[Qt-creator] This week in Creator
Hello everybody! We are still preparing for the upcoming 2.1 release, so everybody here is either testing or fixing issues. Noteworthy improvements are: * Creator now lists all Qt Quick examples * QML text editor was sped up. Please file a bug report if you you consider it to be sluggish still. * Handling of encodings when searching files was improved in the 2.1 branch. Most work happened in the 2.1 branch this week with some of the more intrusive patches being submitted to the mater branch. It is available here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator Binary snapshots of Qt Creator are available here: ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/snapshots/2010-10-25/ Please file bug reports and feature requests in our bugtracker available here: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ Thanks!

I agree with him that by adding support of enviornmental variables in .user file we are actually making it shareable. No, this change does not make a .user-file shareable! It helps a bit, but it is not the solution to the problem. Especially Qt versions used, etc. are not portable. It might actually work rather well for generic projects though. But I guess our ultimate requirement should be move build/run settings out of the .user file so that we can share it on CVS. Comments ? Why do you want to share build-/deploy-/runconfigurations? Those are inherently environment specific. YOu are using generic projects, aren't you? Some way to enable those projects to provide more information so that some build- and runconfigurations can be auto-setup would be nice to have.

[Qt-creator] This week in Qt Creator
Hello! This week we got a rather short list of big noteworthy stuff: ---++ Wizards * All the New Project Wizards were polished for Symbian and Maemo development. The application wizards for mobile devices can now enable optional orientation locking, add some boilerplate code to handle application icons and add the network capability (Symbian). ---++ Quick support * Find Usages was implemented for QML files. ---++ C++ Support * Support for snippets was ported over into the C++ text editor. This feature has been available in the QML editor for a while now. Note that snippet support is not yet feature complete (E.g. it is currently not possible to edit the snippets inside creator!). See http://share.ovi.com/media/tobias.hunger.mymedia/tobias.hunger.10006 for an idea of what it does already. * Environment variables can now get used when defining Build-, Deploy- and RunConfigurations. They are available for the workdirectory, commandline arguments as well as the command itself. This feature was requested by quite a few people. * Creator will now set BUILDDIR and SOURCEDIR environment variables in the build environment. Those are useful now that the environmant variables can get used. The usual bugfixes happened and small changes happened as well. All work happened on the master branch available here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator Please feel free to give it a try:-) Please report any issues you run into or suggestions for improvements here: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ Best Regards, Tobias -- Tobias Hunger Software Engineer Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks Nokia gate5 GmbH Firmensitz: Invalidenstr. 117, 10115 Berlin, Germany Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Berlin: HRB 106443 B Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE 812 845 193 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Michael Halbherr, Karim Tähtivuori ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator

This is going to completely kill my usage scenario if it continues. What is you usage scenario? From our point of view we are not continuing, but just made our users aware about something that has never worked before. We had lots of complaints about trouble due to sharing a .user-file. Since there is little we can do to make it share better we had to at least provide a warning. Maybe this is just one of those you're not our customer situations, but it's pretty disappointing. Now generic project support is even more of an orphan than it was. We are willing to accept merge requests to improve any part of creator including the different build system integrations. Unfortunately we do not have much time ourselves to improve the generic project support:-( Some of us are using the generic project to contribute to open source projects that are not qmake based, so it is regularly excersied and tested and we do make sure to not break those use cases.

[Qt-creator] The last two weeks in Creator
Hello! We managed to skip last weeks report (again), so today we have two weeks worth of changes for you: ---++ Nokia Qt SDK * Nokia Qt SDK version 1.0.1 was released. It includes Qt Creator 2.0.1. See: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/09/14/nokia-qt-sdk-101-released/ ---++ Designer * Support for QIcon::theme was added to Designer: Use the icons from your preferred theme! This will become available in Qt 4.8. ---++ Generic * Creator can now auto-restore the last open session. This can be done either globally via the UI (File-Session-Session Manager, check Restore last session there) or for the next start only via the command line switch -lastsession. * Generic Highlighting and what it can do was blogged about: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/09/16/generic-highlighter-in-qt-creator/ ---++ Qmake * Project wizards were extended to make the generated .pro-files more usable for use in SUBDIRS pro-files. * New wizard to help with adding new library dependencies to .pro-files. ---++ Symbian * Deployment of shared libraries to Symbian devices should finally work. Some wizard to set up the deployment-related .pro-file section still needs to get added. * Deployment of SUBDIRS projects to Symbian devices does work now. ---++ Maemo * QML and Mobile wizards were steamlined and improved for Maemo development. ---++ Debugging * The thread list in the debugger can now display thread names. One source of those names is the objectName ot QThreads. * Loading of gdb was optimized (Linux only). ---++ Documentation * Many new features found in QtCreator master were documented. Check your documentation for all the awesomeness;-) ---++ Nightly Builds * Our build system infrastructure was much improved. * Nightly builds of the master branch are now available at: ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/snapshots/ All work (except for the Designer part!) happened on the master branch available here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator Please feel free to give it a try:-) Please report any issues you run into or suggestions for improvements here: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ Best Regards, Tobias -- Tobias Hunger Software Engineer Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks Nokia gate5 GmbH Firmensitz: Invalidenstr. 117, 10115 Berlin, Germany Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Berlin: HRB 106443 B Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE 812 845 193 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Michael Halbherr, Karim Tähtivuori ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator

