Qt Creator is not showing up the Qt source code submodule(qt3d,qtactiveqt, etc) files

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 5.11
./init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebkit,-qtwebkit-examples,-qtwebengine
git pull
git submodule update
mkdir ~/qt-build
cd ~/qt-build
../qt5/configure -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license
make -j4

@Vinod-Kuntoji said in Qt Creator is not showing up the Qt source code submodule(qt3d,qtactiveqt, etc) files:

I tried these following steps:

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git

cd qt5
git checkout 5.11

./init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebkit,-qtwebkit-examples,-qtwebengine

git pull

git submodule update

mkdir ~/qt-build

cd ~/qt-build

../qt5/configure -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license

make -j4

The steps look OK.

What is the problem?

@JKSH ,
I can able to build the source code using make command. but I am facing some problems while building the source code in qt creator.
Qt creator is showing only the submodule .pro files, but not showing their header and source files.

Hi,

That sounds strange but, in any case, you shouldn't try to open the complete Qt source tree in any editor be it Qt Creator or any other. There are literally tens of thousands of files to open/analyse.

You should rather only open the module that you would like to work on. This will avoid you to waste system resources.
