Qt5 on Ubuntu 16.04

Mikki

I have installed Qt following this

https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu

But with
qmake --version

qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

ANy ideas how to solve this?

I guess you installed it in your Home Directory as User and not as root. maybe you need only to link the qmake command from your qt folder in your home directory to your system. Mostly /usr/local/bin is the right Path. Use ln to link it.

Rememeber, you didnt have install it. You only created a qt folder in your home directory with all the Libraries

Did they take QT5 out of the repository or something in Ubuntu 16.04?

@Mikki Do you really need to build Qt? You can just use the online-installer.

You can use the QT selector, do:

export QT_SELECT=qt5

then you can check it is selected with:

qtchooser -print-env

or simply:

qmake -v

@Mikki Just use the whole path to qmake.
But I'm curios: why not use the Qt online installer to install Qt?
There is usually no need to build Qt by yourself.
