Rename "Tool Chains" option page to "Compilers"
Currently it contains compiler settings only, so there's no need to let people search for e.g. debugger settings there, that might be considered part of the toolchain, too. Change-Id: I458f3d1cf1784b85820f8af7604a2a004372a909 Reviewed-by: hjk <qthjk@ovi.com>

\title Adding Compilers
|
||||
|
||||
A \e {tool chain} specifies a compiler and other necessary
|
||||
tools for building an application that is \l{glossary-development-target}
|
||||
{targeted} for a particular platform. \QC automatically detects the tool
|
||||
chains that are registered by your system or by \QSDK.
|
||||
|
||||
You can add tool chains to build applications by using other compilers or
|
||||
with different versions of the automatically detected compilers:
|
||||
|
||||
\list
|
||||
|
||||
\o GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler for Linux and
|
||||
Mac OS X.
|
||||
|
||||
\o MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) is a native software port of GCC
|
||||
and GNU Binutils for use in the development of native Microsoft
|
||||
Windows applications on Windows. MinGW is
|
||||
distributed together with \QC and Qt SDK for Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
\o Linux ICC (Intel C++ Compiler) is a group of C and C++ compilers
|
||||
for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
\o Clang is a C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ front-end for the
|
||||
LLVM compiler for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
To build an application using GCC, MinGW, or Clang, specify the paths
|
||||
to the directories where the compiler and debugger are located and select
|
||||
the application binary interface (ABI) version from the list of available
|
||||
versions. You can also create a custom ABI definition.
|
||||
|
||||
You specify the tool chain to use for each \l{glossary-development-target}
|
||||
{target} in \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui {Build & Run} > \gui Targets.
|
||||
|
||||
To add tool chains:
|
||||
|
||||
\list 1
|
||||
|
||||
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options > Build & Run > Compilers > Add} and
|
||||
select a
|
||||
compiler in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
\image qtcreator-toolchains.png
|
||||
|
||||
To clone the selected tool chain, select \gui {Clone}.
|
||||
|
||||
\o In the \gui Name column, double-click the name to change it.
|
||||
|
||||
\o In the \gui{Compiler path} field, enter the path to the directory
|
||||
where the compiler is located.
|
||||
\if defined(qcmanual)
|
||||
For WINSCW, enter the path to the Carbide C++ installation directory
|
||||
here.
|
||||
\endif
|
||||
|
||||
The other settings to specify depend on the tool chain.
|
||||
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
\section2 Troubleshooting MinGW Compilation Errors
|
||||
|
||||
If error messages displayed in the \gui {Compile Output} pane contain
|
||||
paths where slashes are missing (for example, C:QtSDK),
|
||||
check your PATH variable. At the command line, enter the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
\code
|
||||
where sh.exe
|
||||
where make.exe
|
||||
where mingw32-make.exe
|
||||
\endcode
|
||||
|
||||
If these commands show paths, they have been added to the global PATH
|
||||
variable during the installation of a tool chain based on Cygwin or MinGW,
|
||||
even though this is against Windows conventions.
|
||||
|
||||
To keep working with the third-party tool chain, create a new shell link
|
||||
that adds the required paths (as Visual Studio and Qt do). The shell link
|
||||
must point to cmd.exe, as illustrated by the following example:
|
||||
|
||||
\c {C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K C:\path_to\myenv.bat}
|
||||
|
||||
where the /K parameter carries out the command specified in the bat file.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the myenv.bat file at \e path_to, which should be in a convenient
|
||||
location. In the file, specify the paths to the tool chains. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
\c {set PATH=C:\path1;C:\path2;%PATH%}
|
||||
|
||||
where \e path1 and \e path2 are paths to the tool chains.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, remove the paths from the global PATH, reboot the computer, and
|
||||
run the \c where commands again to verify that the global PATH is now clean.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the shell link to run the tools in the third-party tool chains.
