Re: [Qt-creator] QtCreator 10 and CMakePresets

[Michael Jackson]

 As a follow up to the below I have noticed that the command that QtCreator
is using to configure the project is the following:

Running /opt/local/cmake-3.25.3-macos-universal/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake
-S /Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3DNX -B

-DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=STRING -DVTK_DIR:PATH=PATH in
/Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3D-Build/DREAM3DNX-Release-x64.```

I feel like those “BOOL=BOOL” and “PATH=PATH” should be BOOL=TRUE and
PATH=/opt/local/foo/bar?


And How do I convince QtCreator that it doesn’t need:

-DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:FILEPATH=/Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3D-Build/DREAM3DNX-Release-x64/.qtc/package-manager/auto-setup.cmake


Anyways, here is the output from trying to configure my build;

[Qt-creator] QtCreator 10 and CMakePresets

[Michael Jackson]

Is QtCreator 10’s use of CMakePresets the “configure” preset or the “build”
preset? I can’t really figure it out? Is it using the display name or
the “name” in the preset? Does it honor the “inherits” property of a preset?

And when I rename the presets (in an attempt to make the preset more
obvious) how do I inform QtCreator that those names have changed? At the
moment I am blowing away all the build directories and the
CMakelists.txt.user file and re-opening the project. Is there a better way?

../%{JS:

Re: [Qt-creator] How to show functions as an alphabetized list in QtCreator 7.0

[Michael Jackson]

Thanks all for the sanity check. I did actually try the right-click since that 
seemed like a natural choice but when nothing popped up I went looking. I guess 
I can just use "Find" instead. Will this be put into the next point release? 
Getting ready to switch to an M1 mac and QtCreator 7 seemed to work the best on 
that platform.

[Qt-creator] How to show functions as an alphabetized list in QtCreator 7.0

[Michael Jackson]

Downloaded the new version. Over all like the additions (Jumped from
4.15) but I cannot quite seem to figure out how to make the function
drop down at the top of the editor as an alphabetized list instead of
the order in which the functions appear in the file.

[Qt-creator] Project Organization from CMake

[Michael Jackson]

Does the latest QtCreator honor the cmake "source_group" organization
from CMake files? We have these throughout our CMake code base and was
hoping to have QtCreator honor those groupings? No biggie if it does
not as we can just rely on the FileSystem view.

Re: [Qt-creator] Unable to Compile QtCreator (4.15)

[Michael Jackson]

Cool Thanks for the information and steps. I did all steps and patched the code 
to successfully compile on my end. I created a new branch and pushed that 
branch to my fork on GitHub (github.com/imikejackson). I also updated the 
cmake.yml build matrix to also build the clangrefactoringplugin? I’ll check 
back later this afternoon to see if a GitHub action performed the build?

We have GitHub Actions enabled at 
https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/actions 

If you have a GitHub account you can:
Fork https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator
Add your GitHub fork to your Qt Creator git checkout
$ git remote add github https://github.com//qt-creator.git
Push to your GitHub fork
$ git push github --force
Your GitHub fork will get its own build of Qt Creator. The build is ccache 
backed, and after the cache is warm, a build should take ~30 minutes. You also 
get build artifacts for Linux, Window and macOS.

Cheers,
Cristian.

Re: [Qt-creator] Follow Symbol Under Cursor always takes me to the header file

[Michael Jackson]

Thank you for the suggestions. I decided to move my entire .config/QtProject to 
the side and restart QtCreator and now I seem to get the proper behavior. 
Moving the old settings back into place seems to go back to the old behavior so 
I guess there is just something in the settings file(s) that messes with the 
ability to jump to the definition versus the declaration. I’ll just consider 
this a user-error and move on…

This happens to us in some places in our code where the declaration and the 
definition of a function are not identical.

 

For example, the .h file has:

void foo(QWidget* w);

 

and the  .cpp file has:

void foo(QWidgetPtr w);

 

somewhere in our code (though perhaps not in a place that the .h file 
#includes) there is a typedef that defines QWidgetPtr as QWidget*, therefore 
the code compiles.

 

If we change the types to be the same in the .h and .cpp file, then Follow 
Symbol Under Cursor works as expected. But otherwise it only takes us to the .h 
file.

 

If it's never worked for you then this is probably not what you're running 
into, but I thought I'd mention this just in case.

[Qt-creator] Error Using .clang-tidy file instead of built ins (Master branch from QtCreator Git Repo)

[Michael Jackson]

I am having some trouble getting QtCreator to a full functioning state after 
building from Git. I cloned the sources from 
 and started through the ReadMe.md 
file.

I have CMake 3.19.3, Xcode 12.3, ninja 1.9.0 all installed.
I have the prebuilt Qt5.14.2 installed
I grabbed the prebuilt libclang version 110 as suggested and installed into 
/Users/Shared/OpenSource/libclang

My configuration is as follows:
[me@host] $ export PATH=/Users/Shared/IMF_SDK/Qt5.14.2/5.14.2/clang_64/bin:$PATH
[me@host] $ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/mjackson/Applications/QtCreator-master \
-DBUILD_PLUGIN_CLANGREFACTORING=ON \
-DBUILD_PLUGIN_CLANGPCHMANAGER=ON \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/Shared/OpenSource/libclang  \
../../qt-creator

[me@host] $ ninja
[me@host] $ cmake --install . --prefix /path/to/qtcreator_install
[me@host] $ cmake --install . --prefix /path/to/qtcreator_install --component 
Dependencies

Launch QtCreator, load up my project (CMake based with an existing build in 
place). All works fine. I open a source file and try to "Analyze current File" 
by right clicking on the editor, the analysis starts but I get errors back. 
This is with Analyzer->Clang Tools->Diagnostic Configuration set to a custom 
value where the "Clang-Tidy Checks" are set to "Use .clang-tidy config file". 
Here is the output from the analyzer run:

Re: [Qt-creator] Adjusting Color of error messages

[Michael Jackson]

Christian, 
   Thanks for the help. Looks like setting those colors has an interaction with 
some sort of alpha blending? I'm unable to get "bright" colors. I tried just 
setting pure RED or pure GREEN but all are "muted" when actually viewing them 
on screen. I'll try to send some screen shots for what I mean. Does that make 
sense?

