I've build (configure, make, make install) Qt 5.4.2 from sources to my Debian 7.8 x64. Now I try to build Qt creator, but my system doesn't want to see correct Qt version.

Firstly I tried to set $QTDIR and $PATH, but it is useless. Then I have read that it is necessary use qtchooser. Ok, what I have now:

ber@mydeb:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser$ qtchooser -l
4
5
@5
@qt5
default
qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt4
qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt5

Initially there was no the 'default' conf, but I've created it by the cmd:

ber@mydeb:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser$ sudo nano default.conf

with the text:

QT_SELECT="5"
QTTOOLDIR="/usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/bin"
QTLIBDIR="/usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/"

After this my system still tried to use wrong version of Qt (from the folder /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, which does not contain a working version of Qt).

Then I tried to set QT_SELECT=default, then QT_SELECT=5 and what I have now:

qtchooser -print-env
QT_SELECT="qt5"
QTTOOLDIR="QT_SELECT="5""
QTLIBDIR="QTTOOLDIR="/usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/bin""

i.e. QTTOOLDIR=variable is wrong, and when I try to use qmake:

qmake -v
qmake: could not exec 'QT_SELECT="5"/qmake': No such file or directory

What should I do to set the correct version of Qt, which is installed to the folder /usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/ ?

Solved by:

1. Restore my system state (I'm on a virtual machine) to the moment where I had not yet edit qtchooser's conf files


2. Run qtchooser -print-env, which had showed that QT_SELECT="qt5"
   


3. 
   

   Opened usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser$ sudo nano qt5.conf, where I had seen two strings without variable names:

   
   
   

   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

   
   


4. 
   

   Changed them to:

   
   
   

   /usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/bin
/usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/

   
   


5. 
   

   And now I have:

   
   
   

   qmake -v
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.4.1 in /usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/lib
