Qt Creator and other tools

@SGaist I didn't know I was able to hover over them, and it said that there was a problem with CMake. I manually set the CMake path as it was missing, and it's now working.

Hi @Abstraction, If I get it correctly this is a bug in clang, so currently there is not much you can do about :( Regards

So it turned out to be more complicated. The reason for silently failing Git Gui is, that the command git gui is called as detached QProcess. You would get an error if git could not be called, but you won't get an error if git itself fails to call Git Gui. We could use the same mechanism as for Gitk here, but that is complicated on Windows and seems to need some cleanup before. I've created QTCREATORBUG-30137 to further track this issue. Regards

Hi @J-Hilk, I thought there were a setting to disable multi-line editing, but I failed to find it. You might raise a suggestion on bugreports.qt.io to make the shortcuts configurable (so you could turn them off). Regards

@cristian-adam thank you very much!

@RAPHCVR Start from a terminal to see whether there are any errors. Also set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS before starting the app in a terminal and check the output (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/debug.html for details).

@GiordanoBruno said in Recent project list in Creator is persistent over multiple reinstallation of qt on mac OS: @SGaist hi, thanks for the note. i probably did not restart the system between each and every time i reinstalled. there were a number of power cycles and off periods so it looks like i am missing some file or the cached parameters wander into a file later. not what i would expect even from apple.

@jsulm He means the Use internal terminal item you can see in the screenshot! Which I think has been added recently. And I think is what is used when you go Run in terminal. I believe it is a "limited" terminal compared to, say, xterm, don't know what features it has/whether it supports font specification. Why anyone needs anything as specific as a font choice in what is an "inner" terminal, when you could always use an external terminal like xterm I do not know.

@_danae When adding Qt version in Qt Creator you point it to the qmake.exe file (which is in the bin directory) and it figures out the top directory from that. In VS extension you have to enter the top directory manually, so it's a bit different way to achieve the same in those IDEs and maybe that's where the error in the tutorial comes from.

@AnneRanch Hi Anne, hm. And could you locate any of the libraries on your drive? (libBT_Utility.so.1or libBT_Utility.so.1) I am insisting on that question for a number of reasons. Compilation and linking does quite some heavy lifting on the file system. Building on an external drive puts a bottle neck into the game. It really would be good to know, if everything the compiler says it has done is really done. Some of your file paths contain dates (e.g. DEC10). Such paths might confuse the linker as well: Something expected in the DEC10tree, may have been built on another day and be in another tree, e.g. NOV17. Maybe you have turned an existing project into a SUBDIRS project. That is likely to change a lot of relative paths. Brgds Axel

@kkoehne So when I loose Qt, for whatever reason, after restoring QT initially I get empty sessions, hence, the original sessions are no longer accessible. I was hoping QT session are accessible as plain files.

@piervalli Really!!! JDK in home folder works fine :) Many thanks for help.

@SGaist said in Qt5Network.dll / Qt5Gui.dll / Qt5Core.dll / Qt5Widgets.dll: @Johan1 the link I gave you explains how to use it. You need to do it from the command line. @SGaist ;SGaist ; Can you indicate with photos and arrows what I should do (please). Best regards

@davecotter Is your build dir parallel to the source? If so close QtCreateor, throw away the .user (CMakeLists.txt.user or foo.pro.user in the source dir) file to let QtCreator recreate the project settings.

@SGaist - still a useful piece of information some 7 years on, nice one! For me, your answer remedies a niggle I had with QtCreator for SailfishOS SDK. I 'd build an application on my Sony mobile, at some point I require a larger image to see detail in my app, so I start up SFOS Emulator but found that starting the build on Emulator meant the phone app being stopped. I chose option 'None' in General Settings. thanks!

@fokhagyma QDesigner is not the best/fancy app in the world.

If you really want to run from a single Qt Creator (though starting a second instance is IMHO the better option), you could write a script that runs in the internal terminal, launches Application_1 and starts an external terminal (like xterm on Linux) and runs Application_2 there. Building two applications from Qt Creator at the same time could be doable, but is certainly a lot more involved.

Well in the end I just downloaded Qt Creator directly from the Qt site. The only downside so far is that it didn't automatically integrate with my Qt installations.
