Recommendation: Add a class view window to the Qt Creator

[TwoGunBerg]

Hi all;

I'm relatively new to Qt, only used it for about two months. We have just decided to start using Qt Creator as opposed to Eclipse for our dev IDE, mainly because we had a problem being able to debug into dlls. but that's a topic for another discussion. Most of the dev i have done in the past has been with MS Visual Studio. During my experimenting with Qt Creator i noticed that it doesn't have a class view. I would happily recommend adding a class view window to the creator. i have found this a huge help in my development.

I have good news for you: Qt Creator has a class view in the master branch.

We further added a type hierarchy view and a outline view (basically a class view limited to the currently opened file).

[TwoGunBerg]

That is awesome news!

Will this be in version 2.1?

[tobias.hunger]

Yeap, 2.1 will be based on what currently is in master.

Feel free to "grab the sources":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator and try it. That way you can still get things fixed in time for 2.1:-)

Tobias, can you say when 2.1 snapshots will be available?

[tobias.hunger]

I do not know.

Some maintainance of the build servers (OS updates, update dependencies, etc.) is needed before we can switch the branches.

[TwoGunBerg]

is there instructions some place on how to compile qtcreator on the windows platform?

[tobias.hunger]

TwoGunBerg: Creator is build like any other Qt application using qmake. Be advised that Qt Creator will need Qt 4.7RC (or later of course).

Baiscally all you need to do is "qmake qtcreator.pro" followed by "nmake" (or "make"). Of course you need to run these commands in a shell set up to find your compilers, etc.

Thanks Tobias!

You've been a great help!
