@SGaist hi, can you please tell how to build qt 5.6 in 32 bit ubuntu 16.04.
I have tried to build it from source but my version is still showing 5.5.
Help will be appreciated.@nitish_linked Well, download the Qt 5.6 source code and build it. How do you know that your version is still 5.5? And how did you build it?

@jsulm Hi, thanks for replying.
My machine previously had Qt5.5, so i decided to upgrade it to Qt5.6.
For that, I followed the following steps :-
1.) Downloaded qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2
2.) ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
3.) make -j 4It will be great if you can guide me if i am doing some mistake.

Why are you using Qt 5.9.2 sources if you want to build Qt 5.6 ?
In any case, you should also add
-nomake examples. -

@nitish_linked You forgot to call "make install". And later if you call qmake use absolute path to it to make sure you call qmake from that Qt.

By calling only
qmakeyou are calling your distribution provided qmake, use the full path if you want to call a specific Qt version. -
@jsulm hi, i followed the steps told by you, and this time I also executed the command make install . But, when i perform qmake -v , it is still showing qt version 5.5.
Is there a problem of absolute path of qt ??@nitish_linked As @SGaist said use absolute path to your qmake. If you just call qmake the system looks in some predefined locations (like /usr/bin) and in directories PATH is showing to and finds qmake from your distribution.
