I get the following error and Im unsure how to resolve the issue.
Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'clang++'. Output:
===================
Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?
23:34:44: The process "/home/jarel/Qt/5.12.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake" exited with code 3.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
What OS are you running ?
What compilers did you install ?
How did you configure Qt to use clang in place of gcc ?
-
Hello
Im running OpenSUSE Leap 15
for the last question, I hope ill answer it the correct way. Im not sure how I configured it. I just installed Qt creator and when I tried to create a new project, I seen the error message
-
Then you should check your Kit.
How did you install Qt ?
-
@jarelsanders1986 Is there a reason why you're using RC1 of the QtCreator?
Do you need Clang? If not you can use GCC which is default on Linux.
-
I had exactly the same issue on Ubuntu "18.04.2 LTS". I solved the problem by installing clang:
~$ sudo apt install clang
-
I had the exact the same project parsing error on Qt 5.12.3 and Kubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and solved it an easier way (since in the OP's case, he wouldn't need sudo rights for the symlink):
$ cd /home/jarel/Qt/5.12.1/Tools/QtCreator/libexec/qtcreator/clang/bin
$ ln -sf clang-7 clang++

@greensh Hi and welcome to devnet,
That's not a solution. Install the clang package but don't mix the tools used by creator with the one provided by your distribution.

From reading about the latest clang changes in QtCreator, see comments section at:
https://blog.qt.io/blog/2019/04/15/qt-creator-4-9-0-released/it's presumed the preferred Qt method is to use their integrated Clang version with QtCreator, rather than using a mismatched system version with QtCreator's Clang plugins. It's also presumed that QtCreator 4.9.0 should compile C++ code out-of-the-box on Ubuntu with only the system build-essential installed (which only includes the GCC toolchain).
Can you provide any Qt documentation to support this not being a solution or the Qt preferred way?
-
Qt Creator is an IDE, it doesn't provide compiler support. Providing compilers is the role of your OS.
The fact that the clang executable can be found in Qt Creator is an implementation detail because Qt Creator uses clang infrastructure for some of it plugins.
Do not presume things like that. If there was any recommendation to use the clang version Qt Creator uses internally, that would be documented.
