Unsolved Can't build qt-creator from git
-
I can build Qt from git just fine. Both 5.13.2 and 5.14.2. But try as I may I am unable to build qt-creator from git no matter what git bracnch I try, I always get C++ compilation errors, either 4.11 or 4.12. I am on Fedora 32 using llvm/clang. At this stage I wont detain people with the errors, just wanting to get a high level understanding of what I am fundamentally missing. What is the correct version tag set fo Qt and qt-creator to get a successful build.
I don't see many messages here about this sort of failure, so I am very much scratching my head.
Happy to post error output on request.

@andro Did you see this: https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_Creator_from_Git ?
As you do not provide any details it is hard to say what the problem is. -
Thanks. I followed that precisely.
I didn't post the errors yet as I get a different failure with each different combination of git branches. What do versions do you use for a clean build?
-
@andro I do not build QtCreator by myself as there is no need for me to do so.
Any stable version should build as this is what QtCompany releases. -
Hi @andro,
There is a readme file in the source repo: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/README.md
I compile Creator myself often on Ubuntu 18.04, as I'm submitting patches to Creator.
I usually have a Qt version from the online installer (like 5.14.1) and just open
qtcreator.pro
in the installed Creator and then build. So far this runs very smoothly.I do, however exclude the QBS plugin and the Clang Code Model, as I don't have the corresponding development packages installed.
Maybe you want to try a build without clang first?
Regards
