Qt Gui for multimedia with qt5 not recognizing the multimedia library
-
Hello,
I am new in using qt for gui, I am trying to creat a project that shows a video in the main page, i followed the tutorial in http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/multimedia-videowidget.html
I got the following error:

Hi and welcome to devnet,
You're following a Qt 4 tutorial using Qt 5. You should rather follow the latest documentation.
QWidget and friends have moved to their own module name widgets and the include path would be QtWidgets/QWidget. Anyway better just use
@#include <QWidget>@
You should also add
@QT += widgets@
to your pro file

Actually it doesn't link the widgets library, not multimedia, QWidget is in widgets module in Qt5, so you'll need to add:
@QT += widgets@
in your .pro file, run qmake and then rebuild.LE: too late, there was a feature that warns you when you post and someone already posted on that topic, that doesn't work anymore or i don't remember correctly?
Anyway, in Qt5 there is a "MultimediaWidgets":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimediawidgets-index.html module that already has a "video-widget":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qvideowidget.html.

@zlatomir and @SGaist Thank you both. I tryed but I got errors and as I mentioned am a biggener where I dont really understand the errors. Therefore, I created new project with the latest documentation for qt5 from the following link: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimediawidgets-videowidget-example.html
and I got the following error:
16:45:03: Running steps for project videowidget...

Since it looks like you are using your distribution's Qt, did you check that you have all Qt 5 dev packages installed ?
