Qmake not included on Opensource 4.12.4?

Neodreadlord

Hi all,

I am new to QT Creator and I'm trying to do my final project for college which is a python app.
I've found that when I try to run the app, it's not loading images. After much reading of the forums I found I needed to update the .pro file with the res.qrc file details in order to do this.

however, when I went to find the .pro file, it didn't exist. Again, much reading later and I found that this is the file that Qmake needs in order to build the application, so I assumed that maybe I have to build the application instead of just run it. However, when I went to go and build it, all of the build options were grayed out. I then decided to go looking for qmake.exe directly and found it didn't exist. I looked for an add on or plugin for Qt Creator that might contain it and couldn't find anything.

I then tried re-installing the application a number of times, using the different on and off line installers and no change. There is no qmake included.

Interestingly when I go into build kits I find that the QT Version is blank. When I tried to point it to the installation of QT it says it needs to restart to link it and then when I get back in, there is no change.

Is this a known issue? is there a way around this?

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi
What platform are you on and what binding did you use ?

Did you follow the guides for your platform ?

HI MrJJ

I didn't follow the guides. I was unaware of those, I will try this for my platform and update afterwards.

I am on Windows 10,
I have Python 3.8.3 installed and used the most upto date version on the qt.io page which was 4.12.4

I'll give the guide a go now and see if this resolves my issue. Thanks for the link

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Looks like you only installed Qt Creator. Is that the case ?

Hi Sgaist and thank you,

I am thinking that is the case though now I have followed the instructions and installed qt and still don't have qmake so I am now going through it step by step to ensure I have done everything correctly. If I cannot resolve it, I will remove everything and start from scratch but it seems to be that qmake just isn't there when I install it. I will update here as I go.

Thanks
