I've run into a nasty problem with Qt Creator (I'm using 2.6.1 on Gentoo Linux) where it can't find header files I include and thus code completion for anything in those headers isn't working.
Case in point: #include <SDL.h> Creator can't find it because the full path to that header is: /usr/include/SDL/SDL.h However, I don't want to use: #include <SDL/SDL.h> instead. That's not the correct way to do it, as it breaks portability. Some systems don't use "SDL/" but can have that header in "SDL1.2/" or "SDL12/" or "SDL-1.2/" or whatever. The correct way to do this is to use pkg-config. In my project file: CONFIG += link_pkgconfig PKGCONFIG += sdl Qt Creator is not able to pick that up. So as a workaround, which seems to work fine with generic projects, I provided a "ProjectName.includes" file with this in it: /usr/include/SDL But Creator doesn't seem to care. This works just fine for non-qmake projects. But with qmake projects, Creator seems to ignore *.includes files? What can I do? This is of course not limited to SDL. The same problem arises with anything that uses pkg-config to provide include paths and you're not supposed to hardcode the path prefix into your #include directives. _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
