Qt 5.2.0: no qmake for LInux dev ?
-
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)
