My first console C++ program on Qt Creator

@SGaist

What are the preferences choices for console C++ programming on the code model section, please?
How to find a way to be rid of these bothersome issues and go on programming?

As I said in my previous post, you can disable the Clang Code Model clicking Help > About Plugins... and unchecking C++ > Clang Code Model

Thanks so much. It removed the majority of the red underlines.
Only two lines remain!

One more thing: Why does the IDE think I'm C coding while I explicitly told it by choosing "plain C++" that I would be coding on C++?

I don't know. It works fine for me on Windows.

It might be related to your Kit settings (this is just a guess).

Kids are only the Desktop kit:

By the way, I'm on Linux. Have you tried a plain C++ project on Linux to see if there are those red underlines or not?

Hi! I think the problem is with your compiler, try setting it as g++ not gcc.

For example, using MinGW on Windows (compiler path is ....\g++.exe):

Unfortunately, I don't have a Linux machine with a recent version of Qt and Qt Creator.

One thing you could try is to create a Qt Console Application, then remove Qt from the .pro file.

Is it on Linux, please?
The options are different between Windows and Linux.

I don't think that Qt Creator is different on Linux and Windows. Check: Tools -> Options -> Kits -> Compilers. Then select your compiler and click Browse. Your compiler should be "..\g++.exe" or something similar to it. Check if it's available for you.

There is no g++ unfortunately.

[SGaist]

Do you mean you only have gcc installed ?
In that case, install g++.

@SGaist
I've that installed in its newest version on the machine.

[SGaist]

Can you show what the kit you are using looks like ?

If you have it installed, click the Add button to navigate and add the g++ compiler to Qt Creator.

Note:
Make sure you know the path to g++ compiler on your system.

Thanks so much to you both.
The problem was with the kits. I defined gcc for the C++ compiler and it removed the redundant stuff from the code.
