Qt path not found

• Nov 29, 2020 - 22:29

heya,
I am 2nd year cs student and I took an interest in this open source project, but already while trying to build I ran into an issue,
I am trying to build it through visual studio and It cant seem to find the Qt path,
I fallowed all the steps in the guide from the developer handbook, searched online for it aswell,
checked I had the correct sub directory in the PATH variables but nothing seems to work.
The error I am getting:

"Error CMake Error at build/functions.cmake:90 (message):
Unable to find Qt (cmd: qmake)
Please make sure Qt is installed and available in your PATH environment
variable."
The qt versions i have - 5.9.9 and 5.15.1.
Am I missing something??

While I am at it, If someone has suggestions about what technologies should I get familiar with before diving into the code, I would be grateful. (I have prior knowledge in cpp).

Thanks in advance

Is Qt in your Path?

Yes, I even tried linking the bins of the diff versions.
Adding a screenshot of the PATH variable.
Maybe I am doing something wrong there or missing some link.

What? That's not the "Path" variable, but the "Qt" variable

You are right...
I got the meaning of the PATH all wrong. It fixed it.
thanks.

I have an other issue on Fedora 33, there qmake is called qmake-qt5 and qmake-qt4, so I put a link to qmake-qt5 in the musescore top source directory and extended PATH with that directory. That did the trick but if there is a better way to configure this that would be good to know..

Thanks.
