Hello all, I'm new user of Qt Creator, so please forgive me if the question here is naive -- I have tried searching around for an answer without really finding anything definitive.
How can one go about adding support for new languages to Qt Creator? From what I have seen there is a fairly substantial collection of syntax highlighting rulesets (all derived from Kate?), but these don't necessarily correspond to support for things like auto-indentation and obviously don't offer support for build or debugging tools. The language I'm particularly interested in adding support for is D <http://dlang.org>. There is already syntax support in place with a d.xml that's taken from Kate (and dates from about 2 years ago). I'd like to be able to extend that with auto-indentation (and if possible autocompletion) support, and to be able to add support for compiling and debugging D (it should be possible to do this with GDB and LLDB). I know from the D language forums that about 3 years ago there was some interest in adding D support to Qt Creator, but so far as I can see this didn't go beyond the syntax highlighting file. Qt Creator makes a great candidate for a light, fast and effective cross-platform IDE which doesn't carry a huge baggage of dependencies, so I'd really like to have good D support in it. Any advice on how to go about doing this would be really appreciated. Thanks and best wishes, -- Joe _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
