Qt Creator and other tools

@paulf Hi, While the installer itself is indeed x86_64, the Qt installation is universal.

@aha_1980 Instead of just trying the codes in my own batch file, I changed the name from echoansi.txt to echoansi.BAT and set that as the custom process step, and it worked fine. However, when I tried to use the same codes in my own batch file, I noticed that some combinations of colors just won't work -- others are fine, but not what I need. For example, the Qt Creator output doesn't seem to recognize the codes for yellow (or bright yellow) background, nor for white or yellow text on a dark background -- although these look fine in the echoansi.BAT output. I need to look at this some more. At least it is nice to know that the endeavour isn't totally hopeless! Thanks for your input, @aha_1980!

Hi, just wanting to see if this was ever solved; I'm having the same issue, too. EDIT: I reloaded my VSCode Window (after checking to make sure that ~/.local/share/CMakeTools/cmake-tools-kits.json actually found the Qt installation in ~/Qt/. That fixed the problem somehow.

You can manually configure a Kit in Qt Creator by adding a C/C++ compiler, a Qt setup, a Debugger. Or you can do it from command line via the SDK Tool.

See https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-copilot.html for details and tell us if it worked!

In the Analyzer preferences page, there is the: Prefer .clang-tidy file, if present. You could uncheck it and see how things work.

I turns out the the moc*.cpp files are included at the end of the regular cpp files. So the question now becomes how to tell VS Tools to run moc, but NOT to compile the moc*.cpp files.

Qt Creator 18 added experimental devcontainer support: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-creator-18-released

Start by doing the steps described at https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/figmatoqt/figmatoqt-getting-started.html

Hi, This is a user forum. For feature request, you should open one on the bug report system.

📺 𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚊.𝚚𝚝𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 installation for Qt Creator 18 on Windows. This video showcases how you can use gpt-oss 20b with Qt Creator 18 and llama.qtcreator. This was done on Windows 11 running on a Bosgame M5 "Strix Halo" AMD Ryzen 395+ PC. First the llama.cpp extension in installed from Qt Creator's extension store, then llama.cpp via winget.

Bah! I did miss the obvious - just need to use the drop-down to change the item type!!!

You already can do this, just select Current executable in Project's Settings at the Build Steps: [image: e34e8220-ec92-4e5d-a92b-437c909b1536.png]

@steve-jobs said in what is the creator and design studio workflow: My biggest question is how on earth do I connect these two together. I make a project in creator and it doesn't make a .qmlproject file so design studio can't open it as a project. When I make a project with design studio it doesn't create any of the cpp, cmake or qml files that creator is wanting so I can't build what it made. Use Qt Design Studio to design the GUI Export your project to CMake by enabling the CMake generator (see https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/studio-exporting-for-c.html or https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/studio-cmake-generator.html ) Open the top-level CMakeLists.txt in Qt Creator

The .pro.user file has nothing to do in a source distribution and must not be shipped - it's specific to a local installation. Remove it and open the project again.

There is no Qt api to access a mongoDb - you have to do it by yourself. Since it's a no-sql database you won't be able to use QtSql module here.

note that this is now underway

@ScumCoder - thanks for posting this solution. Is there way I can select QtWebEngine from pre-build assistant.exe which I installed using pip install pyside6 in my conda environment?

@jsulm Thank you! [image: ce449242-a4e0-4f94-91f6-a2116a26f4f0.png]