Re: [Qt-creator] Get the type of project (qmake, cmake, ...) and the list of files in the project

I mean, is it a project based on QMake, based on CMake, etc. Each (type of) project has an id which is used to create and restore it. So this can be used to identify the type of project. The id is available by calling the id() method on any project (or anything connected to projects;-). And I need to have a list of all the files in the project to see if a certain file already exists. The rootProjectNode() method on project should provide you the top level node of the project. You should be able to extract a file list by traversing the nodes. This is something I can also do without the help of other Qt Creator plugins, but I think it would be nicer to use already existing functionality. How would you do that? Just traversing the filesystem is not good since you can run into files not part of the project and you do not want to act on those. How can I access this information?

[Qt-creator] TaskList plugin
Hello! I just commited a little plugin I wrote yesterday evening into our master branch. The plugin enables loading of files ending in .tasks. Each line in it is treated as a tab-separated list of strings (with \t, \n and \\ used as escape characters) and those values are used to create one Task per line. Currently it accepts lines of the following form: description type\tdesciption file\ttype\description file\tline\ttype\tdescription (With the task's type being set to error (red stop-sign icon) if the type starts with err, to warning (yellow triangle icon) if it starts with warn (both are case insensitive) and Unknown (no icon) for any other value). Lines starting with the '#' character (in the first column!) are ignored. These tasks become available in the Build issues view inside creator (Category is My tasks). You can now navigate those tasks from that file like the compile issues. This is a great help if you are running code checking tools and need to follow up on their reports:-) So if you are using tools like krazy, coverty, lint, etc. please write and share scripts to generate tasks lists from their reports.

[Qt-creator] This week in creator
Hello again! This is a short summary of what happened in creator this week: ---+++ General: * The MSVC parser was improved: It should now provide more context information than before and will keep the error codes visible in the build issues it generates. * Polishing VCS support * support for CVS edit was added * branches are now supported in the git checkout wizard ---+++ Project Management: * Project tree now shows files that will be deployed together with the application * A new Qt4-project based QML wizard is taking shape. It will ease integration of QML and C++ code into one project. Currently the new wizard supports most of the features of the existing QML project wizard. The pure QML project will get removed once the Qt4 project becomes a full replacement for its functionality. ---+++ Symbian: * Working with the Qt 4 team the SBSv2 (aka. raptor) support was improved. Qmake/SBSv2 and GCCE do now play together nicely. * A parser to extract errors and warnings from the SBSv2 output was added. * Deploying and launching of applications on the phone was polished. ---+++ Code Model: * The sidebar can now be used to display type hierarchies. See http://share.ovi.com/media/tobias.hunger.Qtcreator/tobias.hunger.10005 * Syntax highlighter became fast. *Very* fast! * Several issues with searching for usage of symbols were fixed. * Major improvements to the semantic pass. Semantic checks will be easier to write now as a result of this refactoring. * New QmlJS indenter which is much better integrated with the code model, making it faster and more flexible. Please report regressions! * QuickFix API was refactored: Multifile quick fixes are much easier to implement now. New QuickFixes using this infrastructure: * Add declaration QuickFix was added (C++) * Make child into component QuickFix was added (QML) All changes are available in the master branch found here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator We do expect some regressions with the changes we did this week, so please report any unusual behavior here: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ Have fun testing Qt Creator!

We are very happy when we get merge requests for cool features or even entire plugins. The latest such contribution was the cool class browser written by Denis Mingulov. We try our best to get the merge requests processed in a timely manner and to provide feedback (even though that is not always visible in gitorious and some requests seem to sit there without anybody ever looking at them). So what can you do to get cool plugins into creator? You could ask the developers of your favorite plugins to consider raising a merge request to have the plugin included with creator.

