Qt Creator and other tools

Hi and welcome to devnet, Do you have an anti-virus running ? They usually quarantine any application created through a build process.

I would like to add that I haven't been able to reproduce the issue when creating and opening "Hello World"-type projects. I do have some $$system() calls in the .pro file where it happens, but these are necessary (many are for finding programs like pkg-config, which was mentioned). But none of the external system calls have anything to do with ollama, and I really only use it in Qt Linguist which is referenced through the External Tools menu in Qt Creator. Maybe over the weekend I will have time to investigate further.

Thank you, looks good! A note for those (like me) who builds Qt Creator Plugins: Installing vanilla Qt 6.11.1 is not enough, you also need to install Qt TaskTree: [image: d9e1531e-09f0-426b-a1bd-6fe56c1f08c6.png] And you need to add this to the Plugin's CMakeLists.txt: set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20) (Otherwise I think CMake defaults to C++17 which is not good enough for Qt TaskTree).

It was a issue with the Qt Creator version. Using the same Qt Creator Version the editor does not generate different enums.

Then go to https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/ and respectively https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/11.0/11.0.1/

Thank you for posting this. Qt Creator 19.0.2 has a CMake find package dependency provider that checks to see if Qt packages are missing, and if so, then you can get an Issue with a link to automagically install the missing Qt component. But there is an issue when a Qt component has a dependency on other Qt components that might have missing dependencies. I have tried a Qt Widgets "Hello World" with missing system dev packages. With Qt Creator 19.0.2 and a Qt SDK Qt 6.11.1 I get this in General Messages: [cmake] Running /snap/bin/cmake -S /home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets -B /home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1-Debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DCMAKE_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/ccache/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++-13 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/ccache/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-13 -DCMAKE_GENERATOR:STRING=Ninja -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:STRING=/usr/bin/ninja -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/home/cristian/Qt/6.11.1/gcc_arm64 -DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:FILEPATH=/home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1-Debug/.qtcreator/cmake-helper/qtcreator-project.cmake -DQT_CREATOR_ENABLE_MAINTENANCE_TOOL_PROVIDER:BOOL=ON -DQT_CREATOR_ENABLE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_SETUP:BOOL=ON -DQT_ENABLE_QML_DEBUG:BOOL=ON -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/home/cristian/Qt/6.11.1/gcc_arm64/bin/qmake in /home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1-Debug.

@Chris-Kawa Thank you. This started happening after I rolled back from VS 18.6.2 to 18.5.3, I tried to follow your advice, but the VS Installer complained about missing "stuff". In the end I had to completely uninstall VS and re-install - most annoying! However the good news is that "normal service" has now been resumed!

I had a similar problem , It was fixed only by deleting build folder and rebuilding again

@chenwj said in Qt Creator, VSCode or CLion?: Meanwhile, using AI features in Qt Creator requires a commercial license. With Qt Creator 20 you can use the ACP Client to connect to an ACP Agent like Claude Agent, Codex CLI, or OpenCode and do any AI work. The ACP Client plugin is part of the OpenSource Qt Creator.

Ha, I got Jira to work. I'll keep an eye on the issue, thanks a lot!

@Robert-Hairgrove Fair enough. If it were me I would try a quick one line Qt GUI program of my own to see whether it respects --qwindowgeometry (that's one of the command line arguments any Qt program picks up), plus save/restore if you're wanting to check that, to see where you start from.

Hi, Which version of Qt Creator are you talking about ?

I have the same problem but in windows 10... did you find any solution ?

@galkinvv Thanks for your workaround for this. It got me up and running. According to this We should be able to use mount-libexec and libexec-mount-point for this. However, I tried them and they don't work. Have you found out anything more about this? Kevin
