Where is the Qt Maintenance Tool?
I've installed QtCreator in Kubuntu 15.10 through apt-get and it say my computer doesn't have the required Qt Kit and can be installed through Qt Maintenance Tool.
But I don't think I have Qt Maintenance Tool in my start menu and didn't found it in Synaptic.
Install Qt development packages qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev
through apt-get
.
I found the maintenance tool binary for my installation at /opt/Qt5.7.0/MaintenanceTool
on Ubuntu 14.04.
I found it by using the locate
tool:
sudo apt-get install mlocate
sudo updatedb
locate -i maintenance | grep -i qt
Anyways, using the maintenance tool with the apt
provided package was a rabbit hole with other problems. I ended up installing a fresh version of QtCreator from the universal linux binary install provided at qt.io installing into $HOME/Qt
. Uses of that maintenance tool actually do work and I can upgrade Qt Versions easily.
Just add a Kit of your own choice in:
Tools > Options > Build & Run > Kits > (press) Add (button on the right side) > (give the Unnamed kit a name, or not, your choice) > Apply | OK
Note: The default kit, which comes pre-installed didn't work for me. So I recreated one.
You can select compiler kits, tools, platform, version of qt and anything else for your kit if you need to.
