Hi Josh, Try taking out all those environment variables, QTDIR, QMAKESPEC, eg remove them from your bashrc and login again.
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/install-x11.html - use something more sensible than /tmp if you like. (Compare with old-school 2.x and 3.x Qt where QTDIR etc was used). This will put an install of qt in /usr/local/Trolltech/<ver> or something similar As a previous poster said qt encodes details of where it was built into the binaries. You should not need QTDIR etc. Specifically it uses rpath which is supported by gcc on current linux distros, as well as using paths stored in QtCore*.so (which you can retrieve via QLibraryInfo::location()) and qmake - try "strings path/to/bin/qmake | grep qt_" to see what I mean. You can use -prefix on the configure line for qt to install it somewhere else. If you try to *mv* it somewhere else it won't work. If you're working with multiple qt installs, or even if you have linux with qt installs from the distro don't rely on setting PATH - have a policy of always specifying the full path to qmake. qmake will create makefiles that use the correct moc and so on. /usr/local/Trolltech/*/bin/qmake qtcreator.pro && make If you want to make a qt version for your colleagues something like -prefix /opt/Qt/4.6, and then make sure when they install it that it goes into the same path - eg tar it up from / and then instruct them to untar it from / If you still have problems check that your untar'ed source tree is not sitting inside another source tree, or any other degenerate layout. If you're working with multiple source trees, keep them all the same level. Linux distro versions of qt and stuff in ~/.qt or ~/.config should not cause any problems if you avoid using QTDIR and specify the full path to qmake.

I set the QTDIR env var to point to my Qt install location and am using its qmake. It seems to be trying to include\build things that do not exist in my QTDIR (ie. as part of the Qt install). Qt Creator should build fine with the things in an installed Qt. What is it trying to use that doesn't exist? ++ Eike It gets to a point where it build moc from the original qt source dir (which no longer exists) and decides to start using the path to qmake from my original Qt build directory: Snipped (and annotated by me) from my qtcreator build output: (cd /sandbox/qt-creator/targetfs-root/targetfs-base/src/tools/moc && make) make[5]: Entering directory `/sandbox/qt4.6/src/tools/moc' # <---- wrong! src/tools/moc wasn't in my Qt install, just the original Qt sources.

This qmake path refers to the original Qt source dir.

Note that I have set QTDIR, QMAKESPEC in the build environment. I'm also specifying the Qt prefix in qt.conf and setting the correct paths for QMAKE, QMAKE_INCDIR_QT, QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT in qmake.conf. Anyways, I'm reviewing my Qt install (again) to be sure I did things correctly. Thanks for any suggestions. Josh <ATT00001..txt>
