    Hi,

    I use filesystem from stdlib without trouble. And without using QApplication in same file.

    I suspect that errormessage from first post depends on files included before "filesystem" (not mentioned in your post).

    The given line from error message looks like:

    namespace std _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY(default)
    

    So may be 'namespace' has been declared as a macro or that GLib-Token does not exists. I can't imagine of other errors.

    The include-file "std" (without extension) is a boost include file.

    so may be, something is mixed without intention?

    To reproduce the problem, two conditions must be meeted:

    • #include <filesystem> before #include <QApplication>
    • MyApp must inlcude Q_OBJECT

      You can keep asking questions and have others make guesses if you wish, but I have already given you the stackoverflow post which shows this error and indicates where the problem lies (i.e. in the toolchain).

      As it states there, the error comes from moc. And that is only invoked if you have a Q_OBJECT macro present. It also tells you the problem lies in cmake (which is what you are using), but not in qmake. Hence your findings.

      I'll leave you to it now.

        This is a bug in MOC: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-73263 what they suggest is to reorder the includes as you already figured out

          Hi, Here is something else: there is no <filesystem> file on my installation? How do I get this?

            @britsfp What compiler do you have?
            You need C++17 capable compiler and also C++17 needs to be activated in pro file when using g++/MinGW (CONFIG += c++17).

              @jsulm I am using Qt 6.2.1. In the Kits's Compile tab It has gcc 7 and gcc 10 for C programs.
              For C++ compiler it has g++ 7 and g++ 10

              I could always change the soft link in /usr/bin ??

                There is no need for such hacks.
                Simply define the compiler in your Kit in QtCreator.

                  Ok So must both C and C++ be version 10?, I supose so ? - and what is this #include <filesystem> error I get from the qfile.h header?

                    @britsfp C doesn't matter most of the time, unless you want to compile C code.
                    But usually should point to same compiler version.

                    "and what is this #include <filesystem> error I get from the qfile.h header?" - as I said already: you need a compiler which supports C++17 standard and you need to enable this standard in your pro file.

                      @britsfp g++ 7 does not support <filesystem>. If you can, set both C and C++ to 11 which supports C++20
