Creator error but command line works.

oldbrad

I have the following issues:
/home/brad/Qt/6.11.1/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qglobal.h:14: error: 'type_traits' file not found

Although when I make on the command line the project builds fine.
$ brad@Inspiron-5567:~/Qt/projects/test-qt/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1_Debug$ /home/brad/Qt/6.11.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake ../../test-qt.pro
brad@Inspiron-5567:~/Qt/projects/test-qt/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1_Debug
$ make
$ ls -l test-qy
-rwxrwxr-x 1 brad brad 32336 Jul 19 19:37 test-qt

Which runs fine. I think some subtle configuration is missing, but I can't see it. Please help

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you already your kit configuration in Qt Creator ?

oldbrad

I do not understand your question. Did I already ?

@oldbrad I think @SGaist meant check. Preferences > Kits and there you have several settings for compiler, Qt version etc.

I did something, not exactly sure what, which has FIXED the problem.. I think two things:
1st Disabled package manager installed qmake
2nd Did Re-detect compilers

Magically the actual change is in the generated Makefile. CC form clang to gcc and CXX from clang++ to g++

The moral of this tail is you can NOT install over a Linux package manager installation.

Thanks for the help.

Glad you found a solution but the rule is: you shall not install a custom build of a library, whether Qt or another one, over a distribution provided one. You could break your system doing that.

However, nothing should prevent them from being properly co-located and used independently by your application.
