How to run a C++ code in Qt?

Rela

@SGaist
This code in "main.cpp" outputs the area and prime of a circle in which QString::number(); is used to return float.

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>

#include <QString>
#include <QHBoxLayout>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QWidget>

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    int radius = 3; //radius of circle
        float square; //area of circle
        float edge; //perimeter of circle
     square = 3.14 * radius*radius;
     edge = 2 * 3.14 *radius;

        //cout << "Circle are= " << area << endl;
        //cout << "Circle perimeter= " << perime;

        // Show area
        QString area = QString::number(square);
        QLabel* arlabel=new QLabel(area);
        // create horizontal layout
        arlabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
        QHBoxLayout* arlayout=new QHBoxLayout;
        // and add label to it
        arlayout->addWidget(arlabel);
        QWidget* arwidget=new QWidget;
        // set layout to widget
        arwidget->setLayout(arlayout);
        arwidget->show();

        // Show perime
        QString perime = QString::number(edge);
        QLabel* pelabel=new QLabel(perime);
        pelabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
        // create horizontal layout
        QHBoxLayout* pelayout=new QHBoxLayout;
        // and add label to it
        pelayout->addWidget(pelabel);
        QWidget* pewidget=new QWidget;
        // set layout to widget
        pewidget->setLayout(pelayout);
        pewidget->show();
    //MainWindow w;
    //w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

I created two "QLabel" in "Mainwindow.ui", but it opens two separate "Mainwindow.ui" and shows area and prime in each of them. But I want to have both on one "Mainwindow.ui".

SGaist

No, currently it shows two widgets: arwidget and pewidget.

MainWindow.ui is innocent here since you don't even show MainWindow.

If you only want to show one widget, create a QWidget, put a layout on it and add arwidget and pewidget to it. You don't even need MainWindow.

Hi, last week I created one widget and it worked. Today, I was goign to run it again, but the files format has changed. I think MSV was updated. First time MVS 2015 gave error "Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Solution is not saved. Please save your solution before managing NuGet packages. 0".
Should I click on Restore NuGet Packages?

SGaist

I don't see why not.

Note that your link is pointing to an invalid page

@SGaist
The MVS 2015 was updated automatically and after that it and Qt are not working anymore.
First it gave error "...Please save your solution before managing NuGet packages". After that "the project file was unloaded". But when I tried other projects the error changed to "Failed to locate: "CL.exe. The system cannot find the file specified". I tried to install some components VS 2015: "Control Panel > Programs >Programs and Features > Microsoft Visual Studio > 'modify' > Visual C++ components and install", but it shows this window: here

Did you try the first option in this window?

Rela

@jsulm
Yes, it worked and now MSVC 2015 is working, but not Qt. 5.5.
It gives error "Qt Creator needs a compiler set up to build. Configure a compiler in the kit options." in "Issues and in "Complie Output" the error "Configuration is faulty. Check the Issues view for details. Error while building/deploying project Circle2 (kit: Desktop Qt 5.5.1 MSVC2013 64bit) When executing step "Make". "

I installed "standalone SDK" from here here Downloaded and a folder "Windows kits" was built in the same folder. I copied it in "Visual studio 14" folder, and run the Qt again, but this is Build & Run. No active "Desktop Qt5.5. MCVS 2013 64 bit".

I dont know what the problem is? The kit should be MCVs 2105?

SGaist

I didn't realize… You changed Visual Studio's version in between. On Windows you can't mix and match compilers and libraries, Visual Studio's compilers are not compatible one with the other. So since you have the MSVC2013 Qt package, you have to use Visual Studio 2013 with it.

If you want to use Visual Studio 2015, you can either build Qt yourself, or go with the 5.6 beta which has VS2015 packages.

Thanks, which one do you recommend? I spent a lot of time on lunching and problem with running my programs until now because of components and compilers. If I uninstall 5.5 and install 6.5. beta, does Qt 6.5. work conveniently with Qt5.5. projects?

SGaist

You're too much in the future ;) It's 5.6

No problem using Qt 5.6 for project started with 5.5. Forward compatibility is one of Qt's guaranties.

I was going to uninstall it by opening "Maintenancetool.exe" > "Remove all components" but it gives this error in 92%...

SGaist

Unusual, but why not just update ?

Rela

@SGaist
I was going to work with Qt 5.6 beta with MVS2015. To have Qt 5.6 beta can I just update Qt 5.5? I clicked on update components in "Maintenancetool.exe" , is this the component I need?

SGaist

No, that's Qt Creator. It's the IDE.

IIRC, the 5.6 beta installer is available through your Qt Account page

Rela

@SGaist
If you mean through this link, the Qt5.5 should not be uninstalled first?

SGaist

There's also that link indeed. Since it's an offline installer, I don't remember whether it will overwrite the Qt folder or not

Rela

@SGaist
Is the installation way different from Qt5.5? Why does Qt5.6 give this error, while I installed Qt5.5 in the same folder?

SGaist

Don't put Qt in a path with white spaces, that will save you much trouble.

Rela

@SGaist
If you mean "program files'' it was the same folder I installed previous Qt5.5 and didnt give any message. By default Qt5.6 beta selects the C drive to install.

SGaist

That's what I mean. Avoid white spaces it's the best thing to do on Windows.
