Qt Creator: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:21, 5 December 2016

Effortless debugging
Full CMake support using CMakeLists.txt - Qt build and run parameters are stored in CMakeLists.txt.user

A new project defaults to an "all" build/run configuration; you will want build {debug|release} and run {debug|release} configs
- Use the projects button in the sidebar
- Rename "all" build to "release"

Build dir: ./cmake-release
Delete make step, replace with custom step: 
  cmd: ./build.sh
  working dir: %{buildDir}

add arguments, eg: melange 8080 test reanalyze
working dir: use the project dir
[x] Run in terminal

Tools->Options->Environment->Terminal-> dropdown should include: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -x

Clunky multi-window support; this gives you a new window that you can put on a different monitor; but you have to keep the Qt Creator command window around, don't use it to edit though bc ctrl-tab may pop you into another window

Window-> Open in new window

 === DEBUGGING ===
-* I was able to build lws in debug, install in /usr/local, then I could step right into its code
+See [[Development reference]].
- m@case:~/development/causam/git/np/nop-bigress-client-c$ ./build_lws_debug
-  Install the project...
-  -- Install configuration: "DEBUG"
-  -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libwebsockets.pc
-  -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libwebsockets.a
-  -- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/libwebsockets.h
-  (etc)
-* To debug into an included library that is not installed system-wide:
- use Tools->Options->General->Source Paths Map
-  source: /home/m/development/causam/git/nop-bigress-client-c/cmake-debug
-    that's the COMPLETE PATH TO DEBUG EXE
-  target: /home/m/development/causam/git/libwebsockets-master/lib
-    at first i thought this would work: /usr/local/lib
-    but i did a static build so i needed teh actual exe!  COOL
