Part-1: Install and Configure Qt5 on Ubuntu 16.04

Series

• Part-1: Install and Configure Qt5 on Ubuntu 16.04
• Part-2: Install and Configure VTK 8.1.0 from source with Qt5 on Ubuntu 16.04
• Part-3: Install and Configure PCL 1.8.1 with vtk qt support on Ubuntu 16.04 from source
• Part-4: Install and Configure PCL 1.8.1 with vtk qt support on windows 10 from source

Guide

• qt: 5.7.0
• qmake: 3.0 based on Qt 5.7.0
• qtcreator: 3.5.1 based on Qt 5.5.1

purge existing qt5 and qt4

sudo apt-get purge qt5-default qtcreator

sudo apt-get purge qt4-designer qt4-dev-tools

install qt57

In addition, building graphical Qt applications requires OpenGL libraries and headers installed. On Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux systems you can get OpenGL and the minimal set of development tools by installing the packages libgl1-mesa-dev and build-essential, i.e. by running this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev

Download qt and install.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev

wget http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.7/5.7.0/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.0.run

chmod +x qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.0.run

./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.0.run

install to /opt/Qt5.7.0

cd /opt

sudo ln -s /opt/Qt5.7.0 qt

add qt bin to path

vim .bashrc

# added by kzl

export PATH=/opt/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH

export PATH=/opt/MATLAB/R2016b/bin:$PATH

export PATH=/opt/qt/5.7/gcc_64/bin:$PATH

qt.conf for ld.so.conf.d

cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d

sudo vim qt.conf

/opt/qt/5.7/gcc_64/lib

sudo ldconfig

or only install qtcreator (find_package error for qt5x11extra-config.cmake)

sudo apt-get install qt5-default qtcreator

sudo apt-get install qt4-designer qt4-dev-tools

qtchooser

add qt57.conf

cat /usr/share/qtchooser/qt57.conf 

/opt/qt/5.7/gcc_64/bin

/opt/qt/5.7/gcc_64/lib

# link to qt57

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser

sudo ln -s /usr/share/qtchooser/qt57.conf qt57.conf

link to default

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt-default/qtchooser

sudo rm default.conf

sudo ln -s /usr/share/qtchooser/qt57.conf default.conf

ls -l default.conf

Qtcreator Tutorial

install qtcreator

sudo apt-get -y install qtcreator

qtcreator -version

Qt Creator 3.5.1 based on Qt 5.5.1

create application

Start qtcreator and create a Qt Widget Application named hello.

add resource file

Add a resource file named resource.qrc.

hello-->right click--> Add New... --->qt---> qt resource file---> name resource---> generate resource.qrc

and then import images to resource.qrc

Resources | resource.qrt--->right click---> Add Prefix...---> name /prefix

Resources | resource.qrt | /prefix--->right click ---> Add Existing Files... ---> choose images ---> OK

use resource in mainwindow.ui

button ---> property page ---> icon ---> Choose Resource... ---> select image ---> OK

Qt slots

method 1

steps:

mainwindow.ui ---> choose button ---> right click ---> Go to slot... ---> choose clicked() ---> OK

will add slots in mainwindow.h automatically

private slots:

    void on_pushButtonOK_clicked();

and in mainwindow.cpp

void MainWindow::on_pushButtonOK_clicked()

{

}

Tips: if we use on_pushButtonOK_clicked style, there is no need to connect with slots in MainWindow constructor by hand.

method 2 (OK)

add slots in mainwindow.h by hand

private slots:

    void pushButtonCancel_clicked();

and in mainwindow.cpp

void MainWindow::pushButtonCancel_clicked()

{

}

connect button with slot in mainwindow.cpp

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :

    QMainWindow(parent),

    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)

{

    ui->setupUi(this);

    // connect

    connect(ui->pushButtonCancel, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(pushButtonCancel_clicked()));

}
