CMake can't find QtCore

cmake, linux, qt

Solution

You have probably not installed QT4 dev packets. On Ubuntu this is something like `libqt4-dev`.

The suffix "dev" stands for development packet.

Problem

My project uses cmake which tried to look for QT4 which is installed: ``` root@netqa1:~# which qmake /usr/bin/qmake root@netqa1:~# ls -l /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 6 2013 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so -> libQtCore.so.4.8.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 6 2013 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4 -> libQtCore.so.4.8.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 6 2013 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4.8 -> libQtCore.so.4.8.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2998336 Feb 6 2013 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4.8.1 ``` Still I continue to get this error from cmake: ``` Warning: QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE reported QT_INSTALL_LIBS as /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu Warning: But QtCore couldn't be found. Qt must NOT be installed correctly, or it wasn't found for cross compiling. ``` Any pointers will be really helpful
