Taking wrong version of qt

[bagage]

When compiling with ./autogen.sh && make, it fails to compile because of:

./ui_mainwindow.h: In member function ‘void Ui_MainWindow::setupUi(QMainWindow*)’:
./ui_mainwindow.h:114:20: error: ‘class QTableView’ has no member named ‘setSizeAdjustPolicy’; did you mean ‘setSizePolicy’?
         tableView->setSizeAdjustPolicy(QAbstractScrollArea::AdjustToContents);
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                    setSizePolicy
./ui_mainwindow.h:114:61: error: ‘AdjustToContents’ is not a member of ‘QAbstractScrollArea’
         tableView->setSizeAdjustPolicy(QAbstractScrollArea::AdjustToContents);

However I believe it's because it tries to use qt4 compiler instead of qt5. It should not use qt4 compiler at any moment I guess.

Hey thanks for reaching out!

What distribution/version are you using and what are the outputs of qmake --version and g++ --version?

[bagage]

I'm using debian buster:

$ qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ g++ --version
g++ (Debian 8.2.0-7) 8.2.0

$ QT_SELECT=qt5 qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.11.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

On Debian it seems you have to set QT_SELECT=qt5 to make qtchooser use the right qmake. If set, everythings goes right :).

Okay thanks! When editing autogen.sh and setting the QT_SELECT environment variable before starting qmake, does the compilation then work for you?

[bagage]

Yes it does :).

Thanks a lot, I just added this to the autogen.sh script :smile:

That was a quick fix, thanks @pentix. BTW qjournalctl already helped me to decrease my boot time from 20sec to 5sec :D. Really cool software I was looking for for ages!

[pentix]

Yeah, all alarms going off here when there's a qjournalctl mail incoming :joy:

Wow, that's cool to hear, thanks a lot! :)
