    I use Ubuntu 14.04 and IceWM (simplest window manager).
    I tried to run three different Qt5 applications (see below) - all running, no exit, no crash, but no windows appear. The last example (3) is my code: it prints the message in console, but no windows appear (i expect empty window of size 250x150).

    The list of what I tried to run:

    1. The "Qt Online Installer for Linux 64-bit (31 MB)" from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2
    2. qtcreator (installed by apt-get install qtcreator).
    3. My own code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <QApplication>
    #include <ctime> // kill
    #include "Controller.h" // kill
    #include "WindowMain.h" // kill
    
    int main (int argc, char **argv)
    {
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
    
        QWidget window;
    
        window.resize(250, 150);
        window.setWindowTitle("Simple example");
        window.show();
        std::cout << "exec...\n";
        return app.exec();
    }
    

    I build my application with my custom CMake script: https://github.com/pavelkolodin/audigger/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

    UPDATE:
    There is a bug in IceWM:

      You could try your simple example with the following qmake-script and see if you have the same problem:

      QT += core gui widgets
      TARGET = test
      TEMPLATE = app
      SOURCES += main.cpp
