[SOLVED] qmake

[jboy012000]

Hi All,

Ok, I have been learning to use QT4 to design applications, now I need qmake to build the application I have designed.

I have been to the synaptic package manager and found qmake, I applied it as normal.

Then I run in command line

Sudo apt-get install qmake-dev-tools or something to that effect

It installed but I can't find qmake in my programming folder under applications.

Have I done something wrong, does anyone know were I can find qmake, or do I have to run it from command line.

Thanks all

John

Run it from a terminal/prompt and it should be in /usr/bin.


whereis qmake

I love unix commands "whereis" its just like asking your computer a simple question lol sorry its been a long day.

Ok so I now know the location of qmaKe, is qmake a command line application or a graphical application?

I only ask because when I double click on the executable file nothing happens, but when I type qmake in the command line I get a load of text telling me all about qmake and the options you have and different stuff.

Thanks for your last answer by the way spot on.

Thanks

John

It's a commandline just like make, gcc, whereis, etc.
