Qt Creator and other tools

Sorry, I don't have experience with mobile development.

From a simple point of view, neither QWorkspace nor QMdiArea seem to be appropriate widgets for mobile devices. These are pure desktop widgets, in my opinion.

Backslashes are tricky since C++ interprets them in a string as the start of an escape sequence (e.g. '\t' for the tab character). So you need to escape the backslashes by prepending another backslash. That is also true for most other environments like build systems.

In qmake you should always use '/' as a directory separator, even on windows. That gets you round the escaping issue and -- as an added benefit -- will work on all supported platforms.

I am not aware of an option for that, no.

Hi,

the .lib part of a windows dll is nothing for static linkage.
windows knows two types of libraries:

dynamic ones (with a .dll containing the binary code and a .lib file which knows the offsets inside the dll) static ones, where the objects are stored inside the lib and linked to the client.

EDIT: by the way, this is valid for the MS compiler

I see thank you!

Designer is in "QtTools":https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qttools module (src/designer).

We're developers and think like those - and not always the straight way :-)

[quote author="Tobias Hunger" date="1328773916"]No, the .user file mostly contains the project data (everything you see in Projects mode).

You can set up a shadow build directory per build configuration you have (in fact that is done by default for non-Symbian builds).[/quote]

Gotcha, now I understand.

I've got ccache up and running (really slick!). Also I've figured out how to set up my build configuration. All I need to do now is figure out a way to have that conditional build step that only checks out the branch if it's not already checked out.

Thank you for your help!

Qt Creator does not use code completion indexes. It parses the code and headers it includes and generates the data from there. So there is no way to manually add indexes.

Unfortunately our parser does not yet full support for C++0x (some small features are already supported), so that is why it skips most symbols that use it. It also is bad with templates in case you have not yet noticed.

Good question. I got a 4.7.4 binary distribution (including webkit) from the OpenIndiana sfe package, and now Qt Creator works fine.

thx. I will try to do that.

Yes, it's just a matter of building the Qt libs. Qt Creator, as can be downloaded from Nokia, is capable of using all supported toolchains at once. You don't need to rebuild Creator for this.

For the needed downloads, I don't know exactly. At least the command line tools of Visual Studio (compiler, linker, etc.) is needed. Creator does not use the IDE stuff of VS.

That's right.

It works pretty fast with Qt in VS with VAX, probably at the cost of some extra memory usage I guess. Dare I say it is instantaneous.

Yes, that helped, thanks.

The runtime environment looked so much unchanged from my normal one, that I didn't spot LD_LIBRARY_PATH in it. Well hidden, indeed! ;-)

I have same issue.

I tested exact same version of the Eclipse Indigo CDT release in 64bit and 32bits. Under 32bits the QT integration works, under the 64bits it does not work. Both under Windows 7 64bits
