Qt Creator and other tools

My change to center editor content is on Qt gerrit. https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/701362 Let's see how Qt devs react to this.

There was a known issue in the framebuffer backing store, where menus weren't displayed correctly. IIRC it was fixed in Qt 6.5. Which version are you using?

Thanks Ronel_qtmaster, that was exactly the problem. So in Qt Creator, for my project, via [Manage Kits...], I removed the two existing entries pointing to clang, and the only entry remaining was GCC (x86 64bit at "/bin/gcc" with type GCC Below 'Manual' I added an entry named "G++", pointing to "bin/g++" Then the project was automatically refreshed with this new information. And after a new Build > Run qmake , the error had disappeared ! Thanks and happy new years eve !

Hi, From the looks of it: I[03:28:45.275] <-- reply(2) PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace. Stack dump without symbol names (ensure you have llvm-symbolizer in your PATH or set the environment var LLVM_SYMBOLIZER_PATH to point to it): You seem to have found a way to make llvm crash.

@aha_1980 ok,I gave it a try and it was normal，thanks.

Solution was to install gbdserver on the Raspberry Pi.

@Chris-Kawa Thanks, that's very helpful. The Maintenance Tool with --show-virtual-components shows documentation and examples, as you say. Very useful. My Qt/Docs folder contains only a 6.10.1 subfolder. But I continue to get 6.8.5 docs offered. My Maintenance Tool, when set to show "Latest supported releases" lists 6.10.1, 6.9.3, 6.8.3, 6.7.3, 6.5.3 which seems wrong because the 6.8 version should be 6.8.5 I think. All except 6.10.1 are empty. I suspect my Maintenance Tool installation is broken, so I will try reinstalling that.

@KH-219Design said in Qt Creator: Ordering of debug/release builds?: @cristian-adam am I understanding correctly that the key insight (or the key cmake feature that unlocks the possibility) is to use ExternalProject ? Only if you need the Visual Studio CMake generator. If you are using Ninja, then add_subdirectory is enough.

@janhec have a look at CMake's source_group which is also used by Qt Creator to organize the project view.

You probably cannot do anything about that directly, and I'm not even sure if or how Qt Creator could find out what to write into the commands for this. A possible workaround to still be able to sensibly work with the project in Qt Creator might be to let CMake generate the compilation database, and then use the Compilation Database plugin (disabled by default, I think, so you might need to turn that on first) to directly open the project as a compilation database project instead of a CMake project https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-how-to-use-compilation-databases.html

I encourage you to go to the QSerialPort documentation. It's a the top of the page. Installing a module and making use of it in your project are two very different things. There's no reason for the installer nor the maintenance tool to go affect your projects. The "adding a library" part is for non Qt modules.

@cristian-adam you forgot to say please ;-)

Thank you. That covers case action.setChecked("QtCreator.ToggleLeftSidebar", false) - so I can hide sidebars. Similary with action.setChecked(""QtCreator.Modes.IconsOnly", true).

@cristian-adam Very interesting, thank you. It turns out there is some vsdbg.exe, which I take to be the actual debugger as its own executable. Which you can "drive", if you know what to send it. I didn't care about DWARF, PDB etc. I was interested in which debuggers allow a host to "talk" to them and vice versa, send it commands, read variables, etc. Which is what Creator will require. I know gdb can do it. I didn't know there was a standalone executable for the debugger from VS, I thought it was a built in.

Hi, The Qt Company had to migrate their Jira instance. Everything is explained in this Wiki article.

@jsulm In /opt/Qt6/doc/ there are two folders called config and global. The contents of /opt/Qt6/examples are shown in the picture below: [image: 3efa5588-09ab-4525-b95d-1680d94f7516.png] Both folders are owned by root and have their permissions set to rwxr-xr-x

@jsulm I wondered about that myself. But it does not seem to be the issue. I fixed it by installing the dependencies from @cristian-adam comment :)

@srimuthu I think you will have to implement this by yourself. If you move the scroll bar to the top to see older messages you need to fetch those messages and add them to the widget, then the scrollbar should adjust.

Starting Qt Creator with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 might have shown the culprit.
