    Hi Such steps are stored in .user. Since its XML we just paste it into the devs .user the few times we need to share such steps. However if u have many on the team or change fast steps then some other system is needed. :) There was also a post about this before and other options was listed. Sadly i could not find it again.

    I'm also installing a plugin (Wordstar emulation) and on Debian/Ubuntu systems to install my .so file, to find Qt Creator's plugin path I open the file ~/.local/share/applications/qtcreator.desktop and look for the path setting, in my case it's Path=/home/henry/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin then I toss the "/bin" suffix and add "/lib/qtcreator/plugins", like this: /home/henry/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/lib/qtcreator/plugins It has worked for me a couple of years but it's no guarantee :-)

    @Kaznov You should ask QtCreator developers on their mailing list or check for bug reports for QtCreator and file one if there isn't any for this issue.

    Answering my own question: after looking into qtcreator source code I realized that it is sufficient to add myoptions.astylerc file to the project similar to any source file.

    It is ok to clean the pane blank in case no return value is available. But it gets closed every time a function was leaved. And it did not reopen in case a return values is available. Good example: Expressions and Values pane gets updated every time the focus changed.

    Did you check your kit ? It might give additional clues.

    I thought non-non-existing Valgrind becomes existing Valgrind. ;) That is fine. I stumbled over the duplication while noticing a little later that Valgrind is not supported on windows. There is actual no reason to have those settings on windows in the first place.

    @jlgerber First off I would just use clion. ;) It's an awesome IDE, no real need for Creator if you have that. Now on to the problem, can we see the actual error message? Screen shot maybe?

    using "nmake distclean" or "nmake clean" will take a lot of time, instead you should use GIT or deleting then unpacking qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.1 is 10 times faster.

    @ziller said in QtCreator 4.2 - CMake ROS project: Exactly that all projects that use that kit get this setting for CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH :) I know that... What I want to know is what could be wrong removing %{Qt:QT_INSTALL_PREFIX} from the path.

    AFAIK, macOS and Linux behaviour are the same qmake wise. When going command line (or setting up the CI) I always use out of source builds, this avoids surprises when testing different build types.
