qmake

cuit100 · 03-13-2018, 03:18 AM

On Fedora

I already installed these

Code:

dnf install qt-devel qt-config
dnf install mingw32-qt-qmake.x86_64 mingw64-qt-qmake.x86_64
dnf install mingw32-qt5-qmake.x86_64 mingw64-qt5-qmake.x86_64

but system or building package cant locate qmake

when run these i get

Code:

which qmake
which: no qmake in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)

Code:

qmake -v
qmake: command not found

Executing below command finds qmake

Code:

cd /; find -iname qmake
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/bin/qt5/qmake
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/qt5/qmake
/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/qmake
/usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake

So as it can be seen qmake already installed so now how to get system or building package recognize.

I also followed tutorial here Qt 5.5but same issue

You've got qmake for QT4 already installed and you've installed mingw32-qt5-qmake.x86_64 mingw64-qt5-qmake.x86_64 - which is for QT5.

It's not finding it because if you look at your $PATH, there is no /usr/lib/qt4/bin/ folder in it. That's why it cannot find the qmake you do have installed.

Yeah i know its not in the usual directory thats why i asked how to make system recognize.

dnf is auto installing in mentioned directory so thats what i asked in question how to link qmake to default directory or respective building package to look in directories installed.

Well, if you know that, why not add it to your $PATH ?

Or create a symlink in one of the 'bin' folders?

You also need qmake for QT5, if you're trying to build a QT5 app. Try that first, if you're building a QT5 app.

also unless you are building for a MICROSOFT windows os you do not need the MinGW files

these make Windows *.exe programs and Microsoft *.dll libraries

also it might be a very good idea and to BACK UP a few steps

what is it you need to do ?
what do you need to build ?
and for what version of QT ?
-- qt4 or 5 ?

i was creating symlink but was still not working but later figured out just needed to rename file to qmake.

i didnt knew that fact about mingw.

Anyways i am trying to build qbittorrent 4.0.4 which require qmake>=5.5.1.
Problem now is dnf qt4 package install qmake v3.0 and dnf qt5 install qmake v3.1. Even installed latest qt5 v5.10 that also has qmake v3.1 only.
Now i m wondering from where will i get qmake v5.5.1 when the latest qt5 has qmake v3.1 only or if qbittorrent made mistake in package.
