I updated an Ubuntu 12.04 machine to 14.04.

The 12.04 install just had qt4, and had

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/designer

The 14.04 install has qt5, but I cannot get a

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/designer executable installed.

I have libqt5designer5 and libqt5designercomponents5 installed, and I get the libs but not the application.

I also have a bunch of qtquick packages installed.

How should I proceed?


Solution 1:

sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools

solved the problem.

The designer is included in the package "qttools5-dev-tools".

[$ nbviewer]$ apt-file search /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/designer 
qttools5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/designer

Solution 2:

In the library packed are no binaries for the designer application.

Install the designer with

sudo apt-get install qtcreator