[Qt-creator] New Installer for 4.13.0

[Michael Jackson]

I just downloaded the installer for 4.13.0 from the snapshots directory from 
download.qt.io. 

 

If I am downloading QtCreator to *use* to develop software *why* do I have to 
agree to *any* of the GPL terms?

 

I’m not making changes to QtCreator.

As far as QtCreator is concerned, it shouldn’t know or care what other software 
frameworks that I am using.

The obligations make it sound like I need to acknowledge Qt in *any* software 
that I develop with QtCreator?

These obligations make it sound as if the GPL license that QtCreator is 
licensed under is infecting my own software?

And why on Earth would the installer need my Company/Business name during 
installation: It is bad enough that I need a QtAccount just to install the 
software but now I have to provide even more information?

 

This seems like something is just getting “lost in translation”. What am I 
missing?

Re: [Qt-creator] Clang-Tidy Integration Decision (4.10 & 4.12 usability)

[Michael Jackson]

True, there is a conversation there but I think both the Creator devs and the 
community need to have conversation about the future of the clang-tidy 
integration.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-23348 reported the issue. It was 
marked as "won't fix".

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-23349 reports the lack of text 
markers in the editor. So far this is still left open even though we are in the 
RC part of 4.12 which means we are left with another half-baked release of 
QtCreator. So how long do we have to wait to actually get the same usability 
that we had back in 4.10? 6 months, 1 year or never? Was there a large amount 
of feedback stating that the markup in the editor was an issue?

Then we jumped to QtCreator 4.12 RC/Beta and now the debugging issue is solved 
BUT now clang-tidy doesn't run automatically anymore. When I searched out how 
to get it to run I have to run it manually (ok, maybe a fair trade off) but the 
annotations are effectively "hidden" now down the left side of the editor 
marked by a little triangle icon. There doesn't seem to be a way to go back to 
old style of putting them on the right side of the editor and in the scroll 
well. I am now missing clang-tidy warnings because there isn't a list anywhere 
to go by. The clang-tidy process seems to fail because of some ITK header that 
says it does not recognize the compiler. This didn't used to happen.

So now I have a decision to make. Stick with 4.10.x but have a noisy laptop 
(the fans spin at 100%) but have really nice automatic clang-tidy warnings that 
are easy to "see" and therefor parse OR go with 4.12 where the debugging is now 
quiet but the clang-tidy annotations are effectively hidden to the developer, 
or at least non-obvious.

My assumption is that if the developer finds it important enough to turn on the 
clang-tidy warnings they I would assume that they want to easily "see" and grok 
those warnings. 

Just my 2 cents.

Re: [Qt-creator] Tabs vs Spaces?

[Michael Jackson]

I will echo Henry and say that clang-format and git-clang-format in combination 
with QtCreator 4.10 and newer have let our project all live with the same 
formatting rules. As I type code QtCreator uses our clang-format file to format 
my code. Git-clang-format for changes made through other text editors.

Clang-format is the best-known tool for this today. I've also used

I am a tabs guy. I change the Qt style to use tabs. I tab all the things!!

Anyway, I now have other contributors to my project that are spaces people. 
How can we live in harmony? One side effect is that it seems git considers 
whitespace changes so his code is indented with spaces, mine are tabs and it's 
making a mess in git.


Or should this be handled by git? (And if so, how?)

Re: [Qt-creator] Annoyance with 4.11

[Michael Jackson]

Dear Christian, 
   I feel your pain. I empathize with your situation, BUT, there are other 
IDE's available. I am going to assume based on earlier emails that other IDE's 
are available at your employer. VS 2019 is available and is quite nice. 
JetBrains CLion is also available and nice. Both are paid products (in your 
situation with developing commercial software).

No one "wants" to be a beta tester for a product but back when I coded more I 
would start using the nightly builds of the next version fairly regularly so I 
could report issues before QtC came out and I had to wait another 6 months for 
a new build. I have used my own time to report back on areas that *I* thought 
were important. Sometimes if you care about the product enough (does not matter 
which product) sometimes you just need to act as a "tester". No body's QA can 
catch every bug in their product.

On the issue of CMake, I use it every day and I don't mind what it brings to 
the table as a cross platform developer. Let's agree to disagree about CMake. I 
will only say that the CMake support has gotten consistently better over the 
years. Yes, it is still a bit "fragile" for some setups. Historically there was 
a lot of friction to including CMake support into QtC in the early years. I 
think there was a tipping point in the software dev community where CMake 
finally got enough traction that adding in first class CMake support was pretty 
much a necessity. Even Visual Studio bundles CMake in their latest and has an 
"Open CMake Project" functionality built into Visual Studio.

Now that Qt6 uses CMake for its build system I am hoping that QtC will smooth 
out some of the rough edges when it comes to CMake integration. I personally 
gave up on the "Project View" and just use the "File System View" instead since 
we organize our sources via folders in the project. I only added the code 
inside of our CMake files for the Visual Studio developers when I started to 
use VS myself and saw the complete disaster that was our VS solutions files. So 
there might be some Cmake codes that could be added to better organize your own 
sources. This also helps IDEs like QtC and VS from guessing your structure and 
have CMake define the structure that you want to see in the IDE.


Cheers. I hope it all works out for you.

This sounds quite reverse hyperbolic. Like you're over-minimising the
impact of this bug.

For personal reason, i had to switch from a friendly 24/7 open source
user to a 8h/day, 5d/w commercial user.
The project explorer is a GUI component that assists the user with
graphically exploring a project.
The screenshots i sent recently clearly show a regression, not a
'preference issue'.

Please as well take a note of my comment about cmake plugin being
immature, my hate of this build system is orthogonal with the problem.
If it's not ready, it should be marked as such. There's no exemption.
Some of QtC plugins have been marked as experimental for 5+ years.

And IMHO the regression nature of this problem (what i refer to as an
'annoyance' in my original email) is backed by the fact that it was
fixed with QtC-4.12. You wouldn't fix a non-problem, would you?

What i'm surprised, and unhappy with is that there's no bug fix
available with the now-commercial-only Qt SDK installer, and my
current Qt install is broken (I'm paid to use QtC 8 hours a day, and
right now i cannot rely on your commercial offering, they just don't
work) . You rely on me to be an 'advanced' user. Unfortunately this
time is now gone.
The only option i got from the installer was to install an obsolete
QtC 4.11 preview version. WTF?!?
This doesn't look serious to me. You guys failed on that one, and it's
OK, shit happens.

