How do select / identify the installed QTCreator executable on Linux?
-
The offline installer asked for new directory to install new QT versions.
Now I have at least TWO QTCreator executable on my Linux system partition, BUT only ONE
QT icon to start the application. .
There are no "properties" associated with the icon.I usually start QT using "Linux " file manager" - that also does not visibly identifies which QT installation is going to be used.
I can identify that when my project is being "build" - little too late.Linux will always execute the LAST QT installed , how ?
How do I select / identify the installed QTCreator executable on Linux PRIOR to executing ?I would like to delete the older QT installation and do not want to break / upset Linux or delete something common to all
QT installations.Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

from command line: which qtcreator
then qtcreator -version
you will know which version is used and where it is located.@JoeCFD Here is what I get
q6@q6-desktop:~$ which qtcreator
/usr/bin/qtcreator
q6@q6-desktop:~$ gtcreator -version
Command 'gtcreator' not found, did you mean:
command 'qtcreator' from deb qtcreator (6.0.2-2build1)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>I have installed QT using offline installer.
Would
sudo apt install <deb name>install from Ubuntu repository ?
Do I really want to do that ?
Add running "qtcreator" give this result
q6@q6-desktop:~$ qtcreator

Command 'gtcreator' not found, did you mean:Read what you typed and then you might understand the response you received.
There is already a qtcreator in the default location under /usr/bin, probably installed from the Ubuntu repo.
There will be another wherever you told the offline installer to put it (IIRC it defaults to under ~/Qt). If you cannot remember where that is then trylocate qtcreator -
from command line: which qtcreator
then qtcreator -version
you will know which version is used and where it is located.response
q6@q6-desktop:~$ which qtcreator

EmacsKeys 6.0.2 The main idea behind this plugin is to provide additional actions a typical emacs user would expect. It doesn't claim to provide full emacs emulation. The following actions are available:- Movement [C-f, C-b, C-n, C-p, M-f, M-b, C-a, C-e, M-<, M->]
- Mark-based selection [C-SPC, C-x C-x]
- Cut/copy/yank (doesn't provide kill ring feature) [M-w, C-w, C-y]
- Kill actions, which interact properly with clipboard [C-k, M-d, C-d]
- Scrolling (half of the screen, keeps cursor visible) [C-v, M-v]
- Insert new line and indent [C-j]
IMPORTANT: Actions are not bound to any key combinations by default. You can find them under 'EmacsKeys' section in keyboard shortcuts settings.
Also it's worth mentioning that EmacsKeys plugin forces disabling of menu mnemonics by calling Qt's qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic function with false argument. Many of the english menu mnemonics get into the way of typical emacs keys, this includes: Alt+F (File), Alt+B (Build), Alt+W (Window). It's a temporary solution, it remains until there is a better one.

UPDATE
I have successfully compiled / linked / run my application.
I HAVE NO CLUE HOW "IT GOT FIXED "
At this point I don't really care why I was getting all those errors.
I am using Qt 6.5.0 and did not change anything - with the exception of removing the links to libraries in Linux package.
This final output indicates that QT creator runs from
