Visual Studio to Qt creator conversion

pavel213

We have a GUI that is built using visual studio 2015 and Qt 5.9.9. This GUI is developed in Windows 10. Now we want to compile and run this GUI in Linux/Ubuntu. Is there any work around for this. Any help would be appreciated.

What work around do you mean? Qt is portable and available for Linux.
What build system do you use? If it is qmake or CMake then simply install Qt on Linux and build your project.

Thanks for reply.
GUI is build in Visual studio using Qt tools. It is not built in Qt creator. Its a visual studio solution having .sln extension.
I want to build and run this GUI in Linux for Linux users.

never used VS with Qt, but you shouldn't need any sln files for it to compile.

YOu didn't answer @jsulm question, what build system did you use ?
cmake ?

copy the cmake file as well as all referenced hpp and cpp files to the linux system and build it there

@pavel213 In this case you need to generate pro file for qmake, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56275229/generating-qt-pro-files-from-sln-file
You can also switch to CMake instead as it is more future prove and is also supported by Visual Studio.

I am using MSBuild build system.

@pavel213 As I wrote: you need to port either to QMake or CMake.
