    @Qreator35

    Where did you install your Qt version to? and what version did you install?

      @Qreator35 you're missing a Qt version, that install folder should have a folder containing only numbers, representing the installed Qt Version, if installed via the installer/maintenaince tool:

        I ended up installing qt 5.10.1 this fixed the issue. However im not sure why the qt installer didn't automatically install a Qt Version. Is there a step during the installation process that I may have missed. It seems as if by default the QT installer installs QT 6.

          @Qreator35

          Qt 5.10.1?!
          Why even that?!
          Even the latest Qt 5 release 5.15 is EOL and 10.1 is way older and has more unfixed bugs.

          The software from the linked GitHub repo is 7+ years old. It was built using 5.10.1 but it doesn't mean you also need the same version almost a decade later.

            @Pl45m4 you’re right I should update to at least 5.15. But again I don’t understand why the installer didn’t automatically install qt6. This made me use a separate installer to install QT5.

                  @Qreator35 This is strange. The online installer by default suggests Qt6, to install Qt5 you have to enable the Archive option.

                    Also, which version of the installer are you using ?

                        Ive tried installing QT5.15.2 and QT 5.10.1. I don't have any issue opening my project with 5.10.1 however with 5.15.2 I get an error stating :-1: error: Project ERROR: failed to parse default search paths from compiler output.

                          Also on QT 5.10.1 I can open the project but can not run. Ive read the following documentation but

                          Ive read this documentation but the my SUBDIRS seems to be correct https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-variable-reference.html#subdirs

                          The project that I am running is a Demo from the QT Company located here:
