Getting Qt Creator setup properly

tobias.hunger

Creator's wizard does setup a project with an empty MainWindow. No Actions or other fancy stuff there!

It might be an example or demo that you loaded, but that is something completely different!

lyuts

Oh, to tell the truth I thought that the code has been modified.

hdevine,

open you project in Qt Creator, then got to Projects->Build settings, find there which Qt version is used for building this project.
Did you add you recently built Qt via Tools -> Options -> Qt4 ?

hdevine

The QT version says "Qt in PATH". When I check Tools->Options->Qt4, I get the following:

Auto-detected
Qt in Path /usr/bin/qmake-qt4
Manual
Qt 4.6.3 OpenSource /opt/qtsdk-2010.04/qt/bin/qmake

Sorry if these seem like dumb questions. I'm feeling my away around Qt after being a Windows/MFC/Developer Studio programmer for over 10 years.

I bet your Qt in Path has version < 4.6. The item QKeySequence::Quit appeared in QKeySequence::StandardKey enum only in Qt 4.6 (according to documentation). Modify the build settings for your project in Qt Creator and explicitly tell it to use Qt 4.6.3.

hdevine

When I do that, it says "This Qt version is invalid" next to the Qt version drop down box (which says Qt 4.6.3 OpenSource at the moment). So, how do I get the Creator to see a valid Qt version?

Harry

lyuts

This is means that Qt 4.6.3 has not been registered correctly.
Please show the output of the following cmd

$ ls -l/opt/qtsdk-2010.04/qt/bin

I started looking back at this again today, and I see that the Qt4 section in Qt Creator says "Qt version is not properly installed, please run make install". So, when I do that in the area where I have the 4.6.3 source, I get the following compile error:

I did some Googling and saw a suggestion to make sure that the gstreamer headers are installed. I'm running 32 bit Fedora 11 and I have the gstreamer stuff installed already from what I can tell. Any ideas?

Harry

lyuts

The directory with gstreamer headers should be passed via -I flag during compilation. Something like

-I/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10

This can be done in .pro file by adding this path to INCLUDEPATH.

hdevine

It appears like I don't have the gstreamer headers. I don't see anything like that under /usr/include on my system. I also tried to look for gst.h (which was mentioned in the output above) and I don't have that either. Do you know what package I need to install to get those headers?

Thanks,
Harry

lyuts

The name can vary a little bit depending on your distro. But i think it should be easy for you to figure out the correct name since the package name should have a suffix 'dev' or 'devel'. For openSUSE it is gstreamer-0_10-devel.

hdevine

OK, I got it working finally. I installed the gstreamer-devel package for Fedora 11, redownloaded the SDK, and rebuilt the source. Then I told QT Creator to use the newly build source and the demos build. Now its time to start learning Qt!

Thanks,
Harry

Great, have fun!

hello
i had same problem but now i think i can fix it
