QT5 and QT6 projects issues with QWidget and QMainWindow

Fikrat

@jsulm I installed qt5 on directory as the following: /opt/Qt

Accordingly, I opened new widget and I controlled CMakeLists.txt which looks like as shown in the image! Qt Cmake.png

As you can see, project and its files are highlighed as the white blank as well as include packages in the source files, provided compilation error.

jsulm

@Fikrat So, did you run CMake?

Fikrat

Dear @jsulm, when I actually build it, but it provided tons of compilation errors as following

@Fikrat said in QT5 and QT6 projects issues with QWidget and QMainWindow:

compilation errors

It looks rather like errors from code modelling.
Did you actually try to build?

Fikrat

Dear @jsulm, I tried to build, though, did not provide any successful build operation. This is very strange. I am completely stacked.

@Fikrat show output:
which qmake

Are you using qtcreator?

@Fikrat
Show the Build Output errors. The only one that matters is the first one where it can't find <QObject>.

I need to install qt5 on ubuntu 20.04, not on ubuntu 18.04

You realize that Ubuntu release supplies a pre-built package for Qt5? But not sure why you want both Qt5 & Qt6. Plus Qt5 was designed for qmake rather than cmake.

JoeCFD

@JonB I do not see any problem to use cmake for Qt5. I Have both cmake and qmake for Qt5. I guess cmake is preferred for Qt6. But I still test some Qt6 cases with qmake.

Christian Ehrlicher

When QtCreator shows files grayed out then the cmake/qmake configure run did not work out and the error was written to the configure output panel - look at it, fix the errors and run again. QtCreator will not do any code model things when the project is not configured correctly.

@JoeCFD
I meant for example all the sample code etc. I have seen out there for Qt5 is for qmake and .pro files. And the OP seems to be getting into some difficulty. But you know more than I in this area.
