Difference between .pro and CMakeLists.txt
-
Hi,
Just getting used to Qt.
So, I've been coding away on something and there are Headers, footers and forms.
Above these (below the Project name) is a .pro file.So, when I go to create a new Qt Widgets application, instead of following the format as above, there is:
MainWindow class
mainwindow.h,
mainwindow.cpp
mainwindow.ui.There is not, however, a Projectname.pro.
Instead there's a CMakeLists.txt file.
Also, when I try to add another form, it seems to exist somewhere but doesn't show in the project list and I can't edit it.Also, there is a sub-folder in the Project Explorer of "CMake Modules" that is not present in my other projects.
Did I somehow select something different when I created this project?
Thanks,
Uberlinc

You're using Qt6 which switched from qmake to cmake and therefore now there is a CMakeLists.txt instead a pro-file.

Ah!
That explains it!So, then what do I do that's different?
I am trying to do a simple second window application.
When I add a new Qt Designer Form Class, it doesn't add the new files in the Project Explorer.
Is there something else I'm meant to do?Thanks.

You have to add it by yourself to the CMakeLists.txt
