Debugging Exception -> Qt Creator + VTK + MSVC + QMake
-
Hi,
I have made a VTK+Qt build using QMake and Qt Creator. After days of trying I have successfully managed to run the SimpleView example (https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/tree/master/Examples/GUI/Qt/SimpleView) in both Debug and Release builds.
Here is my .pro file (sorry a bit long).

you can see the only way I could find to get it to work for both debug and release builds was to use CONIFG (debug, debug|release) and CONFIG (release, debug|release) to conditionally link to the release or debug libraries, and NOT both.
Is this the right way to do this?
Is there a simpler way rather than listing out all the libs?
Is this fix a symptom of a bigger issue?NOTE: I have built VTK in both release and debug.
Thank you,
Ahmed

https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qmake-variable-reference.html
something like the following?
build_pass:CONFIG(debug) {
unix: LIBS += -Lvtk_debug_path
}
build_pass:CONFIG(release) {
unix: LIBS += -Lvtk_release_path
}the lib names may not change.
LIBS += -lvtk1 -lvtk2 .... -
Thanks. Do you know if there is an alternative to listing out all the libraries?

@AhmedAlshawi I would prefer to add the ones needed. Try to make your app as small as possible.

The simplest way is to use CMake to configure your project instead of a .pro file and qmake. That example even includes a CMakeLists.txt file for you to use. QtCreator supports CMake-based projects and Qt has switched to using it as its primary build system for developing Qt.
