Creator does not use CPATH/C_INCLUDE_PATH for code parsing

[AlexTiger]

Hello!

I'm using QtCreator as code editor. I added the following new env variables to project settings:


CPATH = /home/alex/Сервер/Dropbox/Projects/Smilodon2/bin/
C_INCLUDE_PATH = /home/alex/Сервер/Dropbox/Projects/Smilodon2/bin/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /home/alex/Сервер/Dropbox/Projects/Smilodon2/bin/

Everything compiles and works well. But the QtCreator isn't able to find my header files and highlights "unknown" types as errors:

12234

This file exists (the compiler also can see it):

alex@laptop:~$ ls -l /home/alex/Сервер/Dropbox/Projects/Smilodon2/bin/
итого 50
drwxrwx--- 1 alex alex 4096 нояб. 30 16:37 libsmilo
-rwxrwx--- 1 alex alex 10493 нояб. 30 16:37 libsmilo.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alex alex 50 нояб. 30 16:37 libsmilo.so -> libsmilo.so.0.15.9368
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alex alex 50 нояб. 30 16:37 libsmilo.so.0 -> libsmilo.so.0.15.9368
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alex alex 50 нояб. 30 16:37 libsmilo.so.0.15 -> libsmilo.so.0.15.9368
-rwxrwx--- 1 alex alex 31385 нояб. 30 16:37 libsmilo.so.0.15.9368
drwxrwx--- 1 alex alex 0 нояб. 30 16:37 tests


How can I ask QtCreator to follow CPATH/C_INCLUDE_PATH correctly? I *need* to use <..> brackets as my project will be installed as library. But for tests I need to deploy it locally.


UPDATED:
I have found that I can make it to see includes right if I start it with CPATH set variable:

alex@laptop:~$ CPATH=/home/alex/Сервер/Dropbox/Projects/Smilodon2/bin /opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

So, looks like the problem is that the creator ignores CPATH in project settings when parsing the code.

What makes you think that creator should use random environment variables to feed it's code model?

Just use a supported build system and set that up to use the proper include paths and creator will use those settings. Or if you have to use a generic project, put the include paths into the expected file.
