I'm having trouble determining the Qt package that provides qmake on Fedora 31. I already installed qt5-designer qconf qt5-devel qt5-qtbase qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qttools qt5-qttools-devel (and dependencies).

$ dnf search qmake
Last metadata expiration check: 5 days...
============================= Name Matched: qmake ==============================
mingw32-qt5-qmake.x86_64 : Qt5 for Windows build environment
mingw64-qt5-qmake.x86_64 : Qt for Windows build environment
============================ Summary Matched: qmake ============================
qconf.x86_64 : Tool for generating configure script for qmake-based projects

qconf.x86_64 was installed but does not provide it.

$ dnf provides qmake
Last metadata expiration check: 5 days...
Error: No Matches found

Sorry about this lame question. I can usually find the package on my own.

Which package provides qmake on Fedora 31?

The following works as expected on Debian and Ubuntu. It fails on Fedora 31.

qt-ui$ qmake && make -j 5
bash: qmake: command not found...
Similar command is: 'make'

And:

$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID: Fedora
Description:    Fedora release 31 (Thirty One)
Release:        31
Codename:       ThirtyOne

  • What does dnf provides '*/qmake' show for you?

The easy way to find out is often just to try installing the file you want:

sudo dnf install /usr/bin/qmake

but in this case that won't work because the literal answer to your question is that nothing does - rather qmake-qt5 is provided by qt5-qtbase-devel and qmake-qt4 is provided by qt-devel.

So rather than running qtmake you will need to run one of those, depending on whether you are trying to build for Qt 4 or Qt 5.

    Thanks @Tom. I believe the tool name is qmake, not qtmake.

  • It seems that qmake is really installed via qt-devel: rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/qmake qt-devel-4.8.7-45.fc29.x86_64 Note also that you may need to adjust your PATH to find qmake there.

Based on an earlier answer: https://superuser.com/a/1510943/631374

On Fedora 34 it is sudo dnf install qt6-qtbase-devel for QT6.

  • It's awesome, directly installed qmake and qmake6 on my desktop without any issue.

Try this way:

qt-ui$ qmake-qt5 && make -j 5

    Welcome on the SU! I formatted your answer, but I suggest to explain, why qmake-qt5 helps while the ordinary qmake does not. Copy-paste answers don't look very well.

On Fedora 33 I had to use sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase-devel to be able to use qmake-qt5.

On Fedora 32, it is qt-devel and qt5-devel for Qt4 and Qt5, respectively.

    Looks like it calls the binary qmake-qt5
