Qt Creator and other tools

@JonB no project file; it's a CMake application.

Ahhh crap! The "template" in the .pro had a typo (had "apps" need to be "app").

@davecotter said in QT6 + multimedia?: is this the case: "we wanted to release Qt6 asap, so didn't wait until multimedia was done. we will finish mutimedia and then make it part of Qt6"... It is this case. https://www.qt.io/blog/add-on-support-in-qt-6.0-and-beyond

Yes, the Qt Creator about box still says 4.8.0..

Hi, That's a question you should bring to the Google folks.

@llothar said in QtCreators auto detection of test cases is doing it wrong.: or there is some other way then the forum to request feature changes. The forum is user-driven and have nothing to do with the Qt development. Bug reports should go to bugreports.qt.io

I wouldn't know about Google's C++ style guide, but Qt certainly have their own guidelines for Qt itself: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Coding_Style There is a _clang-format file used by clang-format in the supermodule, which should be in line with the standard: https://github.com/qt/qt5/blob/dev/_clang-format You're completely free to choose your own style for your projects using Qt, though.

Thanks, I am distributing my source code via GitHub and GPL. I think that so long as I do that, it doesn't matter whether or not I use static linking in so far as licensing is concerned. My code is open-source, at least that's my intent. I did find that I was able to easily modify the makefile emitted by Qt Creator to force static linking of most, but not all of the Linux system dependencies. Apparently, some of the OS libraries were available only as shared libraries and in some cases Qt libraries called shared Linux OS libraries so that I was not able to use all the available static libraries offered by Linux. Too bad that it doesn't appear that one can roll up a desktop app all into one executable with no shared library calls. I'm thinking this would be nice since then, it could be distributed to any Linux machine without consideration of the distribution or kernel version? Thanks, Phil

Strange, now it is working. Perhaps I only needed to close Qt Creator and reopen it. Marking as SOLVED.

@Pl45m4 It is still unclear - "who is on first". If I use QtDesigner in simple "push button, clear list" connection , the "code" is buried in XML .... If want to do "see" the code options in "edit" I have to implement both slot and signal in my C code before I can do the connection , using "edit" in QtDesigner. If I do that , I get the "connect code" in XML again. It is fine when it all works, but pretty awkward to implement. Definitely not intuitive and no fun switching between QtCreator and QtDesigner. It sort of confirms my PERSONAL opinion that GUI is not always an user friendly improvement when it is just a fancy layer over CLI. PS I do no have any "connect" in MainWindow so I still do not see the "edit " buttons. l will work on that , but beginning to share other's opinions that doing "connect" in QtDesigner is not very productive .

Hi, You should take a look at the Calculator Form example. From a learning point of view, I would recommend to start by reading the documentation associated with Qt Designer, dig in the examples and then start doing more involved stuff. You should also take the time to read about Signals and Slots to have a better grasp of what each is and what you can and cannot do with them.

Which slot are you trying to connect ? Advice: get yourself comfortable with doing things in code code. That's a very good long term investment.

@JonB can you please write an example code?Because i dont understand python.Sorry,im dumb ;P Thanks alot

@aha_1980 This is what I was hoping for. I will go ahead and do that. Thank you!

@ssdroon30 said in QtCreator project error - no source file are in the qt project just the pro file: The error resolved itself Alright then, so please don't forget to mark your post as solved!

Hi @Qt-newbie_wy , and welcome! No official date yet, but people are already able to build most of Qt for ARM-based macOS: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-85279

I completely forgot to ask if this is even the "usual" or "preferred" way to cross build, deploy and remote debug? My only concern is to start with the start script, so the executable itself and the called command actually differ

Hi @Jacques_NM18, yes, disabling AV might help. Maybe you can get an exception for the folder where the settings are stored. Otherwise I'm running out of ideas... Regards
