Getting linker errors trying to build formerly working programs under 4.7.1

[MattPhillips]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile programs that compiled unproblematically under 4.7.0, and, I've run into a series of problems. First, I got this:


make: ~/bin/uic: Command not found
make: *** [.uic/release-shared/ui_gui.h] Error 127

I solved this by finding the uic executable and putting it in ~/bin. The same thing happened with moc and was resolved the same way. But now I'm getting this:

This seems like it's 4.7.1 clashing with my previous version (4.7.0) but I haven't been able to uninstall that--the Makefiles (for make uninstall) have disappeared from the directory somehow. But anyway, is version clash the issue here? Anybody know what's up with this?

you need to set QTDIR to where the root of your 4.7.1 installation is.

[MattPhillips]

Hi Wiseguy, that sounds very promising but how do I set QTDIR :o? I tried looking for this within Qt documentation, and editing /etc/profile as follows


PATH=$PATH:/home/matt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1
export PATH
QTPATH = /home/matt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1
export QTPATH

and restarting, but none of this helped.

Also tried running

$ env QTPATH=/home/matt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1 QTDIR=/home/matt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1 qtcreator

and defining QTDIR, QTPATH accordingly in the .pro file, neither of these did anything.

Could u paste linking error message after setting environment variable or u can check if enviornement variable is set properly by

echo $QTDIR

[MattPhillips]

Hi v.d.,

I don't get any error messages beyond what I showed already, even when defining QTDIR at the command prompt (so that echo $QTDIR returned the intended directory). After the other various attempts to set QTDIR described here, I would still get nothing for echo $QTDIR. Of course, I'm running qtcreator out of the <qt version 4.7.0>/bin directory, but that seems unavoidable; if I move it to <qt version 4.7.1>/bin, it won't open because it fails to find
libExtensionSystem.so.1. But anyway regardless of what directory it's in it seems like just setting QTDIR appropriately would be the better solution, but how to do this...

Your QTDIR should probably be like this:

QTDIR=/home/matt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1/qt
if you have a 'qt' folder under '/home/matt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1'
