Re: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator and generic projects
People, calm down a little. I myself felt somewhat attacked by Danny's mail ... the problem at hand has been discussed at great length already on this list, and his mail did seem to have no other purpose than ranting. Yes, qmake is under-documented. Yes, .pro.user session files cannot really be shared, which some of us would like to do. But we (as the core developers) have other things on the plate too, and in fact things that have a higher priority. That's life. But I'm with Daniel in the regard that bringing this up again and again, and in the form of a rant, doesn't help anyone.

Because Danny Price is correct - the current session scheme/.user files is *useless* in a team environment. The only way to make projects work that contain multiple libs and build steps is to hack the .pro file, a mechanism that is both poorly documented and poorly understood. I tell my team to avoid the Project tab because the settings within cannot be shared - a serious problem for us developers trying to get a job done. As a real-world user of your product I am shocked and saddened by your aggressive response. You should listen to our complaints instead of dismissing them as 'wrong' and 'stupid'.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator and generic projects
OK, apparently none of you guys actually understood my initial question. I'm trying to construct an external Makefile project. I'd be perfectly happy with hacking around in a .pro file if that was actually an option, but it isn't. Am I just stuck? All I really need is for Qt Creator to explicitly support an empty builddir spec in the .creator.user format, and make the abs-pathing internal and temporary (not saved back to the file). That single fix will make me a very happy user. On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 7:30 AM, Robert Caldecott robert.caldec...@gmail.com wrote: So in other words, I'd you don't like it, go take a running jump.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator and generic projects
Actually, I've been debugging it myself, and not knowing the code better, it seems pretty deeply rooted. The implementation of Qt4BuildConfiguration::buildDirectory() does the same. The implementation of CMakeBuildConfiguration::buildDirectory() looks different, but is effectively the same, since cmakeTarget()-cmakeProject()-sourceDirectory() also returns an abs-path. I think a more ideal and generic solution would be to allow for relative paths anchored on the project file. That could actually help satisfy many of the complaints in this thread, I would think. This would probably require a distinction between the user-entered build dir, with possible relative paths, and the build dir used by project-building functionality, which apparently is most happy with abs-paths for everything. If a new interface (maybe userBuildDirectory() was used for re-initing the project fields (GenericBuildSettingsWidget::init), but everything else used the existing buildDirectory() interface, that seems like it would work fine. How this would map to the other projectmanager implementations is beyond me. 2010/3/12 Thorbjørn Lindeijer thorbjorn.lindei...@nokia.com On 03/12/2010 05:19 PM, ext Bryce Schober wrote: OK, apparently none of you guys actually understood my initial question.
