license). So, what exactly did you download?

                @UltraBurstXD As I said: offline installer is just one file. Make it executable (chmod u+x OFFLINE_INSTALLER_FILE) and execute it. No need to build anything.

                  @jsulm I don't know name of offline installer... It's my first time using qt... perhaps should I specify qt modules path to qt creator? And configure the environment variables?

                    @UltraBurstXD Lets do one step after another: you downloaded the offline installer, is that correct? Like http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.10.run

                      Yes, I did and extracted the files to home. As seen:Screenshot from 2020-12-15 10-16-28.png

                      The archive name is qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.tar.xz

                        @UltraBurstXD You did NOT download the offline installer, you downloaded the source code. Can you please post the exact file name you downloaded?

                          It turns out I downloaded Qt 5.15.x Source Packages... My internet data plan... And it can't configure because of OpenGL.

                            @UltraBurstXD Didn't you want to install Qt using offline installer as @SGaist suggested? So, what do you want to do now? It is much much easier to install prebuild Qt than to build it by yourself. I suggest you use offline or (better) online installer to install prebuild Qt.

                              Then lets go from scratch:

                              cd /somewhere_NOT_in_Qt_source
                              mkdir build_Qt
                              cd build_Qt
                              /path_to_Qt_sources/configure -nomake tests -nomake examples
                              

                              What do you get now ?

                                You cannot make a shadow build from a source tree containing a previous build.
                                Cannot proceed.

                                  I guess you kept the original archive, if so, just nuke the sources and extract them again. Then redo the procedure suggested above.

                                          Wait, are you building from a git clone or from the source archives ?
                                          Which version exactly are you trying to build ?
