Configuration of CMake throws error "No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found" - CMake log inside

Ajorona

Hello All,

I am trying to configure Qt 5.7 on my PC running ubuntu 17.10 "artful". gcc and g++ are installed. when I run the "hello world" test application a CMake log is printed to console. I am not sure what steps I need to take or what information I need to provide in order to get Qt 5.7 to run successfully on my machine.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

How did you install the compilers ?