If you're serious with getting the business up to scratch, you better
have to deliver commercial solutions up to scratch.

I am highly unimpressed with the 'commercial' solution so far.

With all due respect, please always take my emails with a pin

Re: [Qt-creator] Fw: [Development] Changes to Qt offering

[Michael Jackson]

Yep, already stated my disappointment on the blog page. I understand these 
moves from a purely business view. The Qt company needs additional revenue 
streams to continue development of the product. I just don't think that hitting 
up a developer for a license because *my* project depends on Qt is the way to 
go. We open sourced our application in the hopes that other R engineers would 
contribute but having an annoying "make an account with this 3rd party" bit is 
going to drive them away.  We were looking at porting it all over to Python and 
now that is looking more & more like a reality.

All bug fixes will (as agreed on the Qt Contributor Summit) go into dev first. 
Backporting bug fixes is something that the Qt Company will take care of for 
these LTS branches. We’ve seen over the past that LTS support is something 
mainly required by large companies, and should hopefully help us get some more 
commercial support for developing Qt further.

[Qt-creator] Qt Account now required?

[Michael Jackson]

I take it based on the latest blog post from the Qt Company that a Qt Account 
is now required to simply install QtCreator? I tried the latest nightly and the 
option to skip the installer is now gone. What a PITA. Please reconsider this 
decision as I for one just don’t' really need "yet another account" to sign 
into.

Maybe have the option of "Hey it would be great if you told us about your use 
of QtCreator? Can we contact you in the future?" You already have my IP address 
from the download.

The community already spoke about this back a few years ago and we pretty much 
rejected the idea of forced account creation.

[Qt-creator] Font Rendering with JetBrains Mono

[Michael Jackson]

So JetBrains released an open-source programmers font they call JetBrains Mono 
(https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/#intro). Looked interesting so I tried it 
out. The interesting thing is that inside of QtCreator's editor certain 
combinations will get substituted with a single glyph. Examples are:

if(0 == 1)
{}
if(0 != 1)
{}
if(1 >= 19)
{}

All of the logic operators will get replaces with a single glyph. What is 
interesting is that the same code inside of VSCode with the same font will 
*not* do the substitution.

So is this something specific with the font that QtCreator is detecting that 
VSCode is not detecting or is there a setting inside of QtCreator that I can 
toggle to turn *off* the substitutions? I generally like the font but for C++ 
programming I really need to see the individual characters of my code. I'm 
attaching images in the hope that they get through that show what I am trying 
to say.

I also just tried the latest QtCreator 4.11 snapshot (release?) and still have 
this issue.

Re: [Qt-creator] LLDB CPU usage 100% on macOS Catalina (10.15)

[Michael Jackson]

Xcode 11 includes its own Python 3.7 that LLDB is using. Xcode 10 did not have 
any python and used the system python 2.7 located in /usr/bin/python. I have 
added some traces from Xcode 10 and Xcode 11 to the bug report mentioned. 
Hopefully the QtCreator devs can reproduce this issue and find a fix.

I tried the brute force of moving to the side the embedded Python 3.7 inside of 
Xcode 11.3 package but then when trying to launch LLDB just stalled and 
wouldn't go any further. I did not have time to get a trace. Hopefully this all 
helps in some way.

I'm not sure if I can use Xcode 10 on macOS Mojave?

Re: [Qt-creator] QtCreator and CMake - projects getting tired...

[Michael Jackson]

I am glad to see these kinds of tough bugs getting fixed in Creator. My own 
philosophy when using Creator is that Creator really needs to have "working" 
CMake project. If I am going to go down the road of editing my CMakeLists.txt 
(and other CMake files) then I switch out of Creator and into VS Code. That way 
I can edit all the CMake related files, test the configuration from the command 
line without worrying about Creator getting "Lost, angry or just tired". When 
my project is back to configuring correctly then I jump back to Creator, let it 
run CMake one more time to get the project back up and running. Then go about 
actually editing my source files. Just my 2 cents.

Creator is a great product and I don't know what I would do without it but 
every package has it's weakness and round tripping in Creator when editing 
CMake files isn't the best experience so far. (It's close.. ).

Like the project is complex, but not even once run through a successful build, 
so I have to change dependencies here, add another CMakeLists.txt there, and 
other such changes that may affect the whole or parts of the setup. And if I 
have done this a few times, and then I try another build, I only get the 
following message:

That seems to be https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-18530 , 
supposedly finally fixed in 4.11.

Otherwise going to 4.11 will also improve CMake support in other regards: 
It uses CMake’s new (I think 3.14+) file-base API for IDEs, which removes the 
need to keep a cmake process running on the project, which always interfered 
with e.g. running cmake on the console, had its own file watches with all 
related issues etc.

To control font size, you can focus on output pane, and use ctrl+wheel.

People around me seem to have shell scripts that call "cmake -DFOO=bar

I guess it all depends:-)

Some settings are definitely project specific and those make little
sense in the Kit. But if you have lots of Paraview projects, then it
might make sense to have all the settings related to setting that up
in a kit.

Good point. We probably need something here.

 
What we do for multiple projects is setup a "Kit per Project" since each 
project (For us at least) will generally have different initial CMake values 
that need to be set. Whether it is different versions of Qt5 or just different 
options to our project (Python wrapping on or off). We end up with a bunch of 
Kits but each one does a specific job. We also essentially use a 
"my_config.cmake" file to feed into our CMakeLists.txt file. We just call it 
something else and if the user does not set it with a -D then we detect that 
and state all the variables that need to be set.

Just my 2 cents.

Mike Jackson

[Qt-creator] Follow Symbol Under Cursor ALWAYS takes me to the header (QtCreator 4.9)

[Michael Jackson]

So far really loving the new features in 4.9 BUT now I have noticed that when I 
right-click on a method in my code I am taken to the declaration in the header 
file instead of the definition in the .cpp file? Was there a new setting in 4.9 
that controls this? I am pretty sure that 4.8 “did the right thing”. I have 
tested this on both Windows and macOS (same project each) and the project is a 
CMake based project. Any insights would be appreciated….

Thanks Eike.

