have some real trouble with QtCreator on ubuntu 18 and was wondering if anyone could give me any help. This morning I installed cmake for another project I was working on, now when I try to run a project in qtcreator it is trying to deploy it via FTP, even though it is a Qt c++ project. I dont know if this is anything to do with cmake, but this worked last night before I installed it. My question is, can anybody explain to me how to run a project from QtCreator, on the local system( Terminal or otherwise, doesnt matter ) without any deployment issues. Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am extremely grateful for any hep
In a console, you can just cd into the project directory (where the .pro file resides) and execute "qmake" and then "make". That should compile your executable which you can then run using "./[executable filename]" or "/[path]/[executable filename]". Also, on the console you might see where this FTP transfer comes from. Also, in QtCreator you can set the build system and change that from cmake to something else to see if its a cmake problem.
So, not sure how this issue came up, but I have found a workaround after much trial and error. Open a project, In the left tab click Projects and under build and run select Run. In this menu deploy steps have already been added when i create a project, so these need to be deleted. Now in the Run section on the same screen Click add -> Custom executable and select the file that has already been built for the project in question. In my case this solves the above problem, but does not explain why QtCreator is trying to deploy C++ projects via FTP. If anyone out there is struggling with this issue feel free to post a question here and I will assist as much as possible!

I'm new to Qt, but have been working with Visual studio for C/C++ development for a few years. Now I'm trying to build a GUI for my project. I installed Qt 5.11.0 and the Qt VS Tools on both my work computer and home PC. At work I can build and run my project with the VS debugger, however on my home system I can build but can't run either with VS debugger or simply launching the app. I tried in release and it runs fine.
The error I'm getting is :
The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140D_APP.dll was not found.
I get 4 of these, the first two want VCRUNTIME, the second two want MSVCP140D_APP.dll.
Solutions I've tried so far :
Uninstalled Win SDK and reinstalled
Uninstalled VS2017 and SDK and reinstalled
Searched System32, SysWOW64 and VS install directories - found msvcp140d.dll and vcruntime140d.dll, but no _app.dlls
Does anyone know what these are included with and where to get them? I can't figure out why I have them on my work computer but not at home. I have the same VS updates, same Qt version, and SDK on both systems.
Using :
Visual Studio 2017 v15.7.1
Qt 5.11.0 - msvc2017_64
I suppose I can just copy the .dll's from my work pc and drop them in the appropriate locations on the other, but I'd like to know what they should have been installed with so I can have the same setup on both systems.
Edit:
I also tried changing the platform toolset to VS2015 with Qt versions msvc2015_64 and winrt_x64_msvc2015
I found this post concerning the same missing _app.dll files. There wasn't any answer there, which is why I tried reinstalling the SDK in the hope the missing files were included there.
Edit 2:
I just scanned my entire system at work and it turns out that I don't have the missing .dll there either. That tells me that there is a difference in the project properties or configuration between the two. I use git for source control, and I am currently the only contributor to this project. When I try to build and run just the example from the getting started guide I have the same problem at home with missing _app.dll files, however it works fine at work. I'm totally confused now, and any hints are greatly appreciated.
Solution:
After trying for a couple of hours making new solutions etc. I decided to delete the entire build folder and put fresh copies of all the dependencies into it. My project now runs fine in debugging mode.
I'm fairly certain that when I originally copied the Qt .dll files into it I must have grabbed them from one of the winrt folders rather than the msvc2017_64 folder. To test I replaced the working .dll files with those from the winrt_x64_msvc2017 folder and sure enough the same errors again. So, this was a dumb mistake on my part, but hopefully it'll save someone else a lot of hair-pulling in the future.
I installed several times the qt creator but it never cost me as much as in my current PC; First I used the installer that always had on my Pendrive (that of Qt 5.8), told me that I could not download some repositories, I downloaded version 5.9 of the same installer, with the same result. After trying to install it several times and it did not load I went to another house where I managed to install it, although I had to be very aware of many errors coming out of missing libraries (while installing Qt 5.9). After this I had to download the sp1 for my win7 OS through "windows updates" to run the Qt creator, but later, when loading, creating or running a project, I would say in console (it does not matter if it is GUI) the following : "Could not determine which" make "command to run. Check the" make "step in the build configuration." I would very much appreciate your help to anyone who wants to advise me, because I have already had many problems with my computer, from losing everything (the previous hard drive had installed original win10) to a series of very annoying setbacks like this. I cannot post images, I have no more than 10 reputations.

The problem is that the video you posted is for linux, but i thank you for your help. I need now more he
You have to set a valid compiler to build your project. As any compiler is not set, it is asking you to check the configuration.
For example in my PC, I get the following as compiler output:
11:13:33: Running steps for project ListViewExample...
11:13:33: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.
11:13:33: Starting: "C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\Tools\mingw48_32\bin\mingw32-make.exe"
C:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/Tools/mingw48_32/bin/mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug
Here you can observe that C:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/Tools/mingw48_32/bin/mingw32-make is the make compiler which builds the application.
You can set the compiler path here:
Tools > Options > Build & Run > Kits. Select the kit displayed and select a
valid compiler.
How to add mingw compiler at the time of installation
Reference Video for similar issue
You can try this youtube video link. Hope this solves your problem.
i spent a lot of time trying to get these to install properly, so here i am.
I've already googled my problem countless times in different forms and still can't resolve it.
It's just very confusing because there are so many versions out there, and i don't even know how to build the binaries, if even have to do that, and i couldn't find the configure.exe. I don't have it after i installed QT5.
