Path error for qmake - Qt version invalid

P_Kausthubh_S · 27 Jan 2019, 10:56

I was trying to open a new UE4 project with qt creator and it gives me the following error when I run build :

:-1: error: The Qt version is invalid: Could not determine the path to the binaries of the Qt installation, maybe the qmake path is wrong?

Can someone please help me fix this?

on which platform are you?

How did you install Qt and Creator?

Which Qt version do you have?

Regards

I'm running fedora 29. I installed qt creator using dnf.

@aha_1980 what do you think might be causing it?
Thanks for looking into the issue.

@P_Kausthubh_S
Did you also installed the Qt versions with dnf ?
Maybe they are installed in an unexpected places for
Creator to detect.

what do you have listed in
Tools->options->kits

Ah. There seems to be something off here. @aha_1980

hi
Yes it seems so.
Just to be very clear, besides installing QtCreator,
which is JUST the editor, you
also did install Qt5 ( multiple files it seems with dnf )

QtCreator alone do not come with any Qt version.

Maybe its easier to try to online installer than dnf ?

@mrjj thanks for the link. I'll try installing it by following the instructions in there and return here if the problem still persists.

@P_Kausthubh_S
Try with
sudo dnf list qt5*
and see what there.
Im wondering if there is not a meta packed that install all of Qt ?