 

I have tried all of the code formatting options and could not get the 
formatting I want. uncrustify comes closest, but with the 1,000 options I still 
can't quite get there... Clangformat, for example, couldn't format constructor 
initializers properly unless you add a max line width (if I recall correctly). 
The docs say one thing, but in practice it does something different. I gave up 
trying to fight it. I can adjust my style a bit, but some things... not so much 
:-)

 

"Creating the definition files for these is up to you though."

 

:-)

 

"Also, these are not used for formatting while typing"

 

That's what I was looking for and why I mentioned EditorConfig since it seems 
to be well supported across editors. Looks like it generally only supports 
whitespace formatting though - but even this would be useful!

I’d try enabling the Beautifier plugin and using one of the code styling tools 
that it supports (clang-format, astyle, uncrustify). You can check the format 
definitions for these into the repo, and Qt Creator should take the first 
definition it finds in the parent folder hierarchy (or at least can be 
configured to do so).
Creating the definition files for these is up to you though.
Also, these are not used for formatting while typing, only on saving or 
explicit request. Except if you use clang-format and try the new experimental 
ClangFormat plugin (instead of Beautifier), which has the feature of formatting 
while typing in Qt Creator 4.9.

Thanks for the heads up with the ClangFormat plugin. We have a .clangformat in 
each of our repos and this already provide quite useful.

I’d try enabling the Beautifier plugin and using one of the code styling 
tools that it supports (clang-format, astyle, uncrustify). You can check the 
format definitions for these into the repo, and Qt Creator should take the 
first definition it finds in the parent folder hierarchy (or at least can be 
configured to do so).
Creating the definition files for these is up to you though.
Also, these are not used for formatting while typing, only on saving or 
explicit request. Except if you use clang-format and try the new experimental 
ClangFormat plugin (instead of Beautifier), which has the feature of formatting 
while typing in Qt Creator 4.9.

Re: [Qt-creator] RFC: Dropping support for Python 2.x for GDB/LLDB

[Michael Jackson]

Does LLDB (on macOS) *require* the shipped version of Python (2.x) on macOS? I 
guess you could have the user install another python 3 distribution (Take your 
pick, I’m not going to suggest one and then get skewered for it). I understand 
how hard it is trying to support 2 versions of python. For our own project we 
*only* support Python 3, even on macOS. For those users they need to install a 
python 3 distribution.


We can argue/discuss what Apple may or may not do with the shipped version of 
python but in the end the QtCreator developers do actually have control over 
this one also. They _could_ put their own python in QtCreator…

There are developers (including Qt developers) that work on macOS because Qt 
needs to be cross-platform. And due to that, Qt Creator should support 
debugging on Apple platforms, which means that we are stuck with using Python 2 
to inter-operate with lldb on macOS, for now.

Which community are you talking about? Apple community? There's no such thing.
At least not in the sense of "Open source" community.
There is a "capitalistic" Apple community, people who wants to make
money out of anything/nothing.
But none of this "community" is willing to contribute anything.
Python2 is dead and is being buried, for good.
Apple has no control over it. They can decide to maintain their own
python2 version if they wish, after all, that's what they've been
doing  with clang...

Re: [Qt-creator] QtCreator 4.9 and Clang Tidy Feedback

[Michael Jackson]

I’m still contending (without any idea of how hard it would be to implement, 
let alone the UX to let the user know what is going on) that the creation of 
the function drop down should be separate from the clang-tidy run. Do the 
function drop down first. Then start the clang-tidy run. Would be neat to have 
some sort of “indicator” icon to say that clang-tidy was running or completed. 
I can wish….

FWIW - I'll add a "Me too".

 

Some files I'm working with take 25-30 seconds to process & show their list of 
methods in the dropdown.

 

If there were an (easy) way to figure out which Tidy options were slowest even 
that would help. Then I could make intelligent decisions about what to keep 
using.

It was already in that menu since version 4.7. And before that it was

Sounds useful. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-22008 was 
just created for this.

Another one that might be useful is "Analyze the touched files of last N 
commits."

Yes, I would take either one right now. Our current code base was written 
almost 10 years ago and until about 2017 one of our collaborators was stuck VS 
2010 so there was almost _no_ use of C++11, let alone GSL, C++14 and all of the 
recommended modern programming styles. As we update each file for bugs we like 
to have all of the clang-tidy warnings show up to remind us what needs to be 
updated. The downside is just having to wait what seems like forever for the 
functions menu to become available. I look forward to seeing a few more 
"quality of life" improvements in this area added into the next version.

[Qt-creator] QtCreator 4.9 and Clang Tidy Feedback

[Michael Jackson]

Started using the 4.9 betas last week and generally I like the improvements. I 
do like the idea of moving the clang-tidy to the “Analyze” menu in order to 
make it easier to get to. Could we get a “Clang-Tidy current File” (in the same 
idea as Beautifier plugin has Clang-Format current file). That way we can 
update the Clang-Tidy suggestions at our own convenience. QtCreator still takes 
an unacceptably long time when opening a file to just get the method list drop 
down. If I could just tell QtCreator to run Clang-Tidy/Clazy when I want that 
might help alleviate the issues. 

 

Otherwise, great job moving QtCreator forward.

Re: [Qt-creator] Adjusting styles of QtCreator

[Michael Jackson]

After some experimentation I can definitely adjust the scroll bars but along 
with that a lot of the other widgets are also set to the same color. Probably 
what needs to happen is to extend the theming to allow for more granular (my 
personal wish) setting or just a "hard look" at the themes and their use of 
colors for things like scroll bars and other issues. The QtCreator UX is 
generally pretty good but there is always room for improvement.

I may go down the path of compiling QtCreator myself and messing with a style 
sheet for the scroll bars just to see what damage I can do to the UX. __

You will need to have a build of Qt Creator against your distribution's Qt

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS comes with Qt Creator 3.5.1 though, which is a bit dated. 
Building the latest Qt Creator on Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't help either, since it

Hi,

 

On Linux I use the KDE Plasma desktop environment, which you might know uses Qt 
as it's UI toolkit.

 

If you have a build of Qt Creator for KDE Plasma, either your own or from the 
distribution, you will have the Qt KDE theme being used to render the UI.

 

You might find a KDE theme which might have better user experience, not to 
mention of having consistent UI in all desktop applications.

fine. I tried looking in the theme files but unfortunately the comments that

suck and having the scroll bar basically the same color as the scroll “well” or 
background just kind sucks.

