Qt cannot build and run "Boxes" example

I'm going to use Creator as editor. So, I'll choose VS2017 64 bit.

Now the problem is that I cannot uninstall QT. The Qt maintenance tool is not working. When I go to the Qt folder there are "MaintenanceTool.exe.new" and "MaintenanceTool.dat.new". Also, using Windows uninstallation is not working as it cannot find "MaintenanceTool.exe:.

How can I remove Qt?

I changed "MaintenanceTool.exe.new" to "MaintenanceTool.exe" and Windows uninstallation works.

Just another question: How can I install a debugger for Creator?

@Hassan-math said in Qt cannot build and run "Boxes" example:

: How can I install a debugger for Creator?

https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-engines.html

"To use the CDB debugger, you must install the Debugging tools for Windows. You can download them from Download and Install Debugging Tools for Windows as part of the Windows SDK."

I unistalled Qt completely and installed it again with "MVS2019 64 bit kit". When I wan to build "Boxes" I get this error:

:-1: error: Project ERROR: This example requires Qt to be configured with -opengl desktop

same as past.
Any idea?

What Qt version ?
5.15.x?

UPDATE: just tried the sample myself and
it says the same.
I already use openGl in my product/work so that is clearly wrong.

So its something else but good news as its not something local on your pc :)

I guess they changed something with OpenGL and forgot the examples

@mrjj
5.15.2.

So, it's Qt problem, not mine :)

@Hassan-math

Yes. It worked on none of the 3 windows pcs.
and its both visual stud and mingw

So it should work soon for you as soon as we find out what broke

Hi
Turns out they never updated the samples so it does not work with newer Qt compiled with
dynamic opengl.

@mrjj ,
Hi
Thank you for the update. I just want to ensure that I can use Qt OpenGL with

Qt += OpenGL

in the Creator. Does it work correctly in my Qt version?

mrjj

@Hassan-math

Yes, should be fine.
