Qt Creator and other tools

@SGaist Yes,it works👍

@OldRoly Qt Creator is just a standalone IDE, it does not bring any Qt packages with it for you to use to build your own programs, technically it could be used as e.g. a text editor without anything to do with Qt development (though you would not want to). I don't know why you ask for the "complete package" and then mark this topic as Solved with no further comment. To build your own code you need to fetch some of the distro packages. I can't recall just what they are called, and it can vary from distro to distro or release to release, but you need to type something like sudo apt install qt and then press the Tab key once or twice to see the offered completions. You will probably want things starting from qt6 and then Tab, there something like qt6-dev with most of what you will want? You can Google for what exactly the names are and what might be wanted, but as I say the names change so it may not be accurate for current your distro.

@peblus hi, Your link is the correct one :-)

@cristian-adam I think its more a bug. They key bindings that dont work are in the hover. I'll follow up later.

Unfortunately, not.

@aha_1980 I see. My error was not setting scope to "files in file system" - which then requires a root dir. The option isnt available in the project/projects scope for some reason. Since I cant tell if ag is being used in project scope, I'll assume it is after setting it in file scope. post edit : it doesnt. Hmm. Ok. so use "file system" and set directory root to "current". It seems a little strange. But all good.

Solved by moving build dir out from the source one: Initial project structure: + app ├ src │ ├ build │ │ └ Desktop_Qt_6_8_2-Debug │ └ CMakeLists.txt └ conanfile.py Current one: + app ├ build │ └ Desktop_Qt_6_8_2-Debug ├ src │ └ CMakeLists.txt └ conanfile.py This move also cleaned up the project tree from cmake generated garbage.

@osirisgothra what's the point of recroposting an 8 year old thread?

For #2 it would help it you could provide information why it won't start. Usually you get some error output when you run the application from the terminal. Qt 6.8.0 package on Linux arm64 does not work on Debian 11 is one bug report regarding running on Raspberry Pi. For #3 you need to install the Qt development packages, which are not needed for just running Qt applications like Qt Creator. At https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_Creator_from_Git_on_Ubuntu_22.04 you have a tutorial on how to build Qt Creator itself using a host Qt installation (no Qt SDK involved). You will have to do a few calls to sudo apt install to get things running. Ubuntu is based on Debian and I do hope that the package naming is the same.

@aha_1980 @cristian-adam Thanks you for your help

@cristian-adam Now it behaves like expected :) @Christian-Ehrlicher I'm not after to reproduce this behavior in my app, I just stumbled upon this part in the code of QtC and thought about it. Because you can usually open multiple instances of QtCreator at the same time. So you need extra arguments to activate the single App behavior... I did not know that :)

See https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.8_Release (google: "qt6.8.3 release notes")

@CreeperInBlack Magical resolution is more usual under Windows. And no matter what OS, when anything misbehaves a good, stern reboot is always worth a try. ;-)

@samwise_genji said in Qt Creator Terminal output: Thank you for the heads up, @cristian-adam do you know when it will be officially released ? I can make do with temporary workarounds till then At https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Creator_Releases we can see: Qt Creator 17.0.1: wk34 (~Aug 21 2025), depends on Qt 6.9.2

Hmmm very odd! I closed and re-opened VS and now it works as expected - though black selection on a black background is VERY hard to see.

This happens to me too. I restart the creator and than it works fine,