 

Thanks from the old people of the world.

Re: [Qt-creator] Clang processes not being stopped when killing a compile

[Michael Jackson]

The ONLY change to my system was moving from Xcode 9.4.1 to Xcode 10.1. When I 
stop the build the cmake process does go away along with the underlying ninja 
process (I used Ninja as the generator) but the all the clang processes are 
still going. I also went into the project settings for this project and 
replaced the default build command with "ninja". Now when I cancel the build 
all the processes stop. I also tried from the command line using "cmake --build 
. --target all" and let that spin up the 24 clang instances and then did a 
"ctrl-c" to kill the process and everything stopped like I would expect. So it 
looks like a strange interaction between QtCreator, CMake and Xcode 10.x.

That sounds like https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-21428

As I commented in that bug report, Qt Creator stops the build command (in 
your case cmake --build, Qt Creator doesn’t know about any processes that 
starts), first “nicely” and after a timeout “not so nicely”. I suppose when 
killing “not so nicely” the system might not care about subprocesses.
Is the “cmake” process gone after you cancel the build?

Is the behavior different for you with a previous Qt Creator version? I’m 
not aware of changes in Qt Creator in that regard.

[Qt-creator] Clang processes not being stopped when killing a compile

[Michael Jackson]

Just updated from Xcode 9.x to 10.1 on macOS 10.13.6 and using QtCreator 4.8.0.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt creator + Clang model = major annoyance

[Michael Jackson]

Marco, 

 Would it be possible to do a two pass parse. The first pass just does the 
CCM but without any diagnostics. The second pass (if needed) then does the 
diagnostics? And if I had the funding to give I would. I have funded features 
of CMake in the past when the need presented itself but currently we find 
ourselves lacking extra funding. Maybe a GoFundMe page?

clang-tidy checks that I want then the time to get even the function list is 
abysmal. I would think a 2 stage parse of the file might work better with 2 
threads: 1 for the initial parser and one for the clang-tidy checks. Waiting 30 
seconds (or sometimes never) for a function list to appear seems like a 
deficiency in my mind.

 

Again, I really appreciate how far QtCreator has come from the “old days” in

Let me chime in a bit on this also and state that during the betas of QtCreator 
I would regularly keep Activity Monitor (macOS) going with “clangbackend” 
filtered so I can force-quit it quite often. This seems to give it a kick that 
it needs to get itself going.

Re: [Qt-creator] Snapshot builds for 4.8

Is this "acting up" something that the larger Qt community might be interested 
in? I have not moved any of our macOS dev machines to 10.14 (Mojave) because of 
some of the unknowns. Knowing some of the issues and how you solve them might 
be an interesting conversation for us macOS  users.

Re: [Qt-creator] QString "not accessible" in Creator 4.6.2?

[Michael Jackson]

We used to use the online installer when we were building up an SDK for our 
project but it just crashes most of the time on Windows so we switched to using 
the full download installer. We use CMake to drive the entire process including 
launching the Qt installer using a javascript file. (Better documentation for 
that would also be helpful). If you are curious as to our use case you can see 
it here:

http://www.github.com/bluequartzsoftware/DREAM3DSuperbuild

If I can go back to using the online installer (must work on Windows 10 
(pro)/8/7) which would install the PDB files that would be great. Can you 
package the PDB files using an installer like for Qt itself? At least that 
would make the installation go much quicker and easier.

The change that introduced this behavior is relative new and would also 
effect a setup with visual studio, because the symbol files are also missing 
there. "offline installer would be too big with PDB files & we just can't 
create it" was the statement. BTW: The online installer is not affected by this.

Re: [Qt-creator] QString "not accessible" in Creator 4.6.2?

[Michael Jackson]

I installed the .pdb files into the
C:\DREAM3D_SDK\Qt5.10.1\5.10.1\msvc2017_64 directory which correctly put
all of them into the appropriate sub-directories. I also edited the PATH
environment variable for the project to include those directories and I
still get the issue. I have reinstalled the Windows 10 SDK (I'm on Windows
10 x64) with VS 2017 latest update) according to
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-engines.html. I would really
like to switch from VS 2017 to QtCreator on Windows ( I use QtCreator on
macOS). I'm just not sure what I am doing wrong. I guess I could dig up my
Windows 10 serial number and just clean install windows and start over.

I don't think I remember ever having to do this with Visual Studio but I'll 
bite. So I downloaded the pdb zip file? I have Qt 5.10.1 with VS2017 x64. Where 
do I install the pdb files? My build dir? Or somewhere in the Qt5 installation?

Re: [Qt-creator] QtCreator 4.7 RC Feedback

[Michael Jackson]

Ok, Good suggestion. I went back and for the QtC 4.6 test the Clang code model 
was turned off. So I went back and tried again. The Syntax highlighting took 
about 5 seconds for the particular file that I am using as my benchmark. More 
Importantly the drop down was populated with the methods of the class in about 
2 seconds which is reasonable. At least I can start navigating quickly. By the 
time I find the method I am interested in, the syntax highlighting is kicking 
in. With QtC 4.7 it is a different story. The function drop down appears at the 
same time as I get the highlighting which is about 10 seconds based on my 
screen captures. Of course I also get the full syntax highlighting at that 
point also BUT not I have to wait that entire time. I guess I would rather have 
the function drop down get populated first, then the syntax highlighting/code 
completion if that takes longer? Of course I could argue it both ways. I got 
used to the way that Qt4.5 and 4.6 did it so now having to wait breaks the 
cadence of opening a file and getting right to work on it.

 

My system is macOS 10.13.x on a 2013 15” MacBook Pro. I sure hope that Xcode’s 
libClang is not getting in the way. I would hope that the one from QtC is used. 
Not sure how I would check that.

 

I can do some side by side screen recordings showing the differences on my 
system anyone is interested.

Hi!
If the initial parsing time is absolutely crucial for you you can turn 
ClangCodeModel plugin off (it's turned on be default since 4.7). ClangCodeModel 
provides more precise results but takes longer to parse files. We did some work 
to make it faster but the most recent part of it was mostly about code 
completion.

Also it's important that you use our prebuilt libclang shipped with Qt Creator 
installer but not the one in your system because it might provide the slowdown.

