## How to Build
|
|
|
|
Create a build directory and run
|
|
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path_to_qtcreator> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo <path_to_plugin_source>
|
|
cmake --build .
|
|
|
|
where `<path_to_qtcreator>` is the relative or absolute path to a Qt Creator build directory, or to a
|
|
combined binary and development package (Windows / Linux), or to the `Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/`
|
|
directory of a combined binary and development package (macOS), and `<path_to_plugin_source>` is the
|
|
relative or absolute path to this plugin directory.
|
|
|
|
## How to Run
|
|
|
|
Run a compatible Qt Creator with the additional command line argument
|
|
|
|
-pluginpath <path_to_plugin>
|
|
|
|
where `<path_to_plugin>` is the path to the resulting plugin library in the build directory
|
|
(`<plugin_build>/lib/qtcreator/plugins` on Windows and Linux,
|
|
`<plugin_build>/Qt Creator.app/Contents/PlugIns` on macOS).
|
|
|
|
You might want to add `-temporarycleansettings` (or `-tcs`) to ensure that the opened Qt Creator
|
|
instance cannot mess with your user-global Qt Creator settings.
|
|
|
|
When building and running the plugin from Qt Creator, you can use
|
|
|
|
-pluginpath "%{buildDir}/lib/qtcreator/plugins" -tcs
|
|
|
|
on Windows and Linux, or
|
|
|
|
-pluginpath "%{buildDir}/Qt Creator.app/Contents/PlugIns" -tcs
|
|
|
|
for the `Command line arguments` field in the run settings.
