    Getting Error : The errors we are encountering seem to be related to missing member variables and functions in the Ui::QPrintWidget and Ui::QPageSetupWidget classes, which are generated by Qt's User Interface Compiler (uic) based on .ui files. How to solve it ?

          Is there a reason why you're using this ancient Qt version?

              @Abhijeet-0 Error is very large. So shared screenshoot. Unable to copy and paste text error due to virtual machine limitation.

                    First of all: do NOT build inside source code folder!
                    Create a build folder, go to this folder and call configure from there.
                    If you then still get errors then post the FIRST error.

                    What you're doing has nothing to do with QtCreator.

                        @Abhijeet-0 So, you're still building inside the source folder? You really should not. Please start with a fresh source folder without any build artefacts and build in a build folder.
                        "Now Changed" - do you mean you changed the configure parameters? If so post the new configure call.

                              @jsulm , Unable to understand your suggestion. Sorry, for not getting you.

                              then how to do this ? Create a build folder, go to this folder and call configure from there. How to change configure command ?

                              odroid@odroid:~/installQt/qtbase-everywhere-src-5.12.8$ ./configure -opensource -confirm-license -prefix /usr/local/Qt-5.12.8-aarch-little-endian -no-pch -xplatform qws/linux-aarch-gnu-g++

                              If you build folder, how you write above commond ?