[Qt-creator] This week in Qt Creator
Hello everybody! Here is this weeks update on the recent developments in Qt Creator: * Many people are on vacation, so it was a slow week * A branch for the 2.1.0 release was set up. Testing of that branch is underway. This is a good time to report any issue you find in that branch! * The windows CDB debugger starts about 15s faster now * Debugger plugin had a mayor refactoring effort: You can now debug multiple executables, take snapshots and switch between the running applications and snapshots. Note that the UI side of this change is not yet done * Searching for symbols was added. See: http://share.ovi.com/media/tobias.hunger.Qtcreator/tobias.hunger.10004 * QML preview and javascript debugger was worked on * Quick Property sheet in the QML editor was improved * Outline mode can now reorder elements with drag and drop in QML. * The C++/QML quickfix infrastructure was improved * Library projects can now get deployed to Maemo devices All these developments are visible in the master branch available at http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator Please test the 2.1.0 branch and report any issues you encounter there so that it is in good shape when we are going to release it!

I assume that relative paths from the shadow build directories are also a bad idea? Yeap:-) If the libraries hardly ever change then you could install them (or put them into a absolute path somewhere). That is *ugly* as hell, but it will work woth bpth shadow building and in source building. I really suggest using the SUBDIRS approach. Now this I find interesting as it seems to contradict Nokia's previous advice on the subject - that is to use sessions... Please do not confuse my rumblings here with Nokia's advice! I am just one developer and in no way willing or able to speak for Nokia as a whole. I've had very mixed results with SUBDIRS in creator. I have to be setup manually, require the use of undocumented qmake features and don't always link together properly when dependants change. Yes, documentation for qmake could be improved. And until recently, you had to rebuild the until tree for a single dependant change to be picked up. That can indeed happen occasionally. Touching the files in question should do the trick though. But even if I use a subdir, won't I have the same issues? SUBDIRS allow me to specify the build order but not link dependencies for which I need PRE_TARGETDEPS. So I have to specify a path. What path do I specify? Qt Creator has quite a bit of dependency setup in src/plugins. Maybe you can get some inspiration from there? We are of course aware that there are issues with shadow building. Most of them are centered around resource usage (text files, pictures, etc.). The shadow build application will have trouble finding those if it tries to find them relative to its own location and they were shipped in the source tree. -- Tobias Hunger Software Engineer Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks Nokia gate5 GmbH Firmensitz: Invalidenstr. 117, 10115 Berlin, Germany Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Berlin: HRB 106443 B Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE 812 845 193 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Michael Halbherr, Karim Tähtivuori ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator

Are you using your own shadow building setup? Which variables are ignored by our use of shadow builds? Can you send us a .pro-file that breaks for you so that we can improve the situation? A existing in-source build should get detected and get imported using the settings used to create the build. This is of course not a help in the fresh-checkout use-case you mention:-/ I hope Nokia revert this to the previous behavior (turn off shadow builds by default). We did turn on shadow-building by default since we need to improve the multiple platform use-case. That is a real pain with pre-2.0beta creators since switching platforms totally confuses make, thus resulting in broken builds and all kinds of strangeness. There is just too many complaints about this to ignore;-). So shadow-building is -- from our perspective -- a must have for the next version.

For the purposes of this excercise, let's call it scratchbox - it would not execute qmake directly, but a series of magical incantations to build the code in scratchbox (and in case of run settings, run it). Sounds intersting, but ... [Yes, I know about madde, no need to point that out] you know about MADDE, don't you? ;-) I added the target information to qt4projectmanagerconstants.h, qt4target.cpp and qtversionmanager.cpp. You already did the tricky part then:-) So far so good; I can already see the target I created, but now I'm wondering how to make that target do something useful. What I'd need is: - Custom build / run settings pane in projects tab. By looking at the code, it would seem I would need to create a new project type instead of just a new target. Build Settings/Generic is created by Qt4ProjectConfigWidget and is project specific. The Build/clean steps in the BuildSettings view are handled by the buildstep's configuration widget (e.g. MakeStepConfigWidget). The Run Settings are managed by the runconfiguration's widget (e.g. Qt4RunConfigurationWidget) - Custom behavior. Am I mistaken in my idea that all I can do in Qt4 project type is to control the qt version, which would basically amount to specifying qmake path? I'd like to execute completely custom code when this particular target (scratchbox) is active. You will need to implement custom buildsteps (see e.g. MakeStep in Qt4ProjectManager). In addition you will probably need to provide a custom runconfiguration (what is to be run?) as well as runcontrols (how is this run?). Please be aware that the destinction between RunConfiguration and RunControl is not as strict as we would like it to be. I must tell you that I think that this change is a bit problematic: It extends one of our plugins, so it is using internal interfaces which we do change quite frequently. We are further concentrating our efforts on MADDE, so chances are slim to get this merged. So please be prepared for maintainance overhead!

