Getting a .pro file to work for both Visual Studio 2008 and Qt Creator

scarleton

The .pro file:

@# Add more folders to ship with the application, here
folder_01.source = qml/SalesCenter
folder_01.target = qml
DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS = folder_01

Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Creator's code model

QML_IMPORT_PATH =

Avoid auto screen rotation

#DEFINES += ORIENTATIONLOCK

Needs to be defined for Symbian

QT += sql
CONFIG += debug_and_release
DEFINES += QT_LARGEILE_SUPPORT QT_SQL_LIB _USE_32BIT_TIME_T NETWORKACCESS
QTPLUGIN += qjpeg
INCLUDEPATH += ./../../../../include ./GeneratedFiles .
PRECOMPILED_HEADER = stdafx.h
UI_DIR += ./GeneratedFiles
RCC_DIR += ./GeneratedFiles

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
DESTDIR = ../Debug
LIBS += -L../Debug
OBJECTS_DIR += Debug
MOC_DIR += ./GeneratedFiles/Debug
INCLUDEPATH += ./GeneratedFiles/Debug
} else {
DESTDIR = ../Release
LIBS += -L../Release
OBJECTS_DIR += Release
MOC_DIR += ./GeneratedFiles/Release
INCLUDEPATH += ./GeneratedFiles/Release
}

symbian:TARGET.UID3 = 0xE46A320F

Smart Installer package's UID

This UID is from the protected range

and therefore the package will fail to install if self-signed

By default qmake uses the unprotected range value if unprotected UID is defined for the application

and 0x2002CCCF value if protected UID is given to the application

#symbian:DEPLOYMENT.installer_header = 0x2002CCCF

Define QMLJSDEBUGGER to allow debugging of QML in debug builds

(This might significantly increase build time)

DEFINES += QMLJSDEBUGGER

If your application uses the Qt Mobility libraries, uncomment

the following lines and add the respective components to the

MOBILITY variable.

CONFIG += mobility

MOBILITY +=

The .cpp file which was generated for your project. Feel free to hack it.

Please do not modify the following two lines. Required for deployment.

include(qmlapplicationviewer/qmlapplicationviewer.pri)
qtcAddDeployment()

include(SalesCenter.pri)@

Do you get the error during opening or compilation?

scarleton

compilation

tobias.hunger

Sorry, where is the actual error in that output? I only see a couple of warnings.

There is a undocumented qgetenv in the QtCore/QtGlobal header by the way:-)

scarleton

Why is it sometime folks cannot see the obvious! It is working fine, the error message I get from running it is my applications obscure message that the correct command line parameters where not passed in. Now to figure out how to set command line options for debugging!

giesbert

For QtCreator:

Go to Projects --> run settings --> add the parameters you need :-)

For MSVS

Go To vcproj properties --> debug --> add the command line parameters

Gerolf, maybe it is funny, but after several months developing on Qt, few days ago I have started to write a command line tool and it took me several hours to find this setting in Qt Creator... :)

giesbert

I also looked longer for those options the first time. also how to change the project build parameters :-)

Sorry, I cannot see any kind of error message. At worst some compiler warnings.

Scarleton, VCsala: Any ideas for a better place to put those settings? I thought the place they are now is rather obvious...

vcsala

After all it is obvious, it was my fault, as I was developing in different environments for years and it took some time to regain my aquaintance with these kind of IDE tools.

The very first place I looked for it was by right clicking on the very root of the solution tree and looked for Project Settings.

What would be cool is if that option exists and when the user clicked on it that way, the <Projects> button on the left would flash as it became active to draw folks attention to it. Hopefully one or two times folks would get with the program.

That's right for us MSVS people. But how is it for KDE or other IDEs?
Personally, I like context menus and options there and it could help to have an additional entry forwarding to the projects page, yes.

tobias.hunger

scarleton: I actually like that idea:-) I'll look into it once I find some time to do so. I am currently a bit busy refactoring some code and want to get that done first.

Maybe you could file your suggestion in our "issue tracker":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ so it won't be forgotten?

Exactly, this is what I missed at the beginning, right clicking on a project and reach all related properties.

goetz

+1 for a menu entry "Go to project settings" which does switch to the project view of creator and switches there to the currently selected project.

tobias.hunger

Create an entry in the bug tracker and vote for it instead of going "+1" here...

vsorokin

Tobias Hunger, I do it. Link: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-3419

giesbert

ok, voted for it.

vcsala

I have voted on it.
