Qt Creator 2.2 and Tool Chain for WinCE

Oh, thanks! I'll remember that:-)

[quote author="Tobias Hunger" date="1309415562"]Just add your Qt version manually and you should be fine with that.[/quote]

I had already added the Qt version manually, but I can't build with that version because when build is selected, Qt creator pops up that the version has no toolchain. I've added the toolchain manually too, but there's nothing allowing me to assign that manually added toolchain for that Qt version. Actually there is a field in the project build options to select a toolchain, but when a toolchain is selected, the entry comes back blank. Is there a workaround that would allow me to build?

@digikata: I haven't found a work around for this. I just keep an old version of Creator kicking around to do my CE builds.

Anyone have a solution for this? I'm experiencing the same issue (Windows CE as well).

I'm working on a fix for it, but it's not my day job so the work is going slowly.

The current state is that I'm doing changes after a merge request so it might get in soon.

If you're interested I can point you to the git repository I'm using and you could build a working version from that. Not ideal, but it might get you started...

Thanks Steve. Yes, if you could point me to the git repository you're using that would be great. For the time being I'm stuck using command line to build Windows CE apps. :/

Any update on this? We just switched to using Qt for our Windows CE 5 development, and I was hoping to be able to use Qt Creator as our IDE for this, instead of Visual Studio.

But Qt Creator (2.3.1 as well as 2.4 beta) fails to find a tool chain for my Qt 4.7.3, built against our Windows CE 5 SDK using Visual Studio 2005.

@ludde

Sorry for no updates lately... The current situation on my fix for the problem is that I've got a version of creator working with WinCE 5 (and 6) tested with Visual Studio 2005. I spoke to Tobias at Dev Days and had an initial code review which I have just finished the updates for.

The next step is learning the new Gerrit system to try and get my changes included... I'll try very hard to get this into 2.5.

That's great news. If it's possible for you to somehow make a patch available, e.g. by attaching it to your bug report, I'd be happy to try it out.

@ludde

No problem, @fonzi337 has already been trying some of my earlier attempts. I'll put a link to my Gitorious clone up here when I've got the current version working.

I'll also try and find somewhere to put just the binaries to save you having to compile the whole thing.

@fonzi337

My latest changes have been merged into the main branch of QtCreator which should mean that it will be included in 2.5. If you're interested you could try compiling your own version of Creator from the master repo.

Sorry for the delay, but I had real problems trying to get my head around Git / Gerrit etc. so have messed up several times trying to get this in.