I have reports both from internal and external users on a regular basis of either creator not building, or creator crashing upon startup. Yes, there are issues with creator sometimes not building. Unfortunately that can happen in a master branch. I have pushed the externals to submit bugreports, This is great, thanks! Please push the internals as well. but, again, my experience here has been less than glowing. We are trying hard to keep the response time low. From my experience as an developer working on Qt creator my impression is that most bug reports are looked at in less than a day. We do not always update the reports, so this might not always be visible to you as the reporter. We might be able to improve here, but that is a issue of priority: Do we want to keep implementing new features or update the bugtracker? Being close to the front lines of the project, sometimes this can be missed. We all use Qt Creator daily, so we tend to notice crashes and it not building. That is why they do get fixed pretty fast (at least in my experience). For qml usage, bleeding edge is the only choice currently, and the perceived quality of creator from the bleeding edgers is that creator's... not usable at all. This does differ quite drastically from the experience we have here. I am not saying that you are not having this trouble, just that I do experience the quality of creator as very good overall. So now we need to find out where our use cases differ and how we can improve the issue for your workload. I am afraid the best way to do this is by reporting bugs, which you unfortunately seem to not agree with. Do you have a suggestion on how we can improve the situation for you (and others in this thread) short-term? That is not the Qt way, and not a perception we should be having. Creator is an excellent product, Thanks! Finally something we can agree upon;-) and one I use daily, and I'd like to go back to bleeding edge, as that's where all the cool new features are :) I do understand your feelings and like the passion with which you are fighting for a better creator! -- Tobias Hunger Software Engineer Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks Nokia gate5 GmbH Firmensitz: Invalidenstr. 117, 10115 Berlin, Germany Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Berlin: HRB 106443 B Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE 812 845 193 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Michael Halbherr, Karim Tähtivuori ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
Re: [Qt-creator] Using QtCreator as a general C++ IDE

I like most of the features of code completion and browsing this IDE offers, and i really would like to use it as my main IDE, however i can't find a way to use it to anything other than creating Qt Apps. So, the question : Is it possible? If so, how? Thanks for your time, i'll wait for answers. =) -- Jefferson Bandeira Hello Jefferson, in addition to qmake based projects Creator also supports projects using a generic makefile-based build system as well as cmake based projects. There are no wizards to help you set up the initial project structure for these projects though. To use a CMake based project simply choose File-Open file or project and then pick the top-level CMakeLists.txt file (that is how cmake calls its build scripts). Any Makefile based project can get imported into Qt creator using File-New File or Project. In the dialog that opens there you can select Import Existing Project and then point it to the toplevel project directory. For Generic makefile-based projects you will need to maintain a set of files listing all sources, etc. For CMake based projects that information is extracted from the CMakeLists.txt files.

I have not had complaints about those files breaking. The exception being going back and forth between stable and unreleased versions of creator. My change should improve this situation a bit by keeping the stable versions .user-file around. So now you can at least copy the old version's file back when heading back to a stable release. How do you set project dependencies then? I have a huge set of libraries and I have found Qt's 'session' system (which is based around those user files) Sessions are meant to store one users state (open files and projects, bookmarks, breakpoints, etc.). It is not meant to be shared in a team. I have not really looked into the session system yet, so I can not comment on the implementation details. It is very much separate from the .user files. From what I understood so far sessions reference projects (in the QMake case: .pro-files), not .user files. So they should at least not be effected by .user-file trashing to much:-) to be absolutely useless because those files cannot be used across platform or even among teams on the same platform. They contain user-specific setups and are not meant to be shared in a team. You guys are clearly spending time polishing Creator's 'Project' screen (I see the layout has changed again in the master) but I cannot use it at all. These changes should be even more important to people trashing their .user files regularly:-) Seriously: There will be more changes to that soon to ease working with device SDKs. I have to set build settings and project dependencies (where possible) in the .pro files. Yes, information meant to be shared in a team is better kept in the build system itself. Dependencies can e.g. get encoded by SUBDIRS template in .pro-files (which can then be shared in a team).

I do not want to introduce some option into the GUI for what seems (to

options to ease your live: How about introducing a environment variable
(let's call it QTCREATOR_EXTENSION) to override the .user file extension?
When looking for a .user file to open Qt Creator would prefer
project.${QTCREATOR_EXTENSION} over project.user (using the latter as a
fallback). When writing it will create project.${QTCREATOR_EXTENSION}.
Implemented with two minor changes:
* It's QTC_EXTENSION to be more consistent with other environment
variables used by creator.
* It does not fall back to .user when reading data. It should be more
robust to just use a empty default configuration as pathes etc.
might have changed between platforms.
As usual this should becoe visible on the public repos with a 12h delay.

[Qt-creator] Updated .user-file saving mechanismn
Hello! I just commited a bunch of patches that clean up the handling of .user-files. These contain all the build and run settings of a project. With this change the old version of the .user-file will be kept as project.user.OLD_CREATOR_VERSION whenever creator updates its settings. This way you can go back to stable creator versions again when playing with master;-) That should be the only user visible change (apart from the contents of the file changing of course). If you notice any build or run settings missing, please contact me and send your original .user-file.
