\title Getting and Building Qt Creator

TODO: This should be extended.

* Windows specific hassle, see README in \QC sources

|
|
|
There are several reasons why you might want to do your own build of \QC,
|
|
like using the most current development version and being able to tweak \QC
|
|
at one or the other place. It is also necessary if you want to create your
|
|
own \QC plugin.
|
|
|
|
\section1 Getting Qt
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt \QC packages usually use the latest stable release of Qt. You can
|
|
see the exact minimum requirement at the top of \QC's \c {qtcreator.pro}.
|
|
(You can find the current version in our source repository here:
|
|
\l{https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/qtcreator.pro#n4}.)
|
|
|
|
You can get prebuilt Qt packages from
|
|
\l{https://download.qt.io}{Qt Downloads}. If you want to use Qt as provided
|
|
by your Linux distribution, you need to make sure that all Qt development
|
|
packages and private header packages are also installed.
|
|
|
|
\section1 Getting and Building \QC
|
|
|
|
You can get the \QC sources for a specific version either by using one of
|
|
the released source bundles, or from the Git repository
|
|
\l{https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git}. If you intend to
|
|
contribute to \QC itself, you should use the repository from our Gerrit
|
|
review tool as described in:
|
|
\l{https://wiki.qt.io/Setting_up_Gerrit}{Setting up Gerrit}.
|
|
|
|
We strongly encourage you to do out-of-source builds of \QC (also called
|
|
shadow-builds).
|
|
|
|
After you put the \QC sources somewhere (lets call the path
|
|
\c {<QtCreatorSources>})
|
|
you build it on Linux and Mac with
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
cd <QtCreatorSources>/..
|
|
mkdir qtcreator-build
|
|
cd qtcreator-build
|
|
<QtInstall>/bin/qmake -r <QtCreatorSources>
|
|
make
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
or the corresponding commands on Windows systems.
