Error while building/deploying - when executing 'qmake'

[LiDe]

Hi
I am extremely new to this and need to use QT creator for studies.
So, your kindest patience would be greatly appreciated :)

I have installed qt-opensrouce-windows-x86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.0 and when trying to run the sample project "Hello", I get the following error:

15:58:08: Running steps for project Hello...
15:58:08: Could not start process "C:\Qt\Qt5.3.0\5.3\mingw482_32\bin\qmake.exe" C:\Qt\Hello\Hello.pro -r -spec win32-g++ "CONFIG+=debug"
Error while building/deploying project Hello (kit: Desktop Qt 5.3.0 MinGW 32bit)
When executing step 'qmake'
15:58:08: Elapsed time: 00:00.

I'm running on Windows 10.

Thanks!

Why? that version is 4.5 years old. Use the latest one and make sure you have the corresponding version of the compiler (MinGW?) installed

@VRonin This was the version given by the University as part of the study pack. Which version do you recommend?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Use the current version: Qt 5.12.1

Thank you! I've got it working on 5.12.1.
