Re: [Qt-creator] plain C++ project

It would also depend on exactly what is being taught.  If this is a level one C++ course, I would recommend editing the make file manually so the students have some basic understanding of what a makefile is and how it relates to project management.  Then you can move to CMake or qmake or whatever makefile generator makes sense and see what these tools do for you as your projects become more complex.

You can do that but it means using qmake which is rather unforgiving and cludgy. It's nice to have confidence in your tools. Plus it mean every student would need the Qt sdk. You'd much rather spend your time productively than trying to figure what qmake is not linking your libraries because you got the order of the variables wrong.

Again, I would really recommend CMake. A project is just a single text file which you can process with a GUI tool to generate the make files for your platform.

Wow. So much trouble/hassle :(

I think I'd rather recommend just making a Qt Console application and
editing the project file to remove 'core' from $$QT.

The lecturer can then just this project to quickly 'type, compile, run'
stuff, with the console output at the bottom of the page.

Perhaps bigger generic projects would benefit from following the
instructions below, but it's too much effort compared to his current
tool for me to be able to recommend it.

Thanks though,

Max.
