Qt6 Android CMake project fails at start: Failed to find Qt component "Core" config file at ""

Jhorns2

Are you developing on a Linux VM? After some troubleshooting I found I had to install OpenGL.

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

I found my problem by doing the following.

To troubleshoot this, you can do the following. Go to directory with your CMakeLists.txt for your project. Open a shell there.

Set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to wherever you installed Qt (your path will be different and you are using android)
Here's what mine looked like:
export $CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/dev/Qt/6.0.0/gcc_64

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

My output is:

@Jhorns2

Are you developing on a Linux VM?

No, I am on Windows.

After it deleted my Qt6 android kits(as I mentioned in my Update), I reinstalled the Kits and it works now. There is no problem with finding components. I don't know what caused the error.

But I also noticed other small problem like: Creating Template Android project, creates the project(android folder), but is not displaying it in project structure in QtCreator even that I have this line in CMakeLists.txt:

set(ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android")

and it displays error Could not update the project file "C:\Users\user\QtProjects\qttutorials\Test\."

But its ok, this problem is not related to the posted Question.

Jhorns2

Sounds like you have it sorted. Good luck.

I had this issue with Qt6.2.2 on Fedora 35 in a VM... I had to install the GL libraries but it seemed that mesa wasn't right. What worked for me is:

sudo dnf install libglvnd-devel

PS: Sorry for the the necropost... but this was the closest thread to my issue and the GL dev library hint was what helped me.

I have the issue described by jhorns above and am running Ubuntu 20.04.
I installed the 2 packages: libgl1-mesa-dev, libglvnd-devel
I still get similar OpenGL errors in the CMake phase.

Can you post those?

Think is late but I had the same error with Ubuntu 22.04 and Clion, so to fix this i installed libgl1-mesa-dev and libglvnd-dev libraries, then Clion will ask for 'Qt CMake prefix path', and you need to choose the directory where the files are stored, in my case was:
/y/y/y/Qt/6.3.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake

Now, it works. Hope it helps.

@Jhorns2 I met the similar problem in Kubuntu 22.04. So I ran the command you provided, and it solved my problem. Thanks!

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

"sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev" also worked for me with the error "failed to find required Qt component 'Gui' "
(Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)

I just had this problem, and installing libglvnd-devel solved the problem.

sudo dnf install libglvnd-devel
