Code::Blocks user trying QT

[grimvian]

QT seem okay intuitive for me. Made a setup choosing cmake, because I think it's using GCC, but I want to use GCC and C99. I can start a new project, compile, run and see the result. If I later starts QT and load the test file, QT complains about the file is not a part of any project...

I use Linux Mint and here is the System Information:
Qt 6.7.3 (x86_64-little_endian-lp64 shared (dynamic) release build; by GCC 13.2.0) on "xcb"
OS: KDE Flatpak runtime [linux version 5.15.0-126-generic]

What I'm doing wrong here?

What test file do you mean? You have to open the project, not just a source code file.

Thanks.

If I want to specify C99, pedantic and so on, where can I do that?

@grimvian In CMakeLists.txt

Assuming you mean you intend to write C code, not C++ (else why worry about C99?). Be aware that you won't be able to use any Qt libraries in this case. You can use Qt Creator to write a C-only program if you wish, but not one using Qt features.

@jsulm I feared that I had to deal with cmake. I used to make the settings by a mouse, but thanks.

@JonB I'm just interested in using QT as an IDE together with C99 and raylib graphics.
Thanks.

@grimvian That's fine, no problem, thought why Qt/Creator I'm not sure.

I need an IDE because I type and read as a broken arm. :) I had some go's with different IDE's and until now, I have not tried other that is so intuitive as QT yet. Sadly Code::Blocks seems to die slowly.

@grimvian Oh, I believe Qt Creator (that's what the IDE is) is known for fixing a broken arm, so all the best :)
