Question

I have installed C++SDK that have Qt but when I try compiling a code linking QApplication it gives me the error:

Error QApplication: no such file or directory
         


        

Answer 1

Looks like you don't have the development libraries installed. Install them using:

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

As you said int the comments that you have them installed, just re-install it. Now. to update the locate's database, issue this command $sudo updatedb

Then $locate QApplication to check that you now have the header file installed.

Now, goto the the folder where you have the code & type these commands

qmake -project
qmake
make

Then you can find the binary created.

Alternatively, you can use Qt Creator if you want the GUI.
