Where is the Qt binary file?

Time:12-03

I'm on Manjaro based on Arch Linux. I searched everywhere, and I cannot seem to find that binary file. Searched /usr/lib/qt, used find and which commands, etc. The only might-be relevant thing I found is in /usr/lib/qt6/bin/, I found a binary file called "qt-cmake". But I'm pretty sure that's not what I'm looking for.

My final goal is to install the latest release version of Qt Creator on GitHub, and installation needs to know the paths of two binary files :

  1. Qt
  2. Llfw

Installation guide precisely says "These instructions assume that Ninja is installed and in the PATH, Qt Creator sources are located at /path/to/qtcreator_sources, Qt is installed in /path/to/Qt, and LLVM is installed in /path/to/llvm."

CodePudding user response:

There is no "Qt binary file" per se. Qt is a framework, delivered as a (large) group of libraries and header files.

The Qt installer should provide you with everything you need. I'm not sure this link will work for you, but... Qt Installer

As an aside, Qt Creator is an IDE for building and testing Qt-based applications. It isn't clear to me why you'd need the sources for that.
