    That looks good.

    What do you get if you just call "qmake project.pro" without any other parameters ?

      @SGaist The terminal doesn't display any message.
      The Makefile generated is the same.

        @SGaist By running the command

        qmake -v
        

        I get this

        QMake version 3.1
        Using Qt version 5.12.8 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
        

        @Christian-Ehrlicher By running the command

        qmake -d <foo>
        

        I get this

        bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

        You did not really put 'qmake -d <foo>' into your command line and wondered that it did not work? Do you???

          @Christian-Ehrlicher I don't know what you mean but I tried

          qmake -d
          

          and I got a lot of lines starting with DEBUG 1

            @jsulm Hi

            I've just checked with

            sudo dpkg --list
            

            and it is installed.

            I've also found the directory with the Qt Headers QApplication, QObject, etc...

            Make sure the development packages are installed, that is qtbase5-dev and qtbase5-dev-tools.

                      @Johnnyk91 said in QMake doesn't work properly:

                      Ah, sorry... I just noticed that you do have qtbase5-dev and qtbase5-dev-tools installed. OK, you already have the development packages.

                      Next thing to try: Install Qt Creator and see if you can use it to build an application.

                        I've managed to fix it.

                        I set the variable CONFIG to debug in my project file and I think that's why the modules weren't added.
                        I took this line off and I was able to compile and run my program.

                        Thank you for trying to help me

                          If you did something like

                          CONFIG = debug
                          

                          You, in fact, nuked the content of the variable and replaced it with debug.

                          If you want to modify the content of such a variable, use either += or *=. The first to add a value and the second to add the value only if not already in the variable.
