Qt Creator and other tools

Hello, you can have multiple executables in one CMake project, and deal with it in one single Qt Creator instance. As a template you can git clone "https://codereview.qt-project.org/qt/qtqa" and load .../src/fuzzgen/CMakeLists.txt in Qt Creator. It's a project with multiple executables. You can select the run target like that: [image: aa73058f-e72b-45f2-9e27-b532d2583f5e.png]

Not that I want to discourage you but did you consider using Qt Multimedia ? It already provides support for playing music using ffmpeg under the hood. That said, did you already check the mpv C client api ?

Hi, Which version of Qt Creator ? Which version of Qt ? On which OS ? Does it happen if you use a default project ? Is it a complex class ? Do you have a more complete error message ?

I have similar issue, working on a fairly large project. When build completes and VS is about to launch a debug instance. The process freezes for 5-10 seconds. I'm also getting repeated warnings from Visual Studio that the extension caused VS to become unresponsive. Previous Qt Vs Tools version was working fine.

A question: How is this integrated. Uses it the full codemodel for the project (I have 140000 LOC) or looks it only the corrosponding CPP-File what should be fast ? I will check the other hints.

@cristian-adam I think I'll write a suggestion for an additional "Build current executable only (disable other build targets)"

This is not a Qt problem, more details. Qt creator feature request here.

I never thought I'd have to add the current folder (.). That solved my issue indeed.

@cristian-adam Ah, yes, that did the trick. Thanks!

@oldbrad said in Creator error but command line works.: The moral of this tail is you can NOT install over a Linux package manager installation. Glad you found a solution but the rule is: you shall not install a custom build of a library, whether Qt or another one, over a distribution provided one. You could break your system doing that. However, nothing should prevent them from being properly co-located and used independently by your application.

@tkansgar I recently stumbled upon this https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/utils/release/build_llvm_release.bat There you can see how llvm is being built on Windows. You can have something similar for Linux.

You should at least mention that your problem is within QtCreator when you are not even able to post in the correct category...

No i don't have member function. making a new project solved this problem

@berliner : It was fixed in https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/708134 commit. However, it went to Creator 19.0 so please try this version to verify whether it fixes your issue.

Hi, You should add: Which version of Qt Creator Which version of Qt On which OS Try to record a small video showing the issue

Hi, I've solved this problem. In README.md, I found an extra step to install the documentation. I should've run these commands after installing Qt: cmake --build . --target docs sudo cmake --build . --target install_docs But, since I had deleted my qt-build and /opt/Qt6/examples, I did these following to make the examples, along with the documentation, accessible from within Qt Creator: mkdir qt-build && cd qt-build ~/qt-sources/configure -prefix /opt/Qt6 -skip qtwebengine -nomake tests -make examples -- -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES_BY_ DEFAULT=OFF -DQT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES_SOURCES=ON cmake --build . --parallel --target docs sudo cmake --install . --component examples_sources sudo cmake --build . --parallel --target install_docs After that, the examples and documentation are accessible from Qt Creator: [image: edb125fb-5997-469c-bdb2-f50239796b90.png] Screenshot of Examples [image: 5a9e5824-ab94-48fc-8351-7bb5b5ba89d8.png] Screenshot of Help

And if you have Ninja installed via Qt SDK, you should have in your QtCreator.ini something like: [CMakeSpecificSettings] NinjaPath=/Users/cristian/Qt/Tools/Ninja//ninja which should get CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM set to this value.

I found out that if I create a new project without any translation files, it opens the project normally. Then if I add a TRANSLATIONS section to the .pro file, I get the error described above. So it might have something to do with Qt Linguist? But I can use different AI models in Lnguist, not necessarily ollama?

Go to Tools > Debug Qt Creator > Inspect C++ Code Model ... there you should get access to some information that the code model uses. Otherwise you would have to enable some logging to get more info.

@cristian-adam said in How to Enable Python Type Hints in Qt Creator?: I've opened up QTCREATORBUG-34195: Python debugging not having pretty printers for Pyside6 Qt types. The bug report has been closed, and this is how Qt Creator master (21) looks like: [image: e72021e9-d1f7-4576-877c-ebb5aa2a6ac4.png]
