Qt Creator and other tools

http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18985

Which I filed yesterday,
May also be of interest too. It relates to whats causing the issue and 3 or so things that may be done to fix this.

Thanks for the quick reply. I seem to have resolved this issue (it can now find the files and I'm not sure what I did to fix it) but they are not being moc'ed so the link fails. I have seen the resolution to this problem when using a qmake file but I don't have one. How do I ensure that the new .cpp/.h files are moc'ed.

Thanks,
Andy

It supports the MS c++ tool chain (like cl, link, nmake, ...) :-)
MSVS is the IDE itself :-)

If he does not beleive, he should test it, but then also create the project like the users would do, mith MSVS :-)

Hi andreaplanet,

the specfiles are not specifically to cross compiling, they are specific for the cimpiler. And there are many examples, all in the file structure.

And regarding an example, which one? host linux, windows or mac? Which compiler to use for the target environment? All this depends on the host and target environment, and each compiler might be different. How to do cross compiling is just a thing of the toolchain, and so it heavily depends on that.

Giving an example with Linux (perhaps Suse enterprise) and chroot mechanism would fulfill linux, what with mac and windows? So I think, it's ok how it is. It could be something for the wiki here, if someopne writes something for a specific environment and toolchain.

You can check Qt Creator for an example. It embeds the designer.

Please file a "bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ if something crashes!

This is especially if you can provide good information on how to reproduce the issue and/or a backtrace. In case of a debugger issue the debugger log (top right in the debugger view) is absolutely necessary for us to find the issue, too, so please also include that.

Looking forward to your report!

Done.

For designer you can use the signal and slot editor, but not to connect with other widgets/dialogs.

You better can use creator for this task, then you can 'talk' with any object in your project as long as you use slots or make functions public.
In code use connect.

edit:
look "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5273/#31552 to

I'm starting to appreciate Fedora too.
Everything Qt related seems to work out of the box.
I even managed to build the postgresql driver (64 bit) easily (I had a similar post with my troubles building it under Windows x64).

Then it have to be a bug as it is clearly there in the beta and I haven't install it ... but it seems to be gone in the latest snapshot. In my opinion it isn't needed to be reported. Do you think otherwise?

Andre: Thanks for the link to the conversation, good read.

My account does not allow to log into the bug report area. Below is the Debug logger produced using QT Creator 2.1.0 -->

Didn't know we did that;-)

Mmm.... my approach to this would be using DDD (data display debugger? or sth like it) as an interface to GDB, then setting some breakpoints...

Thanks secretNinja.
Qt Creator 2.1.83 (unstable) has the external tools feature. Very cool.

If anyone else needs it, here's a link to "download Qt Creator unstable versions.":http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/snapshots/

OK, this error is now fixed having upgraded to the latest Intel Compiler (12.0.3.175), and for what it's worth build took 48 minutes using jom and 4 cores.

Now off to see if I can get a 64 bit build of Creator done.

Isn't it time to discuss "QtCreator 2.2":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/24/qt-creator-2-2-beta-release/ ... yes, it is beta but I haven't found any serious issues so far ( on the other side - I haven't used it so much ).

I found QtCreator several months ago ... and I couldn't understand how it was possibly to live without it for so long :)

And adding new features like "Qml Perfomance Monitor":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/04/07/qml-perfomance-monitor/ is great.

There is a bug report about this: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-4437
