No such file or directory #include <QtWidgets>

[tymop]

Hello,
I am a beginner with qt, and I just download and install the last vesion of qt with this link "qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.5.0-2-online.run":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/online_installers/qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.5.0-2-online.run

Then, I tried some examples to understand how qt works, but i have the save error with each examle I tried. This is an example
@/opt/qt/5.2.1/gcc_64/examples/widgets/tutorials/addressbook/part1/addressbook.cpp:41: erreur : QtWidgets: No such file or directory
#include <QtWidgets>@

always the same error : @erreur : QtWidgets: No such file or directory #include <QtWidgets>@

Is there anything especial to do to work with the examples ?

what is the problem ?

Thank a lot for your help.

Hi, and welcome to DevNet,
You should only add QT += widgets in your .pro file and not include QtWidgets

[nandhu_kp]

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

use this in your .pro file

[tymop]

I tried your 2 solutions, but i still have a problem:
A lot of functions are not declared.
This is the example I tested: childwidget (with the modifications you gave me)

childwidget.pro:
@greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

SOURCES = main.cpp

install

target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/widgets/tutorials/widgets/childwidget
INSTALLS += target
@

main.cpp
@//! [main program]
//#include <QtWidgets>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QWidget window;
window.resize(320, 240);
window.setWindowTitle(QApplication::translate("childwidget", "Child widget"));
window.show();

//! [create, position and show]
QPushButton *button = new QPushButton(
QApplication::translate("childwidget", "Press me"), &window);
button->move(100, 100);
button->show();
//! [create, position and show]
return app.exec();
}
//! [main program]
@

And this is an extract of the errors (only the 2 first) i have when i compile:

@/opt/qt/5.2.1/gcc_64/examples/widgets/tutorials/widgets/childwidget/main.cpp:46: erreur : 'QApplication' was not declared in this scope
QApplication app(argc, argv);
^
/opt/qt/5.2.1/gcc_64/examples/widgets/tutorials/widgets/childwidget/main.cpp:46: erreur : expected ';' before 'app'
QApplication app(argc, argv);
^

you have to include the Qt classes you need, for a simple program like this you can include the whole module but I would not recommend that because it will drastically increase compile time.
@
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
@
essentially you have to include all Qt classes like this, if you want to do it right. :)

if you are lazy or have a super fast computer you can include whole Qt modules at once with
@
#include <QtCore>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtWidgets>
...
@
i would only use that if you need many classes from one module.

Thank you,
with your help, I managed to run the example.

I find it unfortunate that the examples do not work as they are.
That make the learning more difficult.

[clochydd]

Usually, the examples work as they are.
I have opened your examples/widgets/tutorials/addressbook/part1 with the Qt Creator, built it and had no errors.
How did you work with the example?

[tymop]

That is strange, because, as I said, I just install qtcreator with the script qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.5.0-2-online.run, in the /opt directory/

Then, I open it and tried some examples, and I have the same problem eact time.

[Xander84]

Do you open the examples from Qt creator directly? (Welcome -> examples)
they should work out of the box.

And is there a reason you use and old version of Qt? I mean that is like 2 years old or something. :)

[tymop]

Do you open the examples from Qt creator directly? No : I opened with open file or project

And is there a reason you use and old version of Qt? I used the version found on the site web qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.5.0-2-online.run

I tried another version comming from the ubuntu deposite(Qt Creator 3.0.1) , but there was another problem because the binary /usr/bin/qmlpuppet was not installed (because not in the ubuntu deposite), and I did not find he way to install it.

[Xander84]

I have Qt 5.2.1 running on my Ubuntu machine, using the online installer (qt-linux-opensource-1.5.0-x64-online.run in my case), worked like a charm so I don't know what you did. You have so weird bugs, I have no idea why, sorry.

[clochydd]

I think we should try to find out, what happend to your install.
If you look at your Creator's About screen, do you see this:
Qt Creator 3.1.0 (opensource)
Based on Qt 5.2.1 (GCC 4.6.1, 64 bit)
Try to compare your Creator settings with "this: ":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.1/creator-configuring.html

[tymop]

Thank form your help.
This is the version installed
@Qt Creator 3.0.1
Based on Qt 5.2.1 (GCC 4.8.2, 64 bit)
Built on Apr 9 2014 at 09:12:59
@

And the version from the .run
@Qt Creator 3.1.0 (opensource)
Basé sur Qt 5.2.1 (GCC 4.6.1, 64 bit)
Compilé le Apr 14 2014 à 15:03:42
Depuis la révision 52592aa879@

But it is strange because, now, the qtcreator installed from the unbuntu deposites is now working. Maybe the .run install added the missing files ?

[clochydd]

As the Qt Creator 3.1.0 is the newest version it would be better to use it instead of 3.0.1 - but if you succeed with 3.0.1 you shouldn't have problems.
Perhaps you may give 5.3.0 a try when it's released in a few days.
