title: Get Qt up and running with Netbeans
body: <p>I'm trying to get started writing a Qt program in Netbeans, but I'm having trouble getting it to work.
  I'm trying to follow <a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/74/cnd/qt-applications.html?print=yes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> tutorial from the Netbeans site which explains how to do just that, however it seems to be outdated.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>Install NetBeans IDE and the C/C++ plugin module, as explained in Configuring the NetBeans IDE for C/C++/Fortran. Do not install
    compilers yet.</li>
    <li>Exit NetBeans IDE.</li>
    <li>Download the MinGW installer from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw</a>.</li>
    <li>Run the MinGW installer, which should have a file name similar to mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe.</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Steps 1-4 are easy. Although the name of the installation-file for MinGW is "mingw-get-setup.exe"</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol start="5">
    <li>In the MinGW installer, select the following components to install:
    
    <ul>
    <li>C</li>
    <li>C++</li>
    <li>MSYS Basic System</li>
    <li>MinGW Developer Toolkit</li>
    </ul></li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>There's no options with these exact names.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>For <strong>C</strong> I picked the bin-version of "mingw32-gcc"(The GNU C Compiler)</li>
  <li>For <strong>C++</strong> I picked the bin-version of "mingf32-gcc-g++"(The GN C++ Compiler)</li>
  <li>For <strong>MSYS Basic System</strong> I picked the bin-version of "msys-base"(A Basic MSYS Installation (meta))</li>
  <li>Lastly for <strong>MinGW Developer Toolkit</strong> I picked "mingw-developer-toolkit"(An MSYS Installation for MinGW Developers (meta))</li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol start="6">
    <li>Download and install the following Qt software from <a href="http://qt-project.org/downloads" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://qt-project.org/downloads</a>. 
    Qt libraries 4.8.5 for Windows (minGW 4.4 317 MB)
    Qt Creator 2.8.1 for Windows (51 MB)</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>After signing up and reaching the download-page I find a download for Qt Creator, but not one for Qt Libraries.
  I figured I might need to download Qt Online Installer which I did.
  During the component selection I select to install <strong>Qt5.5->MinGW 4.9.2 32 bit</strong> and <strong>Tools->MinGW 4.8.2</strong> but still can't find any Qt Libraries.</p>
  
  <p>At this stage I can compile and run Qt Applications in Qt Creator fine.
  I create a Qt application in Netbeans and try compiling it with the following Tool collection: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/e3yrM.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/e3yrM.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I get </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1s)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but I then get:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>read from master failed
                           : Input/output error</p>
    
    <p>RUN FAILED (exit value 1, total time: 310ms)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I also tried with the same toolset but with MinGW from "C:\Qt\Tools\mingw482_32\bin" hoping that the compiler from the same installer as Qt would work, but it gives me the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Where do I go wrong?</p>
