Ubuntu QChartView

? Offline

Hello everyone, hope all is well. Currently, I am trying to run Qt from the terminal in Ubuntu but am running into issues. I tried to run my Qt app from the terminal, but it gave me a "QChartView" not found error. This is my first time using Qt with Ubuntu, so I think I made some installation mistakes.

Here is what I have done so far:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install qtcreator

sudo apt-get install qt5-default

sudo apt-get install qt5-doc

sudo apt-get install qt5-doc-html qtbase5-doc-html

sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples

In the end, what do I need to do to ensure that QChartView (and other libraries) is found?

Thank you in advance!

Did you rebuild your app after installing these packages? Does your application work when running it in QtCreator? What is the exact error(s) you are getting?

sudo apt install libqt5charts5-dev

@mchinand So my application does not work on Qt Creator in Linux, but it does on Windows/Mac. Not sure what you mean by rebuild my app, but if you mean in Qt Creator, I tried to but it fails when you try to run it.

For whatever reason, the exact app (which works fine on Windows) is not even building in Linux. I assume this has to be an installation issue, not something to do with my code (unless Linux does stuff differently). Once again, thank you for your help.

Hi,

You should follow @JoeCFD advice. You did not install all the required dev packages on your system.

@SGaist Sorry, my non-response to @JoeCFD made it seem like I didn't do that. My apologies for that. Now, although I am not getting the "not found" error, the app will not build. I will post a new post to the forum in a little while, as it is an entirely different issue now. Thank you all for your help.
