Hi everyone. I’d like to get involved in developing for KDE. I’ve been going through the process described on the KDE Community development site, but I’m having issues with configuring QT Creator specifically.
In particular, in the CMake section, the instructions say:
In the “Initial Configuration” tab, press “Batch Edit”, then paste the text from the generated file located at
~/kde/src/kcalc/.qtcreator/cmake_Initial_Configuration.txt.
However, when I try to navigate to the .qtcreator hidden file, it’s not in the kcalc directory.
I’ve tried retracing all of the steps several times to see if I missed something and haven’t found anything yet. What is supposed to generate that file and that directory? Is there an explicit command to do so? I have successfully built kcalc using kdesrc-build.
I also tried running this:
kde-builder kcalc --no-include-dependencies --no-src --build-system-only --generate-qtcreator-project-config
But it said that my kdesrc-buildrc file was in error and said to replace “install-environment-driver” with “install-login-session.” I did that, and then it said that the added instruction “generate-qtcreator-project-config true” needed to be removed. I commented that out, but then the config wasn’t generated I guess.
In any case, I’d appreciate any help here. Thanks so much in advance!
