How to "import a project " from github ?

[Anonymous_Banned275]

Until I get answer for my "search " post I am posting this- it is a dupe, I have asked this before .....

Can somebody point out my error and SOLUTION.
I select example project which leads me to "github" .

I pull the "git " link and after "download" always end up with (dev) - definitely not a " project" .

I do not know how to "compile" git hub files and want "precomplied" PROJECT. Am I using wrong github link? But it comes from "examples" ...

Sorry but I didn't follow the previous threads. Could you run us through exactly what you are doing?

I select example project

From where?

which leads me to "github"

This is the most popular software collaboration website

I pull the "git " link

"Pull" is a technical term in Git but it doesn't make sense in this context (if you don't have an existing local repo). Can you explain exactly what you are doing?

always end up with (dev)

That's the name of the branch, doesn't have any particular implication

definitely not a " project"

Again, without knowing where you are downloading it from it's difficult to understand what's wrong

@VRonin

Step 1
Idetify github link and copy it

STEP 2
Run Git clone

STEP 3
Success - click "Finish"

RESULT
...qtconnectivity[dev]... now what ?

This is not a project, I did something wrong....

[VRonin]

It is a project but it's a CMake project. You can open it with Qt Creator if you have CMake installed and configured.

In any case this is not an example this is the code that produces the QtConnectivity module (the libraries that go into the bin folder of Qt).

After STEP 2, you can go into /mnt/CAT_PROJECT/TEST_SUBPROJECT/SUBPROJECT/qtconnectivity/examples here you can find the project file with all the examples (examples.pro) or you can go into the subdirectories and find the particular example project files that you want (bluetooth/bluetooth.pro or nfc/nfc.pro)

I am adding this as FYI .

Apparently even if I wanted to "compile" I have some conflicts with Qt (whatever name ) version .

I need to go back to git to find why it is looking for 6.2 version.
BTW AFTER I did "manage kits" it looks as I could really compile the "stuff" from "github". Perhaps it is a time to learn that...
#endif

Too good to be true...
For other reasons I had to "reboot" and now cannot duplicate running CMake ....
