The first step is to determine wich .pro file causes the error.

Open a console, go to the respective subdirectory and call qmake manually. It should print the errors, if there are any. Alternatively, you can open the .pro file in Qt Creator.

Then, after knowing the offending .pro file, you can look what's wrong with that.

I mentioned above which .pro has the error (core.pro)

bq. core project: “The .pro file could not be parsed”

goetz

Sorry, I had overlooked that. In that case, have a look at the compiler output pane in Creator if there are some detailed error messages. If not, comment out everything in the .pro file. Then add one line/part after another, rerun qmake and chek if the error returns. You then know the offending part of the file.

Building process done correctly although error message appears but because of this error auto-completion & run of core.pro don't work correctly.

This issue fixed when I commented win32 blocks in core.pro as following... what's wrong here?

I noticed something strange too in IbnZuhr.pro which is qwt project appears in projects tree although I put it in win32 block!!!

@win32 {
SUBDIRS += qwt
}@

PS
I'm using Linux Mint x64

goetz

maybe it is the trailing backslash on the last line (INCLUDEPATH) in the win32 section...

Try to remove all lines in the win32 section, re-add line for line/section and check if the fault reoccurs.

mbnoimi

Voilà! I found the issue it's in this part of core.pro

@LIBS += ../ysom/lib/libysom-win32.a
../csv/lib/libcsv-win32.a
../fft/lib/libfft-win32.a
../qwt/lib/libqwt.a
../qwt/lib/libqwtmathml.a @

Now the problem solved partially, I still see qwt project appears in projects tree although I'm working under linux and qwt should appears under windows only.

What's wrong in IbnZuhr.pro file?

Seems to be a bug, at least in 2.4.1. I can reproduce the faulty behavior on my installation. I suggest opening an issue at the "public bugtracker":https://bugreports.qt-project.org

Could you please file this bug report instead of me because "stupid bugtracker not working":https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/15297/ !

goetz

Done. Issue ID is QTCREATORBUG-7339.

goetz

Response from the Creator developers:

bq. That's on purpose

The ticket has been closed as "invalid".

tobias.hunger

I think the idea for not honoring scopes in Qt Creator is that you still should be able to see and edit files, even though they are not built on a platform...

goetz

That makes sense.

As Creator does not build the stuff, but just calls qmake/make on the command line, the correct set of files is used for the build step.
