[MacOSX,eclipse CDT]want eclipse to know Qt classes

**lolveley** · 27th July 2007, 19:50

Hello,

I have recently installed Qt4.3, then eclipse CDT.
I would like to make Qt projects having classes recognizes by eclipse (with code completion), but now it's impossible: eclipse does not compile this example:

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <QApplication>
#include <QFont>
#include <QPushButton>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    QPushButton quit("Quit");
 
    quit.resize(75, 30);
    quit.setFont(QFont("Times", 18, QFont::Bold));
 
    QObject::connect(&quit, SIGNAL(clicked()), &app, SLOT(quit()));
 
    quit.show();
 
    return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QFont>
#include <QPushButton>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QPushButton quit("Quit");

    quit.resize(75, 30);
    quit.setFont(QFont("Times", 18, QFont::Bold));

    QObject::connect(&quit, SIGNAL(clicked()), &app, SLOT(quit()));

    quit.show();

    return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I think that eclipse is bad-configured, and I'm in search of a tutorial which says what to append to the linker path, or to the compiler path (I found such a tutorial a few days ago but since I lost it and I can't retrieve it).

I tried to follow another tutorial (Qt in 10 steps) but without any success: I created a project, copied the example above, copied a example.pro file from the tutorial, and created targets, but I have an error message saying the file example.pro is not reacheable...

anyway, I prefer the first tutorial.

thank you,

lolveley.

Here is a screenshot of eclipse.

See the Qt Eclipse Integration on Trolltech.com.
Eclipse is pretty hard to be configured manually.

no, that is not possible; I tried but the plugin is for windows and linux, not for MacOSX: it does not work on macs.

could you show me the way to configure eclipse, marcel?

I would help, but I never configured it on Mac.
Didn't know that the integration isn't available.

But from the errors looks like Eclipse is missing the Qt include dirs.
Try setting them and also make sure that $QTDIR is pointing to your installation and $QTDIR/bin is in the path.

But, even if you manage to get rid of those errors, you will further have problems with moc and ui. Eclipse won't know to call them automatically for the right files.

Here's a thread that might help you: http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-intere...ad00518-0.html.