 

Hope that my answer helps you

Subject: [Qt-creator] QtCreator 4.7 RC Feedback 

 

Just wanted to throw some feedback while I use the 4.7 Betas and RCs on my 
macOS systems. For the most part I like what I am seeing but there currently is 
an issue that is really starting to get in the way. The speed at which a C++ 
file is parsed so that all the syntax highlighting and coloring becomes 
available is taking way too long. With QtCreator 4.5 and 4.6 I would open a 
file and only a second at most would pass and the method drop downs would be 
populated and I could start navigating. With the 4.7 series (latest I pulled 
was from July 4th) it takes 10 seconds to get the syntax highlighting and 
navigating. (I did a side-by-side comparison with a screen recording to verify 
the times).
I know that QtCreator is still in the RC mode and still being developed but 
that wait times are making navigating a real issue. My question: Are there 
still optimizations still being worked on for the final release? I know from a 
previous post that the code model and clang-tidy were thrown onto separate 
threads for good reasons but something else is happening to slow down that 
initial parse/navigation stage.

  Again, thank you for the wonderful IDE that I use and rely on every day. I 
don't think I could develop C++ codes on macOS without it.

Re: [Qt-creator] What are your favorite clang-tidy checks

[Michael Jackson]

That is Great news. I'll pull it down when I get back from holiday. I really 
love/hate the clang-tidy checks. Love them because it is like having a really 
experienced C++ programmer looking over your shoulder the whole time. Hate them 
because it shows us just how many things we need to fix in our code base. With 
QtCreator 4.7 looks like I can turn them back on.

Re: [Qt-creator] What are your favorite clang-tidy checks

[Michael Jackson]

Can I just have it blanket fix ALL issues that it finds in a file? Kind of like 
“Clang Format” but for Clang-Tidy? I have been toying with writing a script 
that would attempt to do that for our code base.

 

I guess I should download the latest QtCreator and give that a spin.

Hello everyone,

 

I use QtCreator as my IDE for almost all projects and recently I upgraded to 
version 4.6.0

 

Immediately I noticed the improvements compared to the version I used 
previously. Especially in qml-files.

Love the “found usage” feature and the new typo detection e.g. missing 
characters in color-strings etc.

 

Now the only thing really missing is a fully-fledged refactoring feature J

 

I want to use this moment and express gratitude to all, who contributed to the 
IDE in any way shape or form!

 

Thank you very much, I appreciate it every day.

 

 

Best regards 

Jonas Hilk

I think this is a good idea. Another feature along the same lines is when you

As a refinement to the idea, if there was a documentation string, that would be

Lot's of them:-) All nicely defined in lots of RegExps.

The actual patterns used do depend a lot on your project though:
Creator uses a list of IOutputParsers and feeds all stdout/stderr text
from the build process through the chain of parsers.

The actual parsers in the chain do depend on OS, build system used,
compiler selected, whether you use Qt or not and probably some more
factors:-)

> Sometime those programs actually _do_ error out and we want those errors

You will need to add another outputparser to the chain then or extend
an existing parser to match the messages you want.

I am happy to add more patterns, provided they are generally
applicable of course and that somebody provides the necessary test
data (the actual error messages and whether those come from stdout or
stderr).

Best Regards,
Tobias


I'm using Qt classes, we compile on Linux (GCC), macOS (clang) and Windows (VS 
2015/2017). We use C++ and CMake for the build system. The part that throws a 
false positive is a custom build step where we call "cmake -P" to load another 
generated script. It is that script that puts out the error messages. I used to 
have the absolute path to the CMake script file as part of the output but that 
seemed to trigger the error. Now I just put "MKDOCS: Something happened" and 
that seems to not trigger the error messages.

Could you point me to the regex expressions? I don't really have the source for 
QtCreator up and compiling at the moment.

Tobias,
  Figured it out! When you change versions of CMake in the "Kits" QtCreator 
will re-run CMake with that changed version BUT it looks like QtCreator deletes 
the current CMakeCache.txt file and completely starts over which will basically 
force a mostly clean build. If I change versions of CMake on the command line 
the current CMakeCache.txt file is used and I don't get the "rebuild" issue.

So is there an explicit piece of code in QtCreator that deletes the 
CMakeCache.txt when the version of CMake is changed in the Kits? Is this the 
recommended thing to do from the CMake Devs?

Thanks
Mike Jackson

Tobias,
I am trying to figure out the difference between the following 2 
workflows.

1:
 + From a terminal, configure project with CMake
 + Build project. [ All files are compiled ]
 + rerun CMake on the current build folder.
 + Build project. NO files are rebuilt. Ninja takes about 4 seconds to 4 run.

2:
  + Open QtCreator and "Open Project" by pointing at the Top Level 
CMakeLists.txt file
  + QtCreator configures the project into a temp directory.
  + Click the "Build Project" Hammer Icon. QtCreator then reconfigures project 
into the proper build directory and proceeds to build the entire project.
  + Quit QtCreator.
  + Open QtCreator and load the project. QtCreator loads the project by running 
CMake again on the build directory.
  + Click the Hammer Icon to build the project. A VERY Large portion of the 
project is rebuilt (1100 files out of 1900 files total).

I can't get this to recreate often. I had it happen on my macOS machine when I 
was running QtCreator 4.3 a lot. That seems to have settled down but then I had 
it happen yesterday on my Windows 10, running VS2015 tooling with Ninja as the 
build system. CMake version on the Windows 10 machine was 3.8.x.

And yes, I do create more than a few header files that are included in many of 
the files BUT I wrote specific CMake code to generate the header into a temp 
file, compare that file with any existing file via an MD5 hash and if the 
contents are different only then is the new header file copied into place. I 
did this specifically because I was having this same issue with *all* the build 
systems that I was using.

Is QtCreator doing any kind of file stat or file copy before/during/after the 
CMake phase? I just can not figure out what is triggering the full builds.

Thanks
Mike Jackson

PS: I like the adjustments to the CMake projects in QtCreator 4.4. Easier to 
navigate around the project structure.

I have seen this problem more than a few times and with a 45 minute build time

QtCreator and relaunched QtCreator. I use ninja as the build tool.

Just to sanity check our CMake code I dropped out to a command line and went 
into a clean build directory, ran CMake, built, ran cmake again and built and 
the second build did nothing as nothing needed to be done. I can replicate this 
on a semi regular basis but I can't pin down what is happening inside of 
QtCreator that forces something to be regenerated on the CMake side. Our CMake 
codes do generate some header files which I think is somehow interacting with 
QtCreator's cmake support to somehow regenerate those files when the probably 
should not have been generated?

