New install, error with "qmake".

@bogwon C++ compiler is not the same as C compiler. GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a collection of different compilers, one of them is C++, it is called g++.
Regarding the error: install mesa-common-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev packages

@jsulm C & c++ compilers are different animals now, but I am pretty sure that not too long ago there was one compiler that did both. Albeit, 'not too long ago' might mean ten or 20 years.

I got a blog post out of this, if you are curious.

HI
Did you install the Qt visual 2015 packet ?

Also, did you go download the actual visual studio compiler from microsoft site ?

It must match. Qt version and Visual studio version

So it wont work if u installed say vs 2013 or vs 2017

Hi
Not sure what that is.
Make sure you check on C++ in VS installer. Its not on pr default.
Also no debugger pr default . must also be installed.
the b4 bit version
and make sure the Qt version macth your compiler.
https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2015_64-5.8.0.exe

If all fails and you really just wanted to use Qt and not have to use Visual Studio
then try
https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.8.0.exe
It has compiler and debugger with :)
