Qt Creator 3.5.1 qmake errors with Qt 5.5.1
-
This is my first post on Qt Forums and I am not sure if this is the right place. Also, I am a IC design engineer and so software building is not quite my forte.
I am trying to compile qt-creator 3.5.1 with Qt 5.5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. I was able to compile and install Qt 5.5.1 successfully with the following switches on configure :
-qt-xcb -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebchannel -no-opengl -skip qtwayland
(note that most of these switches were added to eliminate compile errors)
However, when I try to run qmake -r to build qt creator 3.5.1 with this version of Qt 5.5.1, I get the following error during qmake -rReading <compile_dir>/src/libs/timeline/timeline.pro
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: quickQt 5.5.1 does not seem to contain the module quick. But then again I am not sure if I am reading the Makefile properly. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Since software building is not your main strength, why not use Qt's online installer rather than build everything yourself ?
AFAIR, you can still get the quick module through the installer for Qt 5.5
-
Then you might need to build the qtquick module before Qt Creator. Nothing complicated: just run qmake/make/make install. But be sure to use the qmake you get with the Qt you just built.

SGaist,
I did try your suggestion of installing from the online installer and everything installed fine with a few pre-installations required (details below) :It did require the installation of mesa-common-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev that were needed to prevent the following Qt build errors on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
<QtHome>/5.5/gcc_64/include/QtGui/qopengl.h:122: error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
include <GL/gl.h>Cannot link -lGL
Thanks

That one's a classic (and a question that regularly comes back)
