PRO File Does Not Load Project into Qt Creator

It's a long file. Here is a link: link text
Here is about 1/3 of the file. So far as I can tell all the folders are in the directory at the same level as the PRO file.

I might have misunderstood your original issue.

Do you means that the files listed in the your .pro file are not shown ?

By the way, which Qt Creator version is that ?

dclark064

Sorry to reply so late. For some reason I am not being notified even though I have selected "Watching".

Qt Creator 14.0.1

Yes, when I double click the PRO file, it opens a project but none of the files listed open.
I want to build the project and experiment with changes in some of the files.

SGaist

Can you post a screenshot of what you have ?
I just tested it with a fairly complex project and the Projects view is showing things correctly.

dclark064

I am not sure what I did, but now when I open the project it does show all the files.
The problem now is that it generates a zillion errors when I try to Run.
Here is a screen shot that shows it cannot find QtWidgets. That may mean the install of Qt did not work. I just successfully ran the Qt Maintenance Tool, which indicates the installation was OK. Here is a screen shot of part of Qt Creator.

From the screenshot I see that qmake cannot find xmlpatterns. Make sure you have installed that module.

By the way, is there a readme stating how to build this project? Did you follow it?

dclark064

@aha_1980

There is no file on how to build the project.

I think the more fundamental problem is that the build cannot find lots of Qt components, for example QtWidgets. That seems to imply that there is a problem with the installation of Qt or there is a need to provide information about where Qt components are located. But I don't know. All I know is that when I look through the files there are lots of errors that say components can't be found. What I would like to find is some Qt documentation on how to take a Git repository and build the project.

Which version of Qt are you using ?
How did you install it ?
If Qt 6, then QtXmlPattern is not available anymore so you need to install Qt 5.
Which OS are you using ?

dclark064

@SGaist
Qt 6.7.2
Qt Creator 14.0.1
Build using the Qt installation https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-how-to-install.html
Updated installation using the Qt Maintenance Tool.
Win 10 x64

@dclark064 said in PRO File Does Not Load Project into Qt Creator:

Qt 6.7.2

Then you won't have luck with the app you're trying to compile as it needs Qt5 due to xmlpatterns
