Custom Executable problem when running.

[Azhar]

I want to create a GUI in Qt creator for a rqt plugin in ROS.

so to get myself familiarise, i clone a package from https://github.com/lucasw/rqt_mypkg/tree/master/rqt_example_cpp .

I am able to build this. However, when i press the run icon(the green play icon), a pop up screen of "custom executable" appears.

in the pop up, there are three blanks:
Executable :
Command line arguments:
Working directory:

Can someone please guide me on where to get the executable files and what to fill up the rest of the blanks.

I have browsed through forums and could not figure it out.

i found this answer in one of the forums but i dont know how to create this.
"You need to write a client executable (or use an existing executable) to use your library and specify the path in this dialog box."

I am using ubuntu 14.04 , Qtcreator 5.7.

Any help would be appreciated by this noob. Thank you

Hi Azhar,
The selected project([https://github.com/lucasw/rqt_mypkg/tree/master/rqt_example_cpp](link url) ) is plugin . so you will get generated as a dll. If you want to run this as a executable. You have to change the make file (.pro ).

Other wise follow the below link to run directly @ section 6.2
