Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 19.10
• qmake
• Version 3.1

Additional context
quick solution will be appreciated

Some systems that qmake already installed or not properly or not the right version can get this error. One way to solve this is to use the qmake that comes with the installation of the Qt.

In my case, I have my Qt installed in the home directory version Qt5.14.1. Follow this step to compile using that qmake:

1. cd into the build folder
2. In the terminal:

{path to Qt installation folder}/{version}/gcc_64/bin/qmake ..

#in my case, it will be: ~/Qt5.14.1/5.14.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake ..

NB: I faced this error because the qmake my terminal was using was from Anaconda package by default and that version was not reconciling with the code used for this project.
