Unsolved Building Qt from Sources using QtCreator
-
Hi! I downloaded the source code for Qt 5.8 Alpha, if I open main project file qt.pro in QtCreator and simply click on the F7, that would build, I will gather all the correct Qt build in the maximum configuration?
P.S.: i don't understand, how to build from command prompt :-) -
Did you check out the documentation for building from source for your OS?
This should explain the build from command prompt. ;) -

I did, but i wanna build from QtCreator :-) If i will build from QtCreator, this will be normal build ? :-)

I have not done this yet. However, it should be the default as with the config tools and no changes. Anything else would make no sense. -

i experienced myself that QtCreator doesn't follow all variables specified in the .pro file. At least i noticed it with the output path for example. This is overwritten with the one set in the QtCreator settings. -
OK, thanks for note.

So, what do you mean? Build Qt sources with QtCreator - bad idea? So sad...because it's so easy (using QtCreator without command prompt)

Hi,
You can't avoid the command line. There's the configure part that is mandatory that will build qmake and then the rest will be done.
Also, it's not a good idea to open the whole Qt project sources in Qt Creator like that. You'll be trying to load several tens of thousands files.
