Installation and Deployment

i've XCode 10.1 but brew have updated Xcode command line tool but if i launch Qt MainitenanceTool require to install XCode 8.2 or later i don't understand why.. now i'm trying to rebuild Qt from source i hope to solve.. ----> UPDATE: <----- make was successfully done.. make install give me some errors.. now Qt MaintenanceTool require XCode 5 or later.. i'm retrying with: make clean ./Configure make make install i'm start to thinking that uninstall and install Qt may be the best way.. i've reinstalled XCode and Qt and all works now

@Tinyserver Ok. Please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button .

@matthew2011 I have the same problem, and I created two shortcuts, one of them with -noload ClangCodeModel. So I can use latest Creator for all projects, but Clang only for projects I know to work well. Regards

Actually the Installer framework I used was customised i.e. the source code of the QTIFW was modified to suit the need and then the required QTIFW binaries are rebuilt from the modified source.

@jsulm said in How to get Qt Creator to work: @daveh said in How to get Qt Creator to work: There's no indication of what the warning means Put the mouse cursor over the yellow exclamation mark... Ah thanks. I did do that without success but I just did it again. The full instructions are 'put the mouse cursor over the yellow triangle and LEAVE IT THERE for some time (longer than I normally expect for a tooltip to popup)'

@ratbUchiha69 Hi and welcome to devnet forum I have forked off your topic from the old thread. Typically it is better to start off with a new thread instead of hooking up toan old one. When you are in Qt creator check under "Tools"->"Options"->"Kits" the different tabs for warning sign.

Thank You very much @jsulm ,@JKSH I just appended my comment to the opened report.

@Schenk said in QtIFw: Changes in installed setup: @koahnig It cannot be the only solution for updates, that you have to uninstall the complete installation. This is a big problem of the installation framework. Easy to use, easy to install, but hard to update. My comment was targeting more the obvious problem, that you apparently have to correct a wrongly used routine call. My impression was that this might be only on your machine. I have a bigger setup and this is not suitable to uninstall and reinstall all components again. I am completely agreeing with you. BTW I am not trying to defend IFW and its documentation. I have gotten my own share of frustration with IFW and its documentation. Therefore I am trying to keep it simple most of the time.

Hi, Qt 4.8.0 ? How did you install it ?

I found a solution for my problem. I had to set renderType=Text.QtRendering to solve the issue. With Qt 5.4.2, I had to set renderType=Text.NativeRendering Very strange to me, but works ;) Regards Fabrice

@Lincoln_SNC 2015 version should work with VS2017

@Joachim-W Do you have c:\Qt\5.11.1\mingw53_32\lib\cmake\Qt5Gui (adapt the path to the Qt version you installed) and if so iis there anything inside?

Hence the faulty mirror suspicion. See the QtSDKRepoChooser project.

@koahnig Hi, thank you for your answer! I think it works now. To be honest I don't really know why it didn't work. I tried a lot, also turning off firewall and load online and offline installer from different pages for case, that the .exe is corrupted. Last thing I did is to check the regedit and delete all Qt*-data in HKEY_(...)\SOFTWARE. Its working now. The problem was probably because of unclean deinstallation of previous version.

@santronix Hi and welcome to devnet forum It looks like you are using the beta release of Qt5.12 which is not released yet. There might be bugs in there you can on JIRA, if there is already something reported. Otherwise I would recommend to use a previous release such as Qt5.11.2 or before that

@mherrmann said in Standalone Qt Designer installation: I also wanted to install just Qt Designer. Like you, I found it very difficult, without having to install gigabytes of other software. Out of this frustration, I created standalone installers for Qt Designer for Windows and Mac. Maybe you will find them useful. Thanks for providing a standalone installer!

@rmam what's the best way to deploy Qt applications with translation files? If you have access to the source code please check how the application is loading such translation files, or where it's expecting them to be. For instance, it may load the .qm files from the resource system (check if you have a .qrc file) and therefore the .qm files you see end up embedded in the executable

@SGaist hi, Chances are that Homebrew installation did make changes to the path. It does requier a sudo call to install correctly. Also after removing Homebrew, everything wan't fixed from the get go, I had to call sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer to fix compiler link errors.

Hi and welcome to devnet, Did you call make install after building armadillo ? You can add the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in the Run part of the Project panel in Qt Creator and list the folders where the dependencies of your libraries can be found.