I have python, perl, Visual Studio, QT5,QT addin, and openssl installed.
When going to QT5, QT Options, then Add, add: C:\Qt\5.2.1\mingw48_32 as the path and got an error about qmake not found or something.
So I deleted libqtmain.a and libqtmaind.a as suggested by some site and that solved the problem.
I've also tried this: http://blog.kikicode.com/2011/09/qt-version-uses-unsupported-makefile.html
but i couldn't find the Trolltech folder, so i stopped.
But now my problem is this
"This QT version uses an unsupported makefile generator (used: MINGW, supported: MSVN.NET, MSBUILD).
I don't even have a configure.exe file, and can't launch it from the visual studio command line.
I really have no idea what to do. I've been attacking this problem for all of yesterday, and i've ran out of steps today. Please help me.
I don't have the express version of VS. Just so you know.
I just solved this issue. It get me mad, but is easy.
The Add-in looks to $(QTDIR)\mkspecs\default to know which one to use. The "default" folder is not created after configure and build Qt.
So the way I solved is to copy&paste the "win32-msvc2013" folder as "default".
And now the Add-in recognised Qt.
BTW, after build the sources "nmake", I make an install of them in another folder so I have just the binaries and tools but not all the source that I don't need for develop software based on Qt.
Once the compilation is complete, then type:
Set the root where the installation will be, ex:
set INSTALL_ROOT=\Sw\Qt\qt-4.8.5-install
Execute in your source's root the command:
nmake install
So after trying everything i decided to run compile the binaries.
I think not a lot of people have this problem and there is no solution on the internet because the 2013 addin is very new. So here is what i did, and what worked for me, after countless hours of trying.
I downloaded the zip located under the main downloads on their webpage: http://qt-project.org/downloads
I uninstalled the old QT. (kept the addin)
I unzipped the zip it into a folder i named QT at C:\
Then i ran the configure.bat located inside.
On the Visual Studio cmd i cd to the C:\QT\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1
directory where the configure file is,
Tried running the 'configure' file, there was no configure.exe. Then i ran 'nmake', that took like three hours.
The i went into C:\QT\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1\qtbase\qmake
and made a folder bin where i copied the qmake.exe found in that same folder.
Finally i went into the VS addin, qt, qt options and i added that directory.
And it works!
I'm using Qt 5.6, msvc2014, but had the same issue at first. This issue was solved for me by updating to Add-in 1.2.5 without changing anything else.
[edit] Sorry, I out thought myself. I was using a .bat file to set environment variables that wasn't set up properly. When I went to a straight VS2005 command prompt, the configure ran fine. Sorry for the noise.[/edit]
I'm trying to compile qt-everywhere-opensource for embedded. I'm using MSVC2005. However, I guess I am confused on the process. I am getting compiler errors during the configure step. I thought the configure step was just trying to generate the needed makefiles, so I'm not sure what it is trying to compile.
I expected to modify the mkspec, but I'm not sure if during configure I should point to windows headers or sdk headers. I know during the build phase I should point to sdk headers, but I'm not getting that far.
I can change the errors by modifying INCPATH, there's also a QMAKE_INCDIR that seems to have an effect. It occurred to me that since I pulled the source, maybe configure needs to build the compiler tools, in which case I should point to MSVC headers. I also tried downloading the SDK and adding the path to it's bin folder to my path ahead of the -everywhere- source, but that didn't fix the problem and I don't want to jack up my system too much testing things.
Hope someone out there can help!
When you install Qt from source under Win32, you must:
Extend the PATH variable to include $(QTDIR)\bin, where $(QTDIR) is the directory where you installed Qt.
Open a Visual Studio command prompt in $(QTDIR); a plain old Windows command prompt won't do (unless you run vcvars.bat to load Visual Studio's environment variables; but opening a Visual Studio command prompt directly is better).
At this point, configure should run properly, after which you can run nmake.
I suggest that you clear your previous installation attempts from your system before you try these steps.
I have downloaded the latest Eclipse CDT release (Helios) and wanted to try my luck with some C++ programming (haven't done that in ages).
I tried to do the "Hello World" project, but I got stuck quite fast.
First thing - the #include <stdio.h> and #include <stdlib.h> got marked with an 'Unresolved Symbol' warning. So I found the place where I can add include paths and pointed it to these headers from the Visual Studio installation I have.
After that, it looked fine but:
I don't see compilation errors/warnings in the Problems tab.
I cannot run the code - I get 'Launch failed. Binary not found' error
My question is simple - what are the steps I really need to do to get my code compiled, linked and executed?
I tried looking for it on Eclipse's site, but didn't find any reference to that.
I'm making a guess here, that your are running on Windows, because that particular error seems to be a windows related one.
You seem to be missing the basic toolchain needed by the CDT to actually build the project. You need some files Before You Get Started. I suggest the mingw installer, as it is simple, and lets you actually build Windows compatible binaries.
Check out the link above, and then make sure your project links to the toolchain. Hope that helps.
A starting point could be:
File -> New -> c++ project
Type a name for the project, select Hello World c++ Project under Project Type and click Finish.
Right click on the project -> Run As -> Local C++ application (or just click the Run button on the toolbar).
I was getting the same error until I ran the "Build All" command. That command created two new folders, Debug and Release. Then when I clicked the "Debug" button, it asked me which one I wanted to run and I selected "Debug" and it ran perfectly.
It seems like the binary it couldn't find was created from the "Build All" command.
