QML module not found (QtQuick and content)

FredJupiter

Hi Everyone,

I've successfully installed Qt version 6.4.2 on my Linux Kubuntu23 6.5.0-9-generic and compiled Qt Creator 13.0.0-beta1 (12.0.82). I've created a new Qt Quick Application which is currently empy expect the default generated files.

The Qt Creator is complaining about QML module not found (QtQuick and content)

I've searched around this forum but it looks like there is no solution for this issue. The path is correct as far as I can say....

What can I do?
Thanks Fred

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Based on the error message, you installed your distribution provided Qt. Did you install all the development packages ?

@SGaist Thanks! The development packages were missing, so I'm now one step further. I've still the issue with 'content', which is a folder from my test project....In App.qml of content subfolder is the import of the testApp is also failing. I've added the current project folder with QML_IMPORT_PATH to the project settings but without luck. What I'm missing here?

Based on what I have read recently, it's highly recommended to move to CMake for QML based projects. Qt 6 has brought new improvements and features that are not supported by qmake.

@SGaist I'm currently using CMake and only the generated CMake files by the QtCreator.

SGaist

Can you show the content of the CMakeLists.txt file you got ?

FredJupiter

@SGaist Sure

Is it a project generated by Qt Creator ?
