How to configure CLion IDE for Qt Framework? Is this IDE compatible with Qt, or are there other IDEs compatible with Qt?
I just want to try to use something else tha
This approach is one of the simplest way to be used for the newest Qt version.
Qt: 5.10.1
CLion: 2018.1.2
GDB: 8.1
Project setup
In CLion:
CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(PROJECT_NAME)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "PATH_TO_QT/QT_VERSION/QT_ARCH/lib/cmake")
find_package(Qt5Core REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt5Quick REQUIRED)
add_executable(PROJECT_NAME main.cpp MainWindow.cpp MainWindow.h qml.qrc)
target_link_libraries(PROJECT_NAME Qt5::Core)
target_link_libraries(PROJECT_NAME Qt5::Widgets)
target_link_libraries(PROJECT_NAME Qt5::Quick)
Resource files (.qrc) should be added to add_executable list, in order for moc to be able to run its procedure on the resource and the internal file like qmls, texts, ... be accessible.
qml files should be included in a qrc file and load using QQmlApplicationEngine at runtime
Debuger:
In order to has a human-readable view in debug sessions from Qt types, A new GDB must be installed on the system and pretty printers must be available:
Pretty printers for Qt5:
1- Lekensteyn Qt5 Pretty Printers (Working):
Address: https://github.com/Lekensteyn/qt5printers
Setup: ~/.gdbinit
python
import sys, os.path
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.expanduser('~/.gdb'))
import qt5printers
qt5printers.register_printers(gdb.current_objfile())
end
2- Official (not working!!!):
"PATH_TO_QT/QT_VERSION/QT_ARCH/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/debugger/"
Setup: ~/.gdbinit
As stated in included readme file (but not working!):
python sys.path.insert(1, '<path/to/qtcreator>/share/qtcreator/debugger/')
python from gdbbridge import *
External tools
In "File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools", add 4 external tools:
Qt Creator:
Program: "PATH_TO_QT/QT_VERSION/QT_ARCH/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator"
Arguments: $FilePath$
UI Designer:
Program: "PATH_TO_QT/QT_VERSION/QT_ARCH/lib/bin/designer")
Arguments: $FilePath$
LUpdate:
Program: "PATH_TO_QT/QT_VERSION/QT_ARCH/lib/bin/lupdate")
Arguments: $FilePath$ -ts $FileNameWithoutExtension$.ts
Linguist:
Program: "PATH_TO_QT/QT_VERSION/QT_ARCH/lib/bin/linguist")
Arguments: $FilePath$
Now you can right click these file types and under the external tool:
Automatic Beautifier
If in Qt Creator you used a beautifier like "Uncrustify" to auto beautify the code on saving a source file, then:
