I'm back with a GPU.. Qt Creator still not working

[Mlibu]

Ok so none of the packages on any other OS are even guaranteed to be working? Wow.

I'll try it on Windows 10 again then. I googled many times on "requirements for Qt creator". I guess I should have searched on "requirements for qt6".

I didn't want to do it on my mac because that requires all kinds of xcode library stuff and then it always breaks every time you have to upgrade xcode.

[Ronel_qtmaster]

@Mlibu yes exactly.okay if you try on windows 10 and face issues let me know.I also did my installation on windows 10

[Mlibu]

@Ronel_qtmaster Thanks, this is very helpful. Though I am not enthusiastic about any of those OSes. Maybe I will just make a small partition for it. Reboot is quick now with SSDs anyway. I did try on windows 10 but it may have been pre-1809. I didn't think this would depend on a certain version of windows.

[Ronel_qtmaster]

@Mlibu yes you can make a partition just for windows.Anyway just try let's see

[JoeCFD]

@Mlibu I am using Qt 5.15.3/6.6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 daily at work. I have Ubuntu 23.04 at home. No issues.

[Mlibu]

@Ronel_qtmaster So I went to my windows 10 disk and updated it fully. I am now at version 22H2.

I downloaded the unified installer, selected the Windows Development Environment box and installed it. When I create a project I cannot go to the design page until I install the Qt Quick designer plugin. When I do install the plugin and go to the design page I drag a rectangle onto the page and select red background and it crashes seconds later.

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD Let me try ubuntu 22.04 with qt5.

[Ronel_qtmaster]

@Mlibu okay.Here in my version 6.6 when i go to the design tab, they tell me that no qt Design studio found.So it seems to use qt design studio for designing qml files.
Then i go to help, plugins and enable qmldesigner by clicking on the checkbox and after on ok.Don't click on install anyway

they will ask you to restart qt do it

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD as far as I can tell, this is how to install qtcreator with qt5 on ubuntu 22.04:

sudo apt install -y qtcreator qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake cmake

But I get the following errors:

[Mlibu]

@Ronel_qtmaster That sounds familiar, but I installed Design Studio with my windows install and it still has a problem.

[Mlibu]

@Ronel_qtmaster But I think you need the plugin for it to interface with design studio. And anyway I was told that it is different than design studio. Regardless, on updated windows 10 I can only get to the page if I install the plugin and it still doesn't work.

@Mlibu said in I'm back with a GPU.. Qt Creator still not working:

packages

not sure what you did. The errors are not Qt related.

Try the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt --fix-broken install

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD I installed Ubuntu 22.04 fresh and then upgraded through the software store and immediately did the apt-get command I pasted.

[JoeCFD]

@Mlibu you need to install all build tools like g++, gcc and ...

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD Are the dependencies listed somewhere then?

[JoeCFD]

@Mlibu you can not rely on that.

sudo apt install build-essential g++ gcc

maybe more: cmake, git, meld etc.

default login is wayland. I guess you know how to switch to Xorg.

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD Yeah I have tried both wayland and x11 in Manjaro.

[JoeCFD]

@Mlibu create a shell script to collect all needed libs and packages and run it every time you install a new Linux.

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD So there is no document on which libraries are needed?

Also I did the Ubuntu install but now I'm getting:

:-1: error: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: quick

But this is my only qml file:

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15

Window {
width: 640
height: 480
visible: true
title: qsTr("Hello World")
}

Everything I can think of is installed. g++ and cmake are there.

I listed all the packages beginning with qt5 and there doesn't seem like anything else that would provide QML.

[Mlibu]

@JoeCFD But you can't tell me what is needed.. So how do I know what to put in the script?
