      @Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Also if you changed Qt version you should delete the build directory, run qmake again and then build.

        @jsulm No. When I hit the build button, I get this

        MAKEFILE_GENERATOR variable not set as a result of parsing : DatabaseTutorial.pro. Possibly qmake was not able to find files included using "include(..)" - enable qmake debugging to investigate more.

          @Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury This is not the same as "QMainWindow not found". Something is wrong with your .pro file or Kit (you still not checked it as I suggested). Is it possible to upload your project to somewhere and post link here, so I can download it and check?

                  @Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Does your .pro file really contain comments without # character at the beginning? It should be like this:

                  TARGET = DatabaseTutorial
                  TEMPLATE = app
                  #The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
                  

                  Regarding yellow warnings: keep mouse cursor over the Kit - you will see then what the problem is.

                      @Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Remove all the comments or comment them out

                      DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS can be removed as well.
                      Add \ after SOURCES += main.cpp
                      Run qmake again and build.

                              @Hasibul-Hasan-Chowdhury Please upload the pro file to somewhere and post a link here. Then I can check.
                              And please check what is wrong with your "Desktop Qt 5.8.0 MinGW 32bit" Kit.
