Static Qt Error: Qt version is not properly installed, please run make install

Scarab

Hello,

I want to use a static compiled Qt 5.9.2 in Qt Creator 14.0.0. I compiled the static version on a virtual machine and want to use it now on a new PC with the newest Qt version installed. When I got to Kits -> Qt Versions and add the path to my static qmake.exe it says "Qt version is not properly installed, please run make install". 2024-10-15 15_18_28-Greenshot Editor.png

I think I used the same approach before with older QT Creator versions and it worked.
In the Qt versions tab I don't have additional settings or something I can configure. 2024-10-15 15_18_16-Installation and Deployment _ Qt Forum.png

I don't know how to "run make install", in terms of Qt on Windows I never had to use shell commands to get the static compiled version to work.

In an other thread on this topic the suggested answer was to "pass the relocatable flag to configure". I don't know how to do that either, there is no configure field in the Qt versions tab.

"configure" is the command you execute before you build Qt. You need to pass relocatable flag to configure before you actually build Qt.
