Linking fails on Ubuntu Karmic

[kevinchannon]

Hi,

I've been using Qt Creator on Ubuntu for about a year or so now. I previously had a laptop with Ubuntu Hardy on it, where Qt Creator worked perfectly. I recently upgraded my laptop, installed Ubuntu Karmic and then Qt Creator (1.3.1, built on 18th Jan. 2010 from revision 8de178a067).

On this set-up am unable to successfully produce an executable The process gets through compilation, but then fails to actually find any of the Qt libraries. The output is:

Running build steps for project ivcc...
Configuration unchanged, skipping QMake step.

The full output is interpreted as containing 16 images (??!?) by the forum, so I attached it to the post. So, it looks like it's not finding the actual libraries (which I have installed, QTDIR = /usr/share/qt4). Anyway, I'm stuck. Any suggestions or similar experiences would be really helpful, I really want to get it working again!

Cheers.

OK, fixed it. The problem was between my chair and the keyboard. I had the line

QT -= core gui

QT -= core gui

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in the .pro file! Making a console application, so should have just had

QT -= gui

QT -= gui

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

D'oh!

Thanks anyway
