Qt Creator and other tools

That’s the license directory, not the one I asked you to look up.
Here it is on my PC:

The same for Qt Creator 15.0.0-rc1 (14.0.84) that I've downloaded here: https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/releases

@Christian-Ehrlicher said in Change build directory with cmake:

cmake does not place anything anywhere without question. It does what it gets told. Maybe you configured QtCreator (you did not tell us what you're using as IDE) so that the build dir is somewhere else, I don't know.

I'm using Qt Creator 14.0.2.
Anyway, there is no need to restart from scratch. It was enough to remove the kit from Build&Run and select it again.
It seems the chaning of the build directory is not working, at least on my installation.

I have now successfuly installed the online installer for Qt6 on a fresh Pi OS64. I had to install some dependencies including some to get the online installer to run without crashing.

From the Installer, I selected custom install, selected an older Qt6, then selected the components I required including Qt Creator and debug symbols. The online install then proceeded to completion without problems. QtCreator was added to the Progamming Menu making it easy to launch.

I am back to being able to run the QtCreator debugger and view items like QString correctly, although it took me several days of frustration to get there.

I planned to detail the dependencies I installed but this forum thought it was spam.

@Julius: Indeed that works by pressing the Alt key when the cursor is in a variable and Edit > Preferences > Text Editor > Behavior > Mouse and Keyboard > Show help tooltips using keyboard shortcut (Alt) is checked.

Long story short, I lost a whole days worth of work

That's why there are version control systems like Git out there.
Just commit your changes regularly, especially before doing bigger/risky changes.

What you describe sounds like a bug in QtCreator, you should create a bug ticket in https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/Dashboard.jspa

(Disclaimer: I have not yet tried to use qmllint myself. I previously described my own method to "ban qml warnings" here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/113028/is-it-possible-to-use-any-qml-parser-tool )

There is an open Qt bug with title "How to use qmllint on multiple components in one project" here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-120442

That bug report seems perhaps relevant? There are a lot of comments there. Maybe some will give you clues.

It looks like consistently moving the include of Pybind11 headers before QT Headers has fixed it.

However, this also goes for the full include tree. So if A includes B, and B includes Pybind, A should include B before including any QT Headers (QObject, QProcess, QVector, etc)

Not a beauty to handle, but at least a way to make backups. Thanks!

There has been no QScrollView since Qt3. I have not heard of requiring two children for adding a layout, but there you are. Not everything needs a layout --- containers like QScrollArea do not, I don't think you should put one on them, and should not show the "no entry" sign without one. For scrolling issues I know that QScrollArea has a widgetResizable which often needs setting to true for scrolling/scrollbars to work right. Otherwise show a screenshot from Designer and paste (a minimal) .ui file and someone will doubtless comment.

@jsulm I used Qt Installer. It is installed in C:\Qt

I am not entirely sure what your problem is in this case. However, for general use of Qt in VS: Do you have the natvis debug helpers installed (https://wiki.qt.io/IDE_Debug_Helpers)?

What might be the case with your problem is that you don't have debug symbols for Qt installed. My guess is that maybe you need to install the Qt source using the online installer. Though I'm not entirely sure about that.

I've created QTCREATORBUG-32060 for my issue.

Lmk if trying to add QT into visual studio project becomes too convoluted (>1 day) for its effort. Otherwise I will probably look at other options.

All good, thanks. Partly the dialogs confused me as to what it was asking me to choose/confirm at various points. Anyway for now at least I have a working profiling configuration, somehow!

@cristian-adam said in See cmake compilation/linker command lines:

With CMake you have two steps:

Indeed :)

Sorry to have made you screen cast. The bit I was missing/didn't see /hadn't remembered was

I had forgotten about the Details button you need to click at the right to expand the options! I use a variety of environments for work, gets confusing sometimes remembering the ins-and-outs of each one! Thanks, perfect, I now get the command lines.

Just OOI, not vital: if I expect/find useful to always see these, like qmake or make default, is there somewhere I could add/edit in Creator (or elsewhere) to make cmake always be "verbose" or have this --verbose option (all projects, all configurations)?

Thanks in advance. And if you feel really brave you might like to tackle my new https://forum.qt.io/topic/159855/profiling-analyzing-performance, which is what this was all leading up to! :) Or you might want a peaceful weekend... ;-)

Oh, thank you guys, very much..., because I did not succeed to build an example app for Android..., actually I succeeded with no error, but apk did not install on the device with "apk is not recognized" or something like this... I tasted with probably all possible combinations of JDK, NDK, ... etc., and the build apks have not been installed on any Android version...
Because of that I am asking what is the difference between the two install paths, may be I am missing something...
I followed also the guides and video clips, but without success!
