I am writing an app autodetect devices is plugged/unplugged.
I used C++ with the Qt framework. libudev.h was included on my code.
and I actually installed libudev-dev package successful via sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
but QtCreator still has an error message: libudev development package not found
file .pro:

Could you help me find a reason?
The error message suggests you are either missing libudev-dev
or pkg-config
. Since you already installed libudev-dev
, then that means what you're missing is the pkg-config
tool. If the command:
pkg-config --version
doesn't print something like:
0.29.1
then you're missing the pkg-config
tool. Install it:
sudo apt install pkg-config
This should fix your issue. Remember to delete LIBS += -ludev
from your project file. You only need PKGCONFIG += libudev
.
