I’m learning Qt so I can add GUI to my C/C++ program, but I’m hoping to be able to do this within a VS Code project. I converted to Ubuntu from Windows and was hooked, the system is more efficient and coding is so much easier whether in VS Code or Terminator. I know quite a bit about coding in several languages, but I still have a lot to learn and am open to learning more if need be.

I installed Qt with the online installer and it seemed to work fine, until I rebooted my system later. I reinstalled it a few times with the same results, no terminal errors or installation errors. I tried creating a project the last time and it worked well, I was able to save and restart the Qt editor without issues. The project opened and worked, but when I rebooted the system and tried to open the Qt editor, I got the please reinstall Qt message.

Now I just want to try to just include the free GNU source that they have in a VS Code project.
Do I just update the *propertied.json, includePath to include the Qt source?

Tried installing vanilla Qt IDE online installer, worked until I rebooted the system.

followed the scattered documentation sites to try making a simple window with hello world on it. The system doesn’t recognize the Qt macros.
