If you want to check out the newest fancy Qt API's, and are not afraid of one or the other glitch you can also use master. Don't use master-stable. ++ Eike > Eike Ziller wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On Jan 2, 2010, at 1:59 AM, ext Victor Sardina wrote: >> >>> Fellows: >>> >>> I upgraded my Qt and QtCreator installation on Mac (Snow Leopard) just a >>> couple of days ago.

Re: [Qt-creator] Mouse Clicks Misbehaviour in latest QtCreator
Eike: I want to happily report that I pulled all the latest commits to the 4.6-stable branch and recompiled both, Qt and Qt-Creator under Snow Leopard (with -cocoa). It looks like you guys took care of the mouse click glitches and probably a lot more: everything appears to work as we expect it to. I also have everything recompiled under RedHat (RHEL5) and it works flawlessly, at least within the limits of my ignorance, namely, as long as you don't reach my incompetence level...:-) I wouldn't mind trying it under Solaris as well, except that compiling Qt in one of those servers takes like 16 hours...and besides, I can't afford messing up one of those systems. Thank you to all of you for the great work you do. Victor PS: A semi-dumb question: What Qt branch should we compile that still allows us to build Qt-Creator while getting the latest Qt goodies as well? I have settled for the 4.6-stable branch in this case (in has worked in all platforms I have tried it), but maybe another branch seems more appropriate? Do you have a description of the currently available git branches?

Re: [Qt-creator] Mouse Clicks Misbehaviour in latest QtCreator
Eike: Thank you for your answer. I started to wonder if I had just made it all up in my mind or something... I had QtCreator compiled against Qt-4.6.0 before, but then decided to go with Qt-4.6.1 due to some features needed to successfully compile the latest QtCreator (the problem with opting for the cutting edge). I didn't notice any problems with the Qt-4.6.0 branch, but again, I didn't installed the cocoa version of it, and didn't even scratch the surface of all the new features either. I opted for the cocoa version this time to keep 64bit compatibility with the packages installed via macports, such as mysql, for instance. Otherwise everything turns too messy, and I start thinking about coding only on Linux again. Right now I code primarily under Mac, and transfer the code to Linux/Solaris via a git repo. Qt makes your life easier indeed...I even like the test modules it ships with. I recompile the QtCreator just yesterday, but the clicking misbehaviour still remains. This doesn't turn extremely detrimental, particularly when we consider the benefits of using QtCreator, just a little annoying until you start getting used to the arrow keys for selecting items from the "Select symbol" combo box. Thank you again, Victor PS: If you or anyone else needs/uses the marble widget/libraries, you would need to add the 64 bit platform option by hand to the CMakeLists.txt file. Otherwise it always compiles in 32 bit mode. More specifically, I replaced (commented out) the line #SET( CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES i386 ) #Comment out if universal binary with SET( CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES x86_64 ) #Comment out if universal binary I had a "nice learning experience" with that after compiling the cocoa version of Qt as well...It seems that cmake has some unpolished corners in that regard.

[Qt-creator] Mouse Clicks Misbehaviour in latest QtCreator
Fellows: I upgraded my Qt and QtCreator installation on Mac (Snow Leopard) just a couple of days ago. I compiled and installed Qt-4.6 (4.6.1-Stable branch from the git repository), and then compiled QtCreator 1.3, also the latest from its corresponding git repo. I had to do this because some new features introduced in the 4.6 branch that the latest QtCreator uses. I compiled everything in 64 bit passing the -cocoa flag to the configure script. I had some glitches when compiling Qt, apparently due to some include path order in the webkit module that conflicted with the mysql "plugin.h" file. In fact, Thiago Maceiera posted something about mysql using an include file like "config.h" at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6351. It looks like Qt would include the mysql file due to some search path order issue. I went around it after doing some reading by renaming the "plugin.h" inside the mysql include folder to something else before continuing the compilation, and then building the mysql plugin by hand after moving the renamed file back to "plugin.h". After that both Qt and QtCreator installed just fine. All that I have an idea how it should work appears to continue to work as usual, except for the mouse clicks inside QtCreator's editor "Select a symbol" pull down menu: I cannot select anything, as though the editor remains oblivious to the click. The pull down does display the list of available functions et al., but I cannot select anything to navigate to unless I press the arrow keys and then select something by pressing return. This turns a little bit annoying. Furthermore, if you right-click to display the "Sort alphabetically" menu you cannot toggle it via a mouse click either. If you right-click inside the "Sort alphabetically" menu again then another pop up menu displaying "Sort alphabetically" shows up, which you cannot toggle via the mouse either. Inside QtDesigner, for instance, a right click brings up a menu, and after clicking at least once you can select items the usual way, but not on QtCreator. This appears to indicate some problem with the handling of the mouse actions. Has this something to do with new features introduced in /Qt or QtCreator? Has anyone seen something like this, or knows a way to fix it, as yet? Regards, Victor <>___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
