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

[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:

@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.

[JoeCFD]

@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?

[JonB]

@Mlibu
Does

sudo apt install qtdeclarative5-dev

help?

[Mlibu]

@JonB Yes, now there is no more error and it builds but the design page doesn't activate at all, even if I open the qml file.

[JonB]

@Mlibu
Like I said, I have never used or installed QML. But if you keep your Ubuntu in this state I will just install that qtdeclarative5-dev tomorrow and see where I find myself :)

[Ronel_qtmaster]

@Mlibu you only need to activate the plugin by checking it and click on okay.You do not need to click on install since the online installation comes with qtdesign studio and the plugin.So no need to click on install just enable it and restard Qt

[Mlibu]

@JonB So a question... I found this posted on the qt creator 6 release:

https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-creator-6-released

"The integrated Qt Quick Designer is now disabled by default. Qt Creator will open .ui.qml files in Qt Design Studio. This is a step towards a more integrated workflow between Qt Design Studio and Qt Creator (video). Qt Quick Designer is still there, you can manually enable it again by checking the QmlDesigner plugin in Help > About Plugins."

Yet when I try to activate the plugin, there isn't one to activate.

So if this was underway in qt creator 6, is it going to do anything different than qt design studio does anyway? Is this even supposed to work in qt creator 12?

I watched some videos on qt design studio and they seemed to be more geared towards creating components than creating a full application. Also a lot of the functionality to migrate from photoshop is commercial and that won't be avilable.
