How to build the project Qt Designer from source code in Qt Creator?

[Amry]

Hi All,

I am quite new to Qt environment.
And would like to try out something.

What I want is to build the Qt Designer project in Qt Creator.
I have installed Qt Creator 3.0.0.
And I have downloaded qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.zip.

I started the Qt Creator and build the project, and opened qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4/tools/designer/designer.pro

It parses without any error.
And when I start Run button,
I got this compile output:

In file included from ../../../designer/src/lib/uilib/abstractformbuilder.cpp:42:0:
../../../designer/src/lib/uilib/abstractformbuilder.h:51:29: fatal error: QtGui/QSizePolicy: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [abstractformbuilder.o] Error 1

I have found this file in qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4/include/QtGui/QSizePolicy

I guess, it should add it. But I do not know why it is not finding it.

Any help will be appreciated.

If anyone knows different source code for Qt Designer where I can build in Qt Creator, would be also nice.

The main purpose for me, is to change/add some code to the source code of Qt Designer to fit my interest.

Thanks in advance.

You are trying to build the Qt 4 version of Designer against Qt 5. You need to either have a Qt 4 version set up and build against that or you check out the Qt 5 version of Designer etc. The best way for that is probably to build all of Qt 5 from source (including Qt Creator).
