Install Qt 5 on Ubuntu

Introduction

This is a tutorial for installation of Qt 5.7.0 to Ubuntu 12.10. It may be used also for newer versions of Qt and Ubuntu. A difference for OpenGL has been found and added as a note below.

Installation Guide

• Download

Visit Qt downloads page andownload a 32-bit or 64-bit Linux installationdepending your version of Ubuntu. The installation file can be also downloaded through the command line using wget.

Example:

wget http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.7/5.7.0/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.0.run

• Install

Adjust permission,run the installer and follow the instruction to complete the installation.

chmod +x qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.0.run ./qt5.7.0.run

• Install g++

Open a terminal and execute the following command to install g++:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

• Install generic font configuration library - runtime

Open a terminal and execute the following command to install the full runtime files for the generic font configuration library:

-get install libfontconfig1

• Configure a compiler

LaunchQt Creator. Go toTools > Options. ClickBuild & Runand select tabKit. Configure a compiler if it is not automatically detected.

• Install OpenGL libraries

Execute the following command to install OpenGL libraries:

-get install mesa-common-dev

Note: Just installing the above-mentioned mesa-common-dev kit is not sufficient for more recent Ubuntu versions. Based on a comment in the Qt forum^[1]an additional package needs installation. Execute following command:

-get install libglu1-mesa-dev -y

Tested with Qt5.3.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 and it solved the problem with missing -lGL.

• Set file association with pro files

When installing from the on-line source the file association is not done automatically. It also not show up when you try to associate it with file explorer. Create a file named “Qt-Creator.desktop” and fill the file with the following.

[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=QtCreator Comment=QtCreator NoDsiplay=true Exec=(Install folder of QT)/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator %f Icon/5.4/Src/qtdoc/doc/images/landing/icon_QtCreator_78x78px.png Name[en_US]=Qt-Creator

Place this file in home .local/share/applications .

Edit a file named “defaults.list” in the same directory . Add the following line.

text/qtcreator-Creator.desktop;

open file mimeapps.list and check if the following line is present.

application/vnd.nokia.qt.qmakeprofile=qtcreator.desktop

if not add it under [added Associations].

Run the following command.

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Now Qt has been added to the list of file associations.

Troubleshooting

• Qt Creator needs a compiler set up to build

Follow the instruction from the prevIoUs section to configure compiler for Qt Creator.

• error: g++: Command not found

Solution:

error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory

-dev
