Only kit Qt5.5.1 found with QtCreator
-
Yes, 5.15.7 makes more sense. I guess default Qt version is Qt5. type
which qmake and
qmake --version
you will be able to see it.
use qtchooser to set qt to qt6. I posted messages about this before. Check it out from my messages.
Then qtcreator will be able to find it.https://forum.qt.io/topic/141071/qt-designer-6-on-ubuntu-22-04-jammy/8

@JoeCFD Apparently, qtchooser is dead upstream (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtchooser/+bug/1964763 #5), and it can't be found any more on Tumbleweed repos....

@Jogchum then purge qt5 from your machine. Install Qt6 under /opt/Qt and set the path in the shell.
@JoeCFD I'mnot sure if purging at5 from my system is a good idea: there are lots of dependencies on parts of qt5, without a qt6 counterpart.
I'm still puzzled by why ctcreator only sees a qt5 environment, a too old one even. It should be possible to convince qtcreator from the existence of the qt6 environment, shouldn't it?
Question is, how... -

@Jogchum try
export QT6DIR="/opt/Qt/6.4.1"
if you installed qt6 by default. Otherwise, use your own path. -
@JoeCFD I think /usr/include/qt6/ would be the path to export in my case. In /opt there is nothing. opensuse doesn't use /opt.
So I ran
export QTDIR=/usr/include/qt6/; qtcreator-> didn't change a thing....

I just tested it and it does not work. But I add it manually on Options->Kits->Qt Versions and click Add button to add qmake of qt6 with path. This is Ubuntu. Then switch to Kits tab and add DesktopQt6(or any name you like) manually. Click it and add Qt6 to it by selecting Qt Version to Qt6.4.1.
This is kind of messy and there may be a better way to do it. But it works. I just tested a small example and qt6 libs are linked to the executable. The example runs well.
Kit Qt6 not found with QtCreator because qmake of Qt6 is not defined in the PATH since qmake of Qt5 is the default one in the PATH

@JoeCFD My setup is slightly different it seems, I see no Options choice anywhere. But, in he Kit Selection dialogue box, if I hover with the mouse beside the "Qt 5.5.1 (System)"messages, a new button Manage pops up. Then comes a dialogue box, with, among others, a "Qt Versions" tab. In that tab, one can add (in my case) /usr/bin/qmake6), which then recognizes the correct Qt version (6.4.1 i my case).
It gives the option "Link with Qt", but that doesn'work in my case.
However, I can go further now.
The 5.5.1 maybe comes from one of the files in/under ~/.config/QtProject/, where I see various occurences of that version number.So something is not yet right here, but anyway, I can move on.
Thanks for your help! -

Thanks for your help!@Jogchum One step is missing in your settings. You have added to Qt 6.4.1. But no Qt6 kit is set.
Switch to Kits tab and press Add Button to add DesktopQt6(or any name you like) manually. Click it and add Qt6 to it by selecting Qt Version to Qt6.4.1.
Then use DesktopQt6 to build your projects. That is Qt6.
