Qt Creator and other tools

No problem, Qt Creator supports cmake, too. If you mean, however, to ask whether you can copy-paste kit setup easily - then no. You can use official Qt installers, there Qt Creator comes preconfigured with all the kits already in place.

@aha_1980 said in Qt Creator 4.7.1: Autocomplete (Intellisense) does not work.: How did you install QtCreator? I have downloaded Qt 5.11.2 from here. I mean Qt Creator is installed automatically. Which kind of project are you using: QMake, QBS, CMake, Generic? I used QMake but it is not working when I use Qbs. Does code completion work in a minimal project (e.g. File > New File or Project > Application > Qt Widgets Application ? It is not working for all project types (Qt Widgets Application, Non-Qt project (plain c / c++ etc.). There might be the one or other problem with Clang, but I can't imaging that it does not work at all. I'm using Linux and g++7 compiler for C++ projects. Can the problem be about g++? Thanks.

@qtcat Did you build your app? ui_mainwindow.h is a file which is generated during build. If it is not yet there (because you did not yet build), QtCreator will show this errors/warnings because it does not know what Ui::MainWindow, which comes from that generated file, is.

@Mark81 Windows developers never fail ;) Honestly, I guess the reason is, that Linux provides all tools like ssh and gdbserver out of the box. Windows doesn't.

Hi, You don't need to, Qt Creator has Designer integrated. Just open the file in Qt Creator and you should get the editor as if you were running Designer. Otherwise, look at the bin folder of your Qt installation.

Hi @Lammonaaf , have you solved this issue? Qt-IFW miss some useful documentation concerning this. Thanks, Raf

The real solution is to provide a separate mkspec file for each of these compilers, the quick (and dirty) solution is to override the compiler in the project file. Unfortunately it is impossible to provide logs as I have deleated gcc 4.7 and all its includes manually from That's a really, really bad idea.

@SGaist Thanks, make sense!

Hi and welcome to devnet, You should run ldd on the plugin to see if you have all dependencies installed on your device.

@qwerty1234 You can manually add your compiler: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-tool-chains.html

Hi and welcome to devnet, That's an interesting question. I would recommend bringing it on the interest mailing list. You'll find there Qt's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.

Did you have any luck with this?

@dgiglio Is it only how it looks? If so then I guess the screen-shots were taken on another OS than what you use, but it doesn't matter as long as it's the same QtCreator version.

From http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-managing-sessions.html File > Sessions > Manage > Restore last session on startup.

@M.O.H If you want some improvements in QtCreator (not CtCreator) then you should go to Qt bug tracker and file a request there. This is a user forum, it does not make sense to request changes in QtCreator here.

@sierdzio excellent ;) It kind of looked like in XCode. IMHO Qt Creator syntax completion is better. Thanks Marek

@Pablo-J.-Rogina No, is not possible

@billconan do you have a minimal example for us to counter check? Also, Creator 4.8 is just around the corner, there are already beta snapshots to try.

I think my fresh Qt installation is ready. Thanks, it was not such a pain as I expected.
