I have Ubuntu 13.04 on my PC and QT Creator

When I try to run c/c++ simple application I says that:

"QT Creator needs a compiler set up to build. Configure compiler in the kit options"

Then I go to the Tools->Options->Build&Run->Kits and I see that in Auto-detected there is "Desktop Qt 5.2.1 GCC 32bit (default)" but before it there is a ! and it says that "Error:no compiler set in kit"

I really can't get it. THere are a lot of tutorials, but nothig said about such a situation.

Thank you in advance!

Here are the steps you can follow after downloading the correct 32 or 64 bit package from the Qt download page.

Change permissions and install Qt.

chmod +x qt-linux-opensource-5.0.2-x86-offline.run
./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.2-x86-offline.run

Install build essentials

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Install OpenGL

sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev

Configure the compiler

Launch Qt Creator. Go to Tools > Options. Click Build & Run and select tab Kit. Configure a compiler if it is not automatically detected.

If you get any build isses related to linking in OpenGL (i.e. -lGL) then follow the answer below:

Qt: can't find -lGL error

  • Please refrain from link-only answers. This not a good way of writing answers. – László Papp Feb 24 '14 at 23:32
  • @LaszloPapp Thanks for the feedback I didn't know it was poor form on SO. I've updated my answer and cited the sources to avoid the link-only answer. – Matthew Feb 25 '14 at 00:01
