[SOLVED] Compilation problems in environment with Qt 4.8 and 5.1

tiredtyrant

Hello, I need some help figuring out what is going on here.

I'm on Ubuntu 12. I've installed Qt 5.1 and Qt 4.8 on my system (in this order). For both, I used the downloads from Qt's website instead of searching the software center. After installing Qt 4.8, I had to manually add the 4.8 version and kit to Qt Creator. By the way, I'm using the Qt Creator that came with the Qt 5.1 installation, since the Qt 4.8 install didn't come with Qt Creator.

I tried compiling a 4.8 project, and for some reason it gave me errors related to libQt5Core:

Somehow the build process is looking for Qt 5.1 stuff. I have no idea why. Could it be an environment variable that was set when installing Qt 5.1 that I don't know of? What is the problem?

Hi,

Are you sure your project is using the right kit ?

tiredtyrant

Thanks for the quick reply!

I think I am... I had to add the kit manually though, after installing 4.8. All I did was add Qt 4.8 as a version manually and create a new kit using this version. Is that enough?

Here's a screenshot of the kit I'm using to compile the project:

Those are general Qt Creator settings. You need to modify settings for your specific project: click on "Project" button on the left-side pane in Qt Creator while your project is open.

The 'Qt 4.8.5' kit I created is the one I'm using to compile this project.

This is an excerpt of the Makefile generated by qmake for this project:

You can see I'm using the correct kit.

Try:

Build -> Clean Project "XYZ"

Build -> Run qmake

Build -> Build Project "XYZ"

tiredtyrant

Thanks for replying JKSH,

I did that a few times already, and it has not changed the result. I'm completely out of ideas...

tiredtyrant

I figured it out... turns out I was trying to link to a library that was compiled with Qt 5.1.

How do you fix that?

SGaist

He probably rebuild the library using Qt5 and linked to that one.
