I'm back with a GPU.. Qt Creator still not working
-
@Tink Ok I'm here to find a solution to my problem, not discuss the clarity of the documentation. I guess the part about kits didn't come up in my google searches of "how to add a kit to qt creator".

If your qt creator works, neither Designer nor Qt Design Studio is mandatory for your GUI design while they should work. Actually, I do not use both of them now although I have used Qt for some years.run the following command to check if something is missing(especially plugins)

strace qtcreatorwrote on 22 Mar 2024, 14:15 last edited by Mlibu@JoeCFD Yes I have done a lot of QML manually but this time I want to have a lot more visual asthetic in my interface so I was really hoping to use creator to tie the signals to the ui etc. I will try the strace.
I have not heard good things about Qt Design Studio but I guess I will use it in the end if it gives me a visual and it works. Don't know how easy it is to work with C++ behind it though.

@Mlibu any good reasons for using Manjaro? I doubt Qt folks test Qt in all Linux distributions.

I already asked OP about this, requesting he try something we know lots of us use like Ubuntu. If you scroll back to about https://forum.qt.io/topic/155232/i-m-back-with-a-gpu-qt-creator-still-not-working/59 he repliedI have already tried Manjaro/KDE and Ubuntu/Gnome. Both with the package managers and with the unified installer.
If he is having his problem on Ubuntu/GNOME I don't know why his situation is apparently different from others.

But like person before me said, I tried Ubuntu 23.10 and it did the same thing for me. Some people have suggested that I try Ubuntu 20.02 but I haven't had a chance yet.

@Mlibu is your project compiling with qt6?
wrote on 22 Mar 2024, 14:55 last edited by Mlibu@Ronel_qtmaster Yes I can compile it with 6.6.0. Also the red square that I can't see on the screen appears in the window when it executes.

Ok so none of the packages on any other OS are even guaranteed to be working? Wow.
I'll try it on Windows 10 again then. I googled many times on "requirements for Qt creator". I guess I should have searched on "requirements for qt6".
I didn't want to do it on my mac because that requires all kinds of xcode library stuff and then it always breaks every time you have to upgrade xcode.

wrote on 22 Mar 2024, 15:16 last edited by Mlibu@Ronel_qtmaster Thanks, this is very helpful. Though I am not enthusiastic about any of those OSes. Maybe I will just make a small partition for it. Reboot is quick now with SSDs anyway. I did try on windows 10 but it may have been pre-1809. I didn't think this would depend on a certain version of windows.

wrote on 22 Mar 2024, 16:45 last edited by@Ronel_qtmaster So I went to my windows 10 disk and updated it fully. I am now at version 22H2.
I downloaded the unified installer, selected the Windows Development Environment box and installed it. When I create a project I cannot go to the design page until I install the Qt Quick designer plugin. When I do install the plugin and go to the design page I drag a rectangle onto the page and select red background and it crashes seconds later.

@Mlibu I am using Qt 5.15.3/6.6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 daily at work. I have Ubuntu 23.04 at home. No issues.

Then i go to help, plugins and enable qmldesigner by clicking on the checkbox and after on ok.Don't click on install anywaythey will ask you to restart qt do it

wrote on 22 Mar 2024, 17:49 last edited by Mlibu@Ronel_qtmaster But I think you need the plugin for it to interface with design studio. And anyway I was told that it is different than design studio. Regardless, on updated windows 10 I can only get to the page if I install the plugin and it still doesn't work.