Thoughts on this is much appreciated.

Hi,


I have the same problem that is mentioned in QTCREATORBUG-17944 
: cmake keeps

files as well, which is very annoying since I use a rather large project.

Is there a way to not use CMake Server mode in Qt 4.3rc1?

help. I tried LLDB from the command line but did not figure out how to set a 
break point. (I have never done LLDB from the command line) but I will work on 
that one just to make sure. 

I will also try doing a complete clean build of my project.

Thanks

Re: [Qt-creator] LLDB consumes large amounts of memory (Multi Gigabytes)

[Michael Jackson]

I finally just decided to let LLDB run until it finished what ever it wanted to 
do. After consuming 7.65GB worth of RAM QtCreator was able to finally show me 
the variables. What do I need to report back to QtBug reports to get this 
looked at? It really breaks the ability to debug our codes. This was with LLDB 
version lldb-310.2.37 on OS X 10.8.5 (Xcode 5.1.1 tooling). I also tried LLDB 
3.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 and while the memory load did not happen, LLDB spun for a 
bit then just crashes.

Using Xcode 5.1.1 for our project and setting the exact same break point in the 
code does not exhibit this issue so I am pretty positive that this is an issue 
with the QtCreator<-->LLDB integration somehow.

[Qt-creator] LLDB consumes large amounts of memory (Multi Gigabytes)

[Michael Jackson]

We are trying to use the LLDB debugger under OS X 10.10.5 with Xcode 6.4 for 
our project. When using the QtCreator 3.5 release and attempting to stop at a 
break point LLDB spins up to 100% CPU and eventually uses all the memory on the 
machine (About 8 GB). I eventually have to force quit LLDB and basically can 
not debug. The version of LLDB that comes with Xcode 6.4 is 330.0.48. 

Has anyone else seen this problem with QtCreator? If I generate the same 
project as an Xcode project then I have no problems stopping at breakpoints and 
no memory issues.

[Qt-creator] Is 3.5 Officially released?

[Michael Jackson]

I normally download the nightly builds for testing but I noticed the RC1 did 
not build last night so I went up a directory and found the 3.5.0 directory 
which had builds. Has 3.5 been officially released? I did not see anything in 
the blog about it?

Re: [Qt-creator] Where to find more information from Clang indexing errors

[Michael Jackson]

Ah HAH! While looking at the logs for libClang I noticed that the very first 
include path was for a clang include directory that is part of the QtCreator 
package. On a hunch I dug into the QtCreator.app package, found the include 
directory and renamed it include.bak. Fired up QtCreator and opened my source 
files that usual give the Clang Code model issues and EVERY instance that could 
not be completed or was colored incorrectly before was NOW correct and 
functioning perfectly.

Again, my system essentially has Clang 3.4 but QtCreator includes 3.6 and its 
own include files. I think these headers conflict with what is on the system in 
such a way to really cause issues with the Clang code model. 

This is on OS X 10.8.5, 10.9. and 10.10.4. Each of those systems have the 
maximum version of Xcode supported for that version of OS X.

Hope this helps.

First Reproducible Example: Clang code model can not find a definition for

10.10) but NOT linux or Windows.


#include stdint.h

We have a templated class that we create some typedef's for and this issue just 
kills the autocompletion with those classes.

No trying to be difficult here so here goes. I created a qtlogging.ini  in 
~/Library/Preferences and inside several locations in the QtCreator.app 
package. Reading through the web page does not tell me where to look for the 
log file. I looked in all the usual locations on OS X include /var/log 
~/Library/Log but I am not seeing anything obvious there.

Also are there certain arguments that QtCreator uses with libClang? Things 
like -Wall or something that has an equivalent clang command line argument? 
Maybe if I put those into my compile specification I can have my compiler 
produce the same warnings?

Also, how can I force QtCreator to reindex my project? Is there a file 
somewhere that I can delete?

[Qt-creator] Clang Code Model and Performance

[Michael Jackson]

We have been using the latest 3.5 Betas here at work (Because we need the CMake 
fixes) and while we like the completeness of the clang code model the 
performance is fairly slow. Our laptops are running OS X 10.8 or 10.9, Core i7 
2.6GHz with 16GBs RAM. Both have SSDs. While we are typing code completions 
average around 3-4 seconds and completely stop us from typing. The block the 
GUI in other words. I understand this version is a Beta and slowness is to be 
expected. As a software developer I understand this. My question is more aimed 
at “ …. is this slowness to be expected” or “.. we know about it and we are 
actively trying to speed it up.”. I have not compared it to things like Xcode 
that also uses a clang code model but in the times lately that I have used 
Xcode I do not remember it being too slow.

Our project (http://www.github.com/dream3d/dream3d) has about 1,100 source 
files that are compiled and depends on other libraries such as (Qt 5.4, Qwt, 
Boost, TBB, Eigen, and ITK). I am wondering if libraries that are heavily 
templated like Boost, ITK and Eigen slow the completion down.

Thanks for any comments.

 I am running on OS X 10.8.5 and there are a few problems that I have figured

 @rpath/Plugins/libClang.dylib
 
 Also, the rpath that is actually linked to is lib clang-3.6.dylib which

 Yes, + the clangbackend tool is wrongly deployed as well.
 https://codereview.qt-project.org/114758

Good to see a bug report on the issue. Hopefully that will be integrated soon 
into the nightlies?

 
 Adding a few symlinks and moving the lib clang.dylib from plugins up one 
 directory allowed OS X QtCreator to load the Clang Code model plugin but 
 then QtCreator just beach balled and never ever responded again.
 
 I also noticed that the Download as OSX10.10 which implies that QtCreator 
 ONLY works on OS X 10.10? Is this true going forward or just for these

 The name only states that the binaries were created on OS X 10.10, but the 
 deployment target is still 10.7 as before. Actually I’m not sure why the name 
 contains this information  probably a side effect of moving to a 
 different infrastructure.

Also good to know as I tried QtCreator on OS X 10.8.5 and it seems to work fine 
(minus the whole clang code model). I’ll wait for the next nightly to see if it 
starts to work. Most likely my install_name_tool hacks were now quite correct 
as QtCreator just seems to hang if I make it so that libClang is found.

