QTCreator & self compiled clang (llvm): clang kit not autodetected (Debian linux)?

alexqt143

Hi all,

I plan to use QTCreator as IDE for some llvm related coding and as a first step would like to replace 'Desktop QT 5.4.0 GCC 64 bit' kit by clang.

I installed qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.6.0-7-online,
and compiled and installed recent llvm&clang (following "gettingStarted":http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html)

What do I need to do in order to have clang kit to show up under QTCreator>Tools>Build&Run>Kits>autodetect?

Do I have to configure it manually?

Note: I compiled llvm&clang using configure, make, not cmake.
Do I have to use cmake? Do I need to tell the llvm build to generate someting special for QTCreator?

THX
Alex

My setup:
debian wheezy
QTCreator from prebuild Desktop QT 5.4.0 GCC 64 bit
recent llvm&clang from svn branch

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You won't have it under autodetect. You have to create a kit yourself where you set the compiler to your custom clang.

Ok,
thanks.
Do I follow "the standard docu":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.6/creator-targets.html?
Does anyone have done this and could post the settings? Just to be sure not to mess-up things? Thx!

One goal would be to visually debug llvm pass codes.
Regarding the usage of gdb, I found: "this":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2226112/debugging-an-llvm-pass-with-gdb
Could this be mapped on QTCreator? Where to start? Any traps?

Thx
Alex

That one, plus the compiler part where you can add your custom clang

Ok, thank you!

You're welcome !

Got it working ?

Not yet, have been testing to link against llvm/clang and using clang code model for llvm related developement / debugging. Switching to clang compiler is on the list for the next days!
