Hello.
I'm trying to set the qmake persistent properties which is also called environment variables in order to use the older version of qt in qt creator.
Here is the relevant packages I have:
- Qt Creator 2.4.1 (Based on Qt 4.8.0 (32 bit))
- Qt 3.4.8b
- Qt 4.8.1
By default, Qt Creator uses Qt 4.8.1, but I need to change this to the older version of Qt (3.4.8b).
So I go to "Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Qt Versions" tab, and added qmake that is linked to the qmake-qt3.
(My system, Ubuntu 12.04, uses update-alternatives to maintain different versions of packages. So qmake is linked to the qmake-qt3.)
Anyway, that causes an error such as "Could not determine the path to the binaries of the Qt installation, maybe the qmake path is wrong?".
I googled the error message and found that this is because my qmake does not have its environment variables.
When I typed the command, '$ qmake -query', the result shows nothing while '$ qmake-qt4 -query' shows the below:
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/usr
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/usr/share/qt4
QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/usr/share/qt4/doc
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/usr/include/qt4
QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/plugins
QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS:/usr/lib/qt4/imports
QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS:/usr/share/qt4/translations
QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION:/etc/xdg
QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/usr/lib/qt4/examples
QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/usr/lib/qt4/demos
QMAKE_MKSPECS:/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs
QMAKE_VERSION:2.01a
QT_VERSION:4.8.1
Based on this, I tried to set the variables using 'qmake -set' command.
But... I made some typo... and resulted in adding wrong vaiables. My qmake (= qmake-qt3) persistent properties have the variables the below:
QT_INSTALL:
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:
QT_NINSTALL_PREFIX:
I set the values as NULL using the command such as ' $ qmake -set QT_INSTALL "" '.
But I don't know how to remove those.
I tried to remove the package, qt3-dev-tools, from my system and install it agian, but it did not helped me.
I saw some postings about the qmake persistent properties, but I couldn't find any helpful articles till now.
So could anyone help me to remove these variables and start it over?
* Oh. I forgot telling that I installed my Qt3 and Qt4 via Ubuntu apt-get command.