[Qt-creator] CMake Project Model and Includes Paths

[Michael Jackson]

I have been using the latest 3.5 Beta of Creator in combination with the latest 
CMake 3.3 RC and all the include paths now work. Which means the code 
completion is back to working again. The C++ code model shows all of our 
executables. I would like to thank everyone involved who submitted ideas and 
patches. It was a long road but we finally got here. This one fix really 
improves our lives when using QtCreator with our Qt  CMake based project.

[Qt-creator] Clang Code model can not find libClang 3.6

[Michael Jackson]

Just tried the QtCreator 3.5 Beta and tried to load the Clang code model and it 
says that it can not load libClang. Could someone remind me of the wiki page 
that has the instructions on how to get the Clang code model up and running?

Thanks

 Ah, let me guess, each of these directories has a CMakeLists.txt in the 
 source tree with a project() command in it? I don't have a project that 
 complicated luckily :) There's only a single project command in the whole 
 cmake tree.

Actually, 
 You are correct. I did not think of that. This would explain a few things and 
how the Creator developers may have missed this as they probably test with 
fairly simple CMake projects. Wish I had the time to dig into the source of 
Creator to patch it up a bit. I think this would definitely improve the CMake 
import/support in Creator.

Our current project massages this issue so badly that most of our code will not 
auto-complete any more. I have tried rearranging our entire project setup, 
tweaking cmake files and a few other ideas (generate generic projects, generate 
QBS JSON files from CMake) but in the end we are all switching to Visual Studio 
2013 @$500 per developer. We have nightly builds for all the platforms so we 
will rely on those to tell us if we do something that does not compile on other 
platforms.

  I'm working with qtcreator on a cmake-based project that has plenty of 
  conditionally-included source files in the CMakeLists.txt. That is various 
  files are only included when building on mac or win32. Hence these files do 
  not end up in the generated codeblocks project file.
 
  It seems QtCreator bases its 'files in project' locator solely on this list 
  of files from the codeblocks file and I'm wondering wether there's an easy 
  way to make it consider all files that are part of the git repository or at 
  least all files in directories it has in the projects tree.
 
  Even though I don't want to and cannot edit these files since I cannot 
  compile them I regularly read them to check certain things and having to 
  switch to another machine just for that would be quite annoying. Similarly 
  annoying is to have to use the normal file-open dialog to open these after 
  having opened another file in that directory and that does not work at all 
  if a whole subdir is disabled on my platform in cmake.
 
 Since we do not parse the cmake files ourselves, Qt Creator only knows about 
 the files in the project that are used by the configuration that you use to 
 run cmake to generate the codeblocks project file.
 
 Please note that the base directory for the “Files in File System (f)” 
 locator filter is the directory of the current editor. That is something that 
 I use very often.
 
 You can also create your own filter that provides all files from some 
 directory tree(s)
 http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-editor-locator.html#creating-locator-filters
 though these use a static list of directories and are saved globally. 
 (Possibly it would make sense to have them optionally saved in the session 
 instead.)
 
 A filter that provides access to all included files from all C++ files in 
 your projects, even if they are not listed in any project, is also in the 
 works
 (https://codereview.qt-project.org/101408) but that will not solve your 
 problem for files that belong to a different configuration.
 
 Yeah, I'm using the fact that Ctrl+O uses the editor's directory as base as 
 well. So thats my workaround for now for files in a directory thats known to 
 cmake already.
 
 It would be nice if the 'Projects' view data model had a switch to either 
 consider all vcs-known files in addition to what the projects buildsystem 
 provided (like the generic-project setup) or a mode where it considers 
 everything in the projects directory to be part of the project. I can see how 
 the latter would be an issue for projects building in-source or using special 
 subdirs for their build output, so it would have to be optional I guess.
 
 Maybe I should check with the cmake list wether there are ways to customize 
 what ends up in the codeblocks file without having to try to build those 
 sources similar to how the VS-generator provides some special things to 
 configure the look of the project in the IDE.
 
 It seems having a custom filter for the project directory could work, though 
 refreshing it is a little cumbersome (would be nice if that would be hooked 
 up with filesystem-watcher).
 
 Either way, thanks for confirming that I didn't just overlook something 
 obvious.

So I use the File System View on the left side to get at files that are not 
part of the project but are located in my project. Things like .rc, images, 
CMake files (*.cmake) and some other misc files and I find that is a good 
workaround for NOT having them just show up in the Project. Eclipse has 2 views 
for projects. One is the traditional project view that only considers the 
files that the project knows about. The other view is the true File System 
view which is just a tree starting at the level of the Project Root Directory 
and shows EVERY file no matter what. I think this works really well and is 
close to the File System view that already exists in Creator.


Also, I think part of QtCreator's problems with CMake files is that QtCreator 
only considers the top level code blocks file that is generated. There are 
other code block files within the build tree that fully describe all the files 
for a project, include paths, compiler invocations and things like that. This 
is leading to other problems with include paths not being found (See bug 
reports).

Just my 2 Cents

Re: [Qt-creator] Helping out QtCreator find my include paths

[Michael Jackson]

Both Linux Mint 17.1 with CMake 3.1.0 (Self Built) and OS X 10.8.5 and 10.9.x 
and 10.10.x using CMake 3.1.0 downloaded from Cmake.org.

Can I manually create a *.includes file to temporarily help out QtCreator?

Thanks
Mike Jackson

 Hi,
 
 What platform are you on and what version of cmake do you use? I am using 
 ubuntu 14.04 verison of cmake 2.8.12.2 and a source built qtcreator. There it 
 works fine. What i do know is that old cmake versions do not create correct 
 project files for qtcreator to parse.

 tried making one up but I have no idea what to really name the file, where to 
 put it or what. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. Here is my setup.
 
 I open QtCreator and select Open Project and proceed to select my 
 CMakeLists.txt file. I go through the normal cmake process and select a build 
 directory and successfully create the project. My main project is in a folder 
 called DREAM3D. In the CMakeLists.txt file, the top level project is called 
 DREAM3DProj. I create a directory called Build inside the DREAM3D 
 directory to hold all the build files. What should I name my .includes file 
 and where should I put it?
 
 I am using QtCreator 3.3.1 Nightly builds.
 
 Thanks for any help
