Qt Creator and other tools

Hi JKSH, Yes, I see it now. My mistake seems to be that I did not add the kit to the project, but just created it with Extras->settings->settings and execution->kit->add. Do I get it right, that this way I only added a kit to the kits that are generally available, but not to the actual project? Thank you!

This has been deprecated in 14.04. And this doesn't really help if I want to play around with Qt versions.

Nice ! Since it's working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :) Happy coding :)

I have found a solution now. The problem I was having is that I could not get QT Creator to forget about the project and let me re-configure it. (Build directory, etc). Having now deleted the CMakeLists.txt.user file and re-specified the build directory I now have more options available to me for CMake generators, including MinGW! So am I missing an obvious way to change the configuration for a project? I was basically moving from the MSVC compiler to MinGW GCC, but without deleting the CMakeLists.txt.user file that resides alongside the original CMakeLists.txt I see no other way. What if I wanted to test both compilers for whatever reason from inside QT Creator?

No problem, some tools just allow you to add dependencies without having to modify the .pro file manually. If this solved it for you, please mark the thread accordingly :)

Hi, The correct place to ask feature for Qt Creator is the "bug report system":http://bugreports.qt-project.org If you want to discuss it first, then use the Qt-creator mailing list, you'll find there Qt Creator's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented

Hi and welcome to devnet, In Qt Creator, open the about dialog and check which version of Qt was used. Also, the plugin must be built with the same compiler as was Qt Creator and IIRC it's done using Visual Studio. So all, in all, since you are using MinGW, you might have to build Qt Creator yourself in order to use these plugins

Hi, No, it doesn't come as a separate product. However, depending on what the outside service uses as OS, it can be installed through e.g. a package manager. Otherwise you can pack the one coming with Qt's installation Hope it helps

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 :)
