QTCreator for QT 5.12 LTS?

Amin Ji

hello there,
I've installed qt 5.12 LTS on raspberry pi 3 using this tutorial :
http://www.tal.org/tutorials/building-qt-512-raspberry-pi

after installing I found out there's no qtcreator installed with the package I've installed. how can I install a qtcreator which uses qt5.12 capabilities? I had qt 5.4 but I had some problems with it, then decided to install qt 5.12. so I need the new version of qtcreator to work with qt5.12 LTS.
regards.

I found out that I should install qtcreator separately. I downloaded its source from qt.io and tried to compile it. at first I had to qmake -r the qtcreator source folder and it was done with no error, but when makeing it I faced the following errors:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:128: recipe for target '../../../../../../bin/qbs' failed
make[3]: *** [../../../../../../bin/qbs] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/Applications/qt-creator-opensource-src-4.8.1/src/shared/qbs/src/app/qbs'
Makefile:50: recipe for target 'sub-qbs-make_first' failed
make[2]: *** [sub-qbs-make_first] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/Applications/qt-creator-opensource-src-4.8.1/src/shared/qbs/src/app'

Makefile:45: recipe for target 'sub-src-make_first-ordered' failed
make: *** [sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 2

what is the reason?

Hi,

You're not showing the full error.

On a side note, if you don't plan to use QBS, you can delete the related folder and not built its support.

@Amin-Ji You need to create a new Kit in your QtCreator where you select your compiled Qt 5.12, that's all.

@SGaist thanks for the respond,
Actually I copied all the error lines of the terminal. I prefer to use QBS, but if I can pass the error by deleting it, I'll do it. Since I'm newbie, would you tell me how to do it (deleting related folder) please? where is the folder located? am I supposed to add any parameters to the "make" command?
regards.

@jsulm How can I create a new Kit when I'm still trying to install Qt Creator?! :)

jsulm

@Amin-Ji Sorry, I never used QBS, so can't help with that.
Regarding QtCreator: you need to install it first :-)

Amin Ji

@jsulm the matter is that I face lots of errors when installing qtcreator, and as I mentioned in the topic description, I asked for help to install QTCreator.
thanks.

@Amin-Ji Isn't there a QtCreator package available on your RaspberryPi (I guess you're using Raspbian?)?
You could simply install that one.
You can use any Qt version with QtCreator.

@Amin-Ji

sudo apt-get install qtcreator

after installation you may(or may not ) need to make a 5.12 kit.
