Qt 5.2.0: no qmake for LInux dev ?
-
I just downloaded 'qt-linux-opensource-1.5.0-x86-online.run' onto Debian 3.2.51 32-bit on a PC, and installed it.
This is labelled on the Download page as 'Qt Online Installer for Linux 32-bit'.
Now I can't find a normal 'qmake'. I also see that there is a lot of Android-related stuff installed, and a qmake
which seems clearly intended for Android development. Am I missing something ? I just want to do normal
Qt development on Debian.
Thanks,

Hi and welcome to devnet,
What do you mean you can't find a normal qmake ? On your system ? What version of Qt did you choose when running the installer ?
-
If I type 'qmake' in the terminal window its says 'command not found'.
If I search I find '/opt/Qt/5.2.0/android_armv5/bin/qmake' which gives Android-related warnings when I try it.
On the installer window I selected 'Qt 5.2.0' and 'Tools'.
Would I have got a different result if I had selected 'Qt 5.0.2' or '5.1.0' ?
Obvs I could read the release notes, but some quick guidance would help !

That's normal, the installer won't alter your system settings, so you have to use the full path to qmake if you want to use it or update your .profile/.bashrc to add your newly installed qmake path to PATH.
What did you exactly select before installing ?
-
I selected 'Qt 5.2.0' and 'Tools' from the options in the Installer.
I'm still surprised at the fact that 'qmake' gives Android-related warning
messages. It certainly seems that I've got a Qt development system
oriented to Android cross-development, rather than development for
my Debian system. Viz the location of the 'qmake' that I am running, which
seems to be the only one installed. -
What does "find /path_to_Qt_install_folder -name qmake" return ?
-
"path_to_Qt_install_folder" means: replace this text by the path to your actual Qt install folder
-
I thought it might !
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/android_x86/bin/qmake
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/android_armv7/bin/qmake
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/gcc/bin/qmake
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/gcc/doc/qmake
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/gcc/examples/qmake
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/android_armv5/bin/qmake
/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/plaincppapp/qmake
/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/plaincapp/qmake -
/opt/Qt/5.2.0/gcc/bin/qmake is the one to use for host development
-
If you are using Qt Creator it should already been configured, if not, just add that version of Qt in the preferences and make a Kit with it.
If you want to run it from the command line, I would recommend using the full path, so you're always sure of which version of qmake you are using (you could also have the system qt dev tools installed)
