Qt Creator and other tools

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

Ah-ha! I've just found a bug report #QTBUG-23157 which seems to indicate that the binaries of tools like Assistant & Designer will only work under Lion (10.7.x) so I'm stymied until I can upgrade to Lion which I can't at the moment until a certain piece of software is built to run without the PPC emulator. Back to 4.7 libraries... (if I can find them).

Hi, unfortunately this is currently not possible. This information is extracted from the generated Qt documents shipped with Creator. We do have plans to support such a feature in the future, but there's no one (that I'm aware of) actually working on it right now. Contributions are welcome though. ;-) Cheers, Leandro

it's about Advanced Search dialog: open dialog, the textbox for replace string should be there on the first page (like in Search dialog) not on the next page after you click search. enter string that is not in your text, it will open next page to tell you No matches found. To correct your string you have to press Ctrl-Shift-F again to get back to the dialog. No matches found should be on the first page so I could correct my string right away.

Hi Gerolf, and thanks for your reply. Ill just ignore the warning then :)

Tnks Kkoehne! I will try your steps! ;)
