Bug#685526: Error: Qt version is not properly installed

To be honest, I have no clue on its actual usage and compatibility with Qt so I can't really comment on this. > build-essential is for building Debian packages, not Qt (eg. > dpkg-dev is not needed by Qt). I only mentioned build-essential because qt-sdk (which is the highest-level meta-package in the lot) does depend on it : $ apt-cache depends qt-sdk qt-sdk Depends: build-essential I can see your point though. I'm no packager so I can't tell why qt-sdk depends on build-essential rather than individual packages (excluding dpkg-dev which is not needed as you pointed it out). Maybe there could also be some enhancement to be made there? > if you wish to develop applications with Qt (a quite complex c++ > toolkit), I hope you can figure out that you need a c++ compiler! Couldn't agree more. ;) However, some users expect that installing qtcreator will give them a fully functioning environment, and won't install qt-sdk because they don't even know about it. To be frank, the reason why I bumped this bug is because the issue arose on a French Debian forum, and I couldn't immediately figure out the cause of the problem because, like you, I assumed that a C++ compiler would be installed. As the affected user put it: "how strange is it that eg. gnome-core recommends brasero while qtcreator won't work out of the box?" To me this situation seemed to be against the Debian spirit to do the right thing from the start, hence my initial proposal to put the whole qt-sdk as a Recommends for qtcreator. But again I'm no packager, just another Debian user so I lack some important insight for sure. > the g++ reference may as well be moved from Suggests to Recommends. Since g++ is sufficient for QtCreator to be able to recognize the Qt libraries, this looks like a winner to me. cmake is not installed by qtcreator either, but this is only for non-Qt projects so I guess it's not very relevant as far as qtcreator is concerned. Again, thanks for your involvement in making Debian even better. :) -- syam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

How about LLVM? build-essential is for building Debian packages, not Qt (eg. dpkg-dev is not needed by Qt). The rationale of not putting g++ into Recommends or Depends for Qt Creator was quite simple - if you wish to develop applications with Qt (a quite complex c++ toolkit), I hope you can figure out that you need a c++ compiler! Saying that, since qtcreator Recommends qt4-dev-tools, which recommend libqt4-dev which in turn is compiled with g++, the g++ reference may as well be moved from Suggests to Recommends. - Adam -- Adam Majer ad...@zombino.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#685526: Error: Qt version is not properly installed
Hi Qt/KDE team,
I confirm this problem.
Indeed QtCreator doesn't seem do be able to find the Qt libraries unless
g++ is also installed (which stands to reason when you think about it).
But the surprising part is that g++ is not installed along QtCreator by
default.
What's more, the error message one gets when g++ is missing ("No valid
Qt version found. Please add a Qt version in Tools > Options > Build &
Run") and the subsequent error message ("Qt version is not properly
installed, please run make install" as the previous poster pointed it
out) are hardly any help.
The correct way to install a full working Qt development environment
seems to be through the qt-sdk package (which depends amongst other
things on qtcreator and build-essential, thus g++).
I believe this problem could be solved by adding either g++,
build-essentials or qt-sdk to the Recommends list of the qtcreator package.
Users who have not modified their APT::Install-Recommends configuration
would then get it by default.
Just having g++ in the Suggests list as it is currently looks a bit
useless to me, with respect to the intended goal of the whole QtCreator
environment.
In my humble opinion it would make sense to go with the full blown
Recommends:qt-sdk dependency because QtCreator really is a Qt
development environment at its core, so why not just drag in the full Qt
SDK?
Users who want to use this IDE for other purposes could just ignore the
Recommends section.
Thanks for your attention.
