Qt 5.0.0 Known Issues

Known Issues – Qt 5.0.0 release

All platforms

• Check that you meet Qt’s requirements [qt.io].

• QTCREATORBUG-8377: Qt Creator shows no Qt 5 examples / examples from wrong version
  • Workaround: This can happen only if you have previous versions of Qt without appropriate documentation installed, and this is used as “Default” Qt version. Go to Options – Build & Run – Kits and select the Qt 5.0.0 kit as the default one. Restart Creator.

• QTIFW-195 [bugreports.qt.io] MaintenanceTool always tries to completely uninstall despite user selecting update
  • No workaround yet.

• If you earlier have installed Qt 5.0 betas or RCs, Qt Creator may be picking up settings left behind by those
  • See: How do I reset all Qt Creator settings? in the Qt Creator FAQ [qt.io]

• Some QML examples (QML Camera, QML Video Shader Effects, flickrview, youtubeview) will not build correctly by default.
  • Workaround: Uncheck the shadow build flag in the projects build configuration.

Linux

• QTIFW-191 [bugreports.qt.io] Installing Qt 5.0.0 to /usr/local gives error “Could not write installer configuration …”
  • Workaround: Either install into a location writeable by the user, or run installer with sudo and fix file permissions afterwards

• QTBUG-28183: Dead keys don’t work (Unable to input characters with diacritics)

Windows

• QTBUG-28728: Binary installer package for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 is not available yet.
  • Qt 5.0 can be built successfully from source using Visual Studio 2012

• Change request 43190 [codereview.qt.io]
  • win_flex.exe didn’t work on Windows XP (and reportedly, not with mingw on Windows 7 either)

• Visual Studio Add-In v1.1.11 does not work with Qt 5.0
  • Version 1.2.0 can be used

• QTIFW-177 [bugreports.qt.io] Qt SDK 5.0 doesn’t remove C:\Qt after uninstalling on Windows
  • Workaround: Remove manually C:\Qt after uninstalling

• Bug 104436 [bugs.webkit.org] [Qt] MinGW-w64 64-bit build fails when linking libQt5WebKitWidgetsd
  • qtwebkit doesn’t build with MinGW. Disable webkit by removing the qtwebkit, qtwebkit-examples-and-demos directories before building

• QTBUG-28743: configure.exe missed
  • configure.exe is only part of the .zip package. Workaround is to download this one, or do a ‘touch qtbase\.gitignore’

• QTBUG-28915: pdb files should be distributed for visual studio debug build
  • If you want to debug into Qt libs, you need to build qt by yourself for now.

Mac OS X

• The binary packages do not support Mac OS X 10.6.
  • Workaround: To use Qt on or for 10.6, you need to build Qt yourself on a 10.6 machine

• If Xcode Command Line Tools are not installed, installation fails with “Error while relocating Qt: Can’t invoke otool. Is Xcode installed?”
  • Workaround: In Xcode, select Preferences -> Downloads -> Components -> Command Line Tools.

• QTBUG-28336: Mac: linker warns about non-existing directories
  • Workaround: Not needed, the produced binaries work.

• Accessibility on Mac is disabled. Will be enabled in a future release.
