How to build on Qt designer?

[Bestija]

I followed the guide on the install page and installed oF (qt, msys2). In the mingw terminal examples compile just fine, however I can’t get qt designer to work. It has the “build” option grayed out and says that I have no files in my project even though I used the wizard to create a blank project and that very same blank project does compile under the mingw shell.

What am I doing wrong?
(Win 10, tried oF 0.9.8 and 0.10.0)

do you get any errors in the issues section? you can select it in the bottom left

[Bestija]

No. That section is completely blank. @arturo

there seems to be a message in the top that is hidden below the menu in your previous post, can you post a screenshot of the whole qt creator window?

[Bestija]

There’s the full window.

Hi,

I’ve got the same problem.
Qt Creator 4.6 - OF 0.10.0 RC4 - Windows 7

A solution is to close the project and open it again. Then I have this

and just click the “configure” button solve the problem.

[Bestija]

Thanks @lilive, it does do some good however now I get more errors

How can I fix those?

@Bestija what version of qtcreator are you using?

[Bestija]

4.6.0 but I also tried with an older version with no success.

have you run the install_dependencies script and set the path as explained in the setup guide? if so can you try to delete this line:

log.error("couldn't find gnu find, returning find, you probably need to set a correct path");

in libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/qtcreator/modules/of/helpers.js

Have you completely set up your build environment? You mention msys2 but I didn’t see you also say MinGW (or other compiler like cmake)

see the following examples:

note, you don’t have to have the same setup as me, but the idea is you at least want to have something in the compiler fields.
