Qt Creator and other tools

Ya, Thanks for the help Dheerendra and JKSH, I have decided to just use Qt Creator for all my needs instead of handling qmake manually and using external editors. Too many headaches. Thanks again.

AFAIK, with cmake, you create multiple build folders, one for each architecture you want to support. You call cmake in it to prepare the build tree and either you directly pass the correct flags/defines or your edit the build tree using ccmake Yes, command prompt cmake -> nmake or mingw32-make depending on your compiler. Hope it helps

One of the option maybe to start an app through a shell script @ #!/bin/sh export MYTEST="Hello, world!" exec /path/to/your/app @ Select this script in "Local Executable" files and run it.

Yep, that definitely fixed it! No crashes since turning off the UpdateInfo plugin. Thanks everyone! :-D

There is a much much easier way: @CONFIG += c++11@ Put that in your project .pro file and you're done :)

No problem with that, you might be lucky here also :)

p3c0 posted an interesting link. I have actually tried it and it works; but I have only tested the styles provided in the links, I'm not sure how to handle a tooltip. You should really try it :)

If you want to know which folder will be used by default for the building process, then this setting is accessible in QtCreator's options. From the menubar go to: Tools> options > Build & Run and have a look at the Default build directory setting. The default one is "../build-%{CurrentProject:Name}-%{CurrentKit:FileSystemName}-%{CurrentBuild:Name}". Additionally debug and release folders are created inside the build folder such that you have: (some_path_before)/build/debug and (some_path_before)/build/release. This is where your files are usually built. As I said previously, the OUT_PWD (unless you explicitly modify it - which seems you don't) is going to tell you the exact main folder of the build: (some_path_before)/build so you can travel from this folder to any subfolder you have. Also, please read the whole thing I have written: if you set a particular path in DESTDIR (or DLLDESTDIR) then your build is going to put your files inside THAT path. Which means, if you set: DLLDESTDIR = dll_release your dll is going to be output in: (some_path_before)/build/dll_release and you can retrieve this exact path by using $$OUT_PWD/$$DLLDESTDIR. This is exactly what you're looking for. (if you don't set any value in DLLDESTDIR or DESTDIR all the files built will go under the debug or release folders: $$OUT_PWD/debug or $$OUT_PWD/release )

Sometimes it might be useful to manually run qmake (from the menubar: Build > Run qmake). Some changes in your .pro file might be overseen by qmake 8especially if they're made externally from Qt Creator), so the makefiles are not updated correctly. The clean step does not remove makefiles since it's qmake that handles them, so you may experience these little problems.

Just for your interest, commenting the line #CONFIG += core like you did will not drop the core module. qmake will include the core and gui modules by default, even if your .pro file is empty. Read more here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmake-project-files.html#declaring-qt-libraries So it's better for you to use CONFIG -= core gui to remove these dependencies.

hi, i think it is not, because i don't want custom wizard, i want to add ui file template to qt->qt designer form class wizard

Hi and welcome to devnet, You should bring this discussion on the interest mailing list. You'll find there Qt's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented

got it, thanks!

As SGaist said you need to build Qt 4.8.4 for your target platform using cross-compiler that comes for the platform. After build you need to install it somewhere and then you can "add a kit":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.2/creator-configuring.html#checking-build-and-run-settings which includes cross-compiler and Qt 4.8.4 to QtCreator settings. After that create new project select a new Qt 4.8.4 kit or both kits and build your project.

Yes i know :D,, excuse me for the late reply by the way... anyways, something was just bugging out.. because even if i added the image in the ui designer, it would show it in the designer... but as soon as i compiled and ran the program, the background would be gone... which is really weird, because if the designer shows the background image correctly, then that means the url and everything is correct... and even after that, i run the program and the background is just gone... like some kind of dark magic

There is a "QtDesigner":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtdesigner-manual.html a standalone utility to create UI that does not require C++ project.

It seems to be the issue with editing a file that isn't in the active project. I work with a session with quite a few projects, some plugins and libraries and a test application. The test application is the active project for obvious reasons. So, a lot of the time I'm editing code in one of the libraries. Bummer!
