[Tutorial] How to set up Urho3D (Shared, MinGW) in Qt Creator IDE

8Observer8

It is so simple to set up Urho3D-1.7.1 in Qt Creator IDE on Windows 10:

Download and install Open Source Qt MinGW: https://www.qt.io/download-open-source
Download and unzip " Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED.zip", for example, to "E:/Libs" folder
Run Qt Creator and create a new project: "File" > "New File or Project" > "Other Project" > "Empty qmake Project" > click the "Choose..." button > type a name of project, for example: Urho3D_QtCreator > click "Next" > "Next" > "Finish"
Create a "main.cpp" file and copy this code to it:

#include <Urho3D/Engine/Application.h>
#include <iostream>

class MyApp : public Urho3D::Application
{
public:
    MyApp(Urho3D::Context * context) : Urho3D::Application(context)
    {
    }

    virtual void Setup()
    {
        std::cout << "Setup" << std::endl;
    }
};

URHO3D_DEFINE_APPLICATION_MAIN(MyApp)

Copy these settings to the .pro file:

Urho3D_QtCreator.pro

CONFIG += c++11

INCLUDEPATH += "E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\include\Urho3D\ThirdParty"

INCLUDEPATH += "E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\include"
LIBS += -L"E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\lib\Urho3D"
LIBS += -lUrho3D -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -lSetupapi -ladvapi32 -lwinmm -limm32 -lversion -lws2_32 -ldbghelp -lopengl32 -liphlpapi

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

Run the project by pressing on the green triangle button in left bottom corner (or Ctrl + R). You will see this error:
To solve this error you need to copy two folders "CoreData" and "Data" from here “E:\Libs\Urho3D-1.7.1-MinGW-SHARED\share\Urho3D\Resources” to the "debug" folder where your .exe is located
Run the project again and it works.

The development of Urho3D has been discontinued. The official repository was archived by the owner on 01/25/2023. The official forum has been removed and moved to archive. In readme on the official repository it is written that two active forks were formed from Urho3D: Dviglo and Turso3D:

Active work on the engine without maintaining backward compatibility is being done in the fork Dviglo.

The founder of Urho3D (Lasse Öörni) is currently working on Turso3D.
