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.

Hi,
Might be a silly question but do you have any Qt version installed ?
Also, did you install Xcode and the command line tools ? -
I have the Qt folder in my users folder how can I verify I used the Qt installer to install everything. I do have Xcode installed

@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:

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 Did you use Qt Online Installer?

@Qreator35 Did you use Qt Online Installer?
-
@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 ?
-
Qt 5.10.1?!

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:
