New to QtCreator Error "no rule to make target 'all'. Stop."

[IsaacPrkr]

@jsulm I've installed qt5-qmake. And how do I go check whether I have a properly configured kit?

[jsulm]

@IsaacPrkr In QtCreator go to "Tools/Options.../Kits" and check whether there is at least one Kit

[IsaacPrkr]

@jsulm There is only options that say Auto-detected and Manual.

But are there any Kits, either in manual or auto detected section?
If there are no Kits then that explains your problem. In this case add a Kit manually - first add your Qt in "Qt Versions" tab (you ) and then a Kit.

@jsulm When you say "add your qt in qt versions tab (you)" i went in the tab and clicked add and it just came up with my files. Do I add the project file into that?

No, this has nothing to do with any projects!
This is used to manage different Qt versions in QtCreator, as QtCreator can support many Qt versions.

"and it just came up with my files" - I don't know what this means. To add a Qt version you need to navigate to the folder containing qmake of that Qt version (in your case /usr/bin) and select qmake.

See:

• https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html

@jsulm It just opens the file explorer in the downloads tab. There is no /usr/bin for me anywhere I can find.

@jsulm I've got it working thank you so much
