[Qt-creator] Error building debug helper, MSVC Static
When I click "rebuild" for the debug helper for a static build of Qt using MSVC 2008 and Creator 2.0, I get the error below. This is probably because the debugger doesn't support static build of Qt, Qt Creator should know this and display an error like "Debugging helper not supported for static Qt builds."

[Qt-creator] ActiveQt and MinGW
Apologies for posting this here guys but I am struggling to find the definitive answer to this and a Creator guru may know the answer. I am trying to develop a COM server using the latest Qt/Qt Creator SDK and the MinGW toolchain. My first issue was that the code fails to build because I didn't have a copy of the MS MIDL compiler. I installed the latest MS Windows SDK and now MIDL runs but complains because it can't find cl.exe (the MS compiler). So I downloaded Visual Studio Express and added cl.exe to the PATH and now the MIDL step works but I get an 'Failed to register application' error (I am building the ActiveQt comapp sample). So ... can I build ActiveQt apps using MinGW or will I have to use the MS toolchain (and the appropriate MSVC 2008 build of Qt)? I develop on different machines and would like to avoid MSVC if possible but I think I'm out of luck... I wondered if it is possible to have MIDL use gcc instead? If this is possible then I'm not sure how I'd edit my .pro file to change the MIDL steps. ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator

[Qt-creator] Printing directly to the printer instead of PDF or PS creation
Hello, I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 and installed the latest SDK with QtCreator 2.0. I have many source files to print and hoped to find a better method than the pdf file generation to print a source file. I have many pages to print and the pdf file is laborious, though I like the output format. Is there a way to configure QtCreator to print directly to a printer ?

For those of you using the master branch: Double-clicking on the path in the target setup page of the wizard does switch between shadow build (default) and in-source build.

Creator itself confounds this by providing overly simple templates. I had to turn to google to figure out how to setup basic things like library links, include paths and change-dependencies. These are functions that the IDE should provide. Better wizards would go a long way to helping here (eg. a Wizard for setting up a library link capable of setting up the pro file 'properly' and a SUBDIR wizard). > > Of course, I can sympathize with the problems many are having now and > the lack of documentation.

Since these are indeed products of your build, the proper way to refer to them is probably by doing it relative from $$OUT_PWD: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qmake-variable-reference.html#out-pwd > Is the assumption being made that OBJECTS_DIR, UI_DIR, and others should > always be relative paths?

If I am missing > something, please explain in more detail how setting the shadow build dir "is > quite different from setting OBJECTS_DIR, UI_DIR, etc." I think they should really always be relative, yes. I'm not sure what the use-case would be of using absolute paths. A properly written .pro file should indeed not break when using shadow builds. Of course, I can sympathize with the problems many are having now and the lack of documentation. It was a hard choice to make between breaking some projects by doing shadow builds by default (which can generally be fixed), or not being able to support building against different Qt configurations properly (desktop, Maemo, S60, Simulator, etc.) Of course, maybe it still makes sense to have an option to disable the "shadow-build by default" thing for those not interested in building for different targets.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator 2.0 does not load my old .user file
Using a shadow build breaks my .pro file on Mac because my project uses SUBDIRS to build some frameworks, and then builds the final .app. In the .app I include those frameworks as private frameworks. The rule to add those frameworks looks something like this: PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS.files = ../Framework1/Framework1.framework ../Framework2/Framework2.framework In this case, the ../ is interpreted by the build as relative to the source directory, not the shadow build directory. But those frameworks are created in the shadow build directory. What is the proper method to specify those paths so they will be relative to the build directory whether it is a shadow build or not? Perhaps cases like this are the reason for the negative reactions I have seen for shadow builds. Shadow builds can indeed break projects if the projects are not defined carefully enough. And until shadow builds became so prominent in Qt Creator, it was not apparent that anything was amiss in the .pro file. I like the idea of shadow builds, but some good documentation would be helpful. The only mention of shadow builds I can find is in the Windows CE section. And it only discusses doing shadow builds of Qt by running configure in each shadow build directory. I can find nothing on how to properly configure my .pro file for shadow builds of my product.

Qt Creator simply mimics the way you use qmake in this regard. You've always had the option of doing a shadow build in a different directory by simply doing something like: $ mkdir build $ cd build $ qmake /path/to/myprofile.pro I frequently use this method to test builds with different Qt versions. That Qt Creator allows you to set the directory in which to do the build should not be a surprise, nor should it be surprising that this is stored in a .user file, since its up to each developer. Note that this is quite different from setting OBJECTS_DIR, UI_DIR, etc. so there is no duplication here. The main purpose of the shadow builds is to build against different Qt configurations. That it also keeps your source directory clean is only a pleasant side-effect.
