[kde] Qt-Creator / Designer

[John Woodhouse]

I have been playing with this on and off for some time and decided to upgrade 
it and ran into a problem.


I mostly use the designer as I am not much of a c++ person. My previous version 
had many KDE icons by the widgets most if not all of these have been replaced 
with a QT icon - nice easy way of MS effectively gaining ownership I thought 
and then I tried to use them. First problem was that compile - run couldn't 
always find header files. I noticed that these were in quotes rather than  so 
found them and moved them into the project directory. They all then generate 
unresolved references so don't in real terms work at all or at least I can't 
see a way of making them work. The widgets are there and it does appear to find 
them.

This leaves me wondering if there is a real Open Souce fork about or true Open 
Source widgets sets that can be added and that function in the designer? I 
thought this might be the best place to ask. There doesn't seem to be any 
similar Linux IDE's available.

All rather sad really as the designer allows relative novices to get a head 
start. It's also very multi platform. :=( I clicked on it's config file and had 
a surprise when wine opened it. I suspect this indicates where it's going to 
go. There are some interesting rumour about concerning what happened to Nokia.

PS - Hope this comes through in plain text. Looks like yahoo have sorted that 
out now. Rich but not HTML has been known to happen. Sorry etc if it does again 
:-) but it ain't as bad as html.

This is the fallback icon in case the widget plugin does not have one for the 
respective widget.
It is provided by designer so it falls back to the Qt logo.

 First problem was that
 compile - run couldn't always find header files. I noticed that these were
 in quotes rather than  so found them and moved them into the project
 directory.

This could be a bug in the widget plugin, i.e. it not correctly specifying the 
include as a global include.

The includes should still work though if you make sure the compiler's include 
path list contain the respective include dir.
See INCLUDEPATH if you are using a QMake based project.

 They all then generate unresolved references so don't in real
 terms work at all or at least I can't see a way of making them work.

Missing LIBS portion for the library providing the widget implementations.
Mostly KDEUI (in Qt4).

 This leaves me wondering if there is a real Open Souce fork about or true
 Open Source widgets sets that can be added and that function in the
 designer?

I didn't get that part.
Qt Designer is not a fork of something, neither are the KDE provided widgets.

I didn't get this part either.
Sounds to me like your file associations are messed up.

 There are some interesting rumour about concerning what
 happened to Nokia.

Nokia has not been involved with Qt for several years.

Cheers,
Kevin

P.S.: as a general suggestion: for development related questions prefer kde-
devel, this is a more an end user support mailing list
