    There is no runnable binary, for what I can see. Or I don't know the name... There are many modules here.

    @UltraBurstXD The offline installer is just one file. But offline installers are not available anymore for open source users (without commercial license). So, what exactly did you download?

        @UltraBurstXD As I said: offline installer is just one file. Make it executable (chmod u+x OFFLINE_INSTALLER_FILE) and execute it. No need to build anything.

          @jsulm I don't know name of offline installer... It's my first time using qt... perhaps should I specify qt modules path to qt creator? And configure the environment variables?

            @UltraBurstXD Lets do one step after another: you downloaded the offline installer, is that correct? Like http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.10.run

              Yes, I did and extracted the files to home. As seen:Screenshot from 2020-12-15 10-16-28.png

              The archive name is qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.tar.xz

                @UltraBurstXD You did NOT download the offline installer, you downloaded the source code. Can you please post the exact file name you downloaded?

                  It turns out I downloaded Qt 5.15.x Source Packages... My internet data plan... And it can't configure because of OpenGL.

                    @UltraBurstXD Didn't you want to install Qt using offline installer as @SGaist suggested? So, what do you want to do now? It is much much easier to install prebuild Qt than to build it by yourself. I suggest you use offline or (better) online installer to install prebuild Qt.

                      Then lets go from scratch:

                      cd /somewhere_NOT_in_Qt_source
                      mkdir build_Qt
                      cd build_Qt
                      /path_to_Qt_sources/configure -nomake tests -nomake examples
                      

                      What do you get now ?

                        You cannot make a shadow build from a source tree containing a previous build.
                        Cannot proceed.

                          I guess you kept the original archive, if so, just nuke the sources and extract them again. Then redo the procedure suggested above.

                                That one?

                                  Wait, are you building from a git clone or from the source archives ?
                                  Which version exactly are you trying to build ?

                                    macOS and Linux source archives. The version is 5.15.2 LTS. I'm trying to follow the instruction above.

                                          It doesn't accept any 'configure' options... Tried nearly all, the only it accepts is '-help' so far...
