Run environment in Qt Creator
-
@aha_1980
I am able to build and run the examples, and also an application to test Qt3d functionality that I made from a couple of the examples.I set up a custom run configuration (thanks for explaining that), but when I run it, a couple of 'Permission denied' errors are generated, one apparently from execve, the other from fstat (unfortunately it does not seem to be possible to copy-and-paste from the terminal), so strace "exited with 1".

It is possible: mark text in terminal and press Ctrl-Shift-c to copy (to paste into terminal use Ctrl-Shift-v). Or use context menu of your terminal.
-
@gibbogle ok, so if the examples work, it must be your project.
Have you already wiped the build folder and .pro.user and rebuild your project?
Are you linking external libs?
Regards

When I do Ctrl-Shift-c all that happens is a ^C is displayed.
I'm not sure what the context menu of the terminal is. If I right-click at the top I just get Minimize, Maximize, Move etc.@gibbogle said in Run environment in Qt Creator:
If I right-click at the top I just get Minimize
not at the top, but inside the terminal.

@jsulm
Sorry, I'm still not with you, right-click inside the terminal just highlights text. Is it possible that I have a different terminal program from your one? In the list of Applications on Ubuntu 18.04 I see XTerm and UXTerm. They both behave the same way. Do they need to be configured to have the behaviour you describe? -

@gibbogle XTerm and UXTerm are not the standard terminals on default Ubuntu installation. You should try the one Ubuntu provides by default (I think it's the one from Gnome).
@jsulm
I'll have a look around, but these are the only ones that Ubuntu 18.04 shows in the list of installed apps (by clicking on the 3x3-dot-grid icon.) There are odd things about this version, e.g. I installed gedit, but it doesn't show up in the list.Edit: I had to install gnome-terminal, and I see that it provides some useful features.

Having another look at this:
Although I installed gnome-terminal, which supports copy-and-paste, when I run the Custom Executable in Qt Creator is still uses XTerm, which doesn't support copying.
When I run with Custom Executable a great number of messages are generated, and they don't mean much to me. I do see, however, reference to libraries in /usr/local/Qt-4.8.6/lib, and in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Neither of these directories is in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and I don't know why they are being searched. I do have Qt-4.8.6 installed. I am suspecting that somehow when invoked inside Creator, the program is doing something with 4.8.6 libraries, and this is causing the crash.
A reminder: the program runs correctly at a terminal. -

It looks like a few hundred lines, and unfortunately I can't copy and paste them, unless I can find a way to make Creator use the gnome terminal program. ...
OK, I just found out how to do that. This is horrendously long (more than 800 lines).Oh, there is a strict limit on the number of characters. I'll copy the first lines and the last lines.

There is something funny about the directories being searched. For example, in the above you can see:
/home/gib/bin/x86_64/libqwt.so.6
In fact that library is in /home/gib/bin, and there is no x86_64 subdirectory, in fact there are no subdirectories to /home/gib/bin.
In Projects > Build & Run > Run > Run Environment > Details I open a terminal by clicking Open Terminal, then inspect the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:gib@gigabyte:~$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/gib/Qt5.13.0/5.13.0/gcc_64/lib:/home/gib/qwt-6.1.3/lib:/home/gib/bin:/home/gib/OpenCMISS/opencmiss/install/lib:/home/gib/binYou'll see that /home/gib/bin appears twice. That's because I found that I had to add the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH with value /home/gib/bin to the Run environment, because otherwise the execution fails with the message that libqwt.so.6 cannot be found. This makes no sense to me, because /home/gib/bin is already in the path. I suspect that this odd behaviour is related to the crashing. It is as if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is somehow being corrupted.
Edit: I forgot to mention that libqwt.so.6 is in /home/gib/bin.
