[SOLVED]Make QtCreator, QMake and clang3.2 work with c++11

ogoffart

What is the compiler command?

Also, unique_ptr is part of the standard library. Are you using the stdlib from gcc or the libcpp?
If you are using the one from gcc, you need to have a recent version of GCC.

If you are on mac, it is better to use libcpp, then you need to use -stdlib=libc++
But I think is not binary compatible with GCC's library.

bq. What is the compiler command?

clang++ -stdlib=libstdc++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o test

Now I get rid of those errors by using the default compiler on OS X 10.8.1
I downloaded the command line tools by XCODE

but when I compile it by QtCreator
It can't work

.pro
@
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
CONFIG += -std=c++11

SOURCES += main.cpp

@

@
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World2!" << endl;

auto func = [](){cout << "wahaha"<<endl; };

return 0;

}
@

the compiler of the QtCreator refer to is usr/bin/clang++

I don't know this is the same compiler of the command line refer to or not?
How could I check the path of the "clang++" of the terminal refer to?

Try typing that in the terminal:
@which clang++@

Thanks, it is same as the QtCreator refer to
/usr/bin/clang++

So the problem is how could I make that QtCreator
know I need c++11 support just like the command line do?

command input from the terminal
clang++ -stdlib=libstdc++ -std=c++11

the codes with c++11 library also pass if it is compile by command line

You should add:
@QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11@

The previously given variable, CXXFLAGS, doesn't do anything.

stereomatching

Thanks, QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11 did make c++11 features pass

@
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt

SOURCES += main.cpp

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11
@

But it can't compile when I use something related to the library
like unique_ptr or initialise_list

Under command line, stdlib=libstdc++ should play the trick
How about QtCreator?Even it pass, could it work with Qt?

alexisdm

You can add "-stdlib=libstdc++" to QMAKE_CXXFLAGS too.

stereomatching

bq. You can add “-stdlib=libstdc++” to QMAKE_CXXFLAGS too.

I tried it, but can't work

@
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt

SOURCES += main.cpp

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++
@

The flags -stdlib=libstdc++ and -std=c++11
are added into the Compiler, tools and options part
CXXFLAGS = -pipe -std=c++11 -stdlib=libstdc++ -O2 -arch x86_64 -Wall -W $(DEFINES)

what is the problem of the makefile generated by qmake?

stereomatching

Sorry, I did a mistake, the command should be
-stdlib=libc++ but not -stdlib=libstdc++

The correct command line :
clang++ -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o test

command line work fine, but QtCreator still generate error message

alexisdm

The version is taken from the "QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-variable-reference.html#qmake-macosx-deployment-target variable, so if it wouldn't work with that version, you get an error.

According to the informations of the link, I add
QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.7
just as the previous post

But I get another error message
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The contents of the makefile

Apparently, it do not link to the proper library
Where is the proper library?

alexisdm

According to the generated makefile, the target is still 10.4.
Can you show the compilation output to see how clang++ is invoked ?

If you have to add -stdlib=libc++, that means the current Qt installation uses libstdc++, and you won't be able to compile anything with both Qt and libc++, unless you recompile Qt.

Sorry, looks like I posted a wrong makefile
This time I'm sure the target is 10.7

How about Qt5?Do I need to add -stdlib=libc++ if it is Qt5?
I would upgrade my projects to Qt5 if I could skip the pain of recompile

Whatever, now the problem is how to make QtCreator could work with clang++
and c++11.Command line can make the job done but the makefile generated
by qmake can't compile.

stereomatching

I give Qt5.0.1 a try, it has a same problem too
But this is expectable since the codes have nothing
to do with Qt but QtCreator and clang++.

I install Qt5.0.1 and Qt4.8.4 on mac together
Not sure this could be a problem or not

I am thinking of using gcc4.7 to replace clang3.2
Compile with gcc come from the osx is fine with Qt4.8.4

But Qt5.0.1 would generate a warning message no matter it is
clang or gcc

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/yyyy/Qt5.0.1/5.0.1/clang_64/qtbase/lib'

stereomatching

I download gcc4.8 by macport

//install gcc48
sudo port install gcc48

//set gcc48 as the default compiler
sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc48

set the compiler under /opt/local/bin/g++ for Qt5.0.1

without any warning or errors
but it will pop out warning if I use Qt5
