I created Qt project in MS Visual Studio 2010, I am trying to port

  • 0

I created Qt project in MS Visual Studio 2010, I am trying to port it to linux OS.
I got Linux, on which Qt 4.6.3 is installed (came with distribution package).

I need to generate the Makefile for my project (project_name.pro),
so I try qmake -project and get command not found

As I got Qt installed (executing qtconfig in terminal allows me to know qt version) it quite unevidient & strange for me why having Qt I can’t use it’s utility qmake?

Could you please offer me some solution of this issue?

    What distro is that? Probably qmake is in separate package, e.g. in Debian it’s qt4-qmake package, also look for some qt-devel, qt4-devel or similar.

    pwadas@vao:~$ which qmake
/usr/bin/qmake
pwadas@vao:~$ ls -al /usr/bin/qmake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 mar 26  2012 /usr/bin/qmake -> /etc/alternatives/qmake
pwadas@vao:~$ update-alternatives --list qmake
/usr/bin/qmake-qt3
/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
pwadas@vao:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/qmake-qt4
qt4-qmake: /usr/bin/qmake-qt4
pwadas@vao:~$
