Qt/Qt Creator - The program has unexpectedly finis

Question

I'm somewhat new to C++ and to Qt 5.2.1. I'm actually learning how to use Qt. To do it as easy as possible, I'm using Qt Creator 3.0.1.

I've written this little piece of code in the main.cpp file of my project :

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QPushButton bouton("Hello !");
    bouton.show();

    return app.exec();

}

And the .pro file (by default) :

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

I tried to make it run, then I got the issue "QApplication : no such file or directory".

Then, I added "QT += widgets" to the .pro file (full file) :

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp
QT += widgets

And now I get :

Starting <path to .exe>... 
The program has unexpectedly finished.
<path to .exe> crashed

Please, tell me how to make it work. Thanks for reading and for your help.

Answer 1

I've look all over the web, seeking how to install Qt5. There's not enough tutorials on it and it's very puzzling to make it work properly on Windows.

I have finally installed Qt4, which is more stable and easier to make it work.

The code looks good. One explanation for what you get would be incompatible DLLs (e.g. Debug vs Release builds, or MSVC vs MinGW). You could start depends.exe with your .exe and check whether it picks up libraries from unexpected locations.
