I really like code::blocks.. and it made sense for me to use it with heekcad since both where based on wxwidget technology, but I wonder if it would be less pain for me to use qt-creator. I’m running 64 bit 10.04 ubuntu and I had some pain getting the dependencies installed (sorry.. I normally block the pain, but just blasted my way through on that one…
Anyway… A while bad I was making a code::blocks projects from Cmakelists.txt. Sure enough the can be done with qt-creator….
To get the source downloaded and and compiled initially this is what I did:
923 ls
924 mkdir freecad
925 cd freecad
926 git clone git://free-cad.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/free-cad/free-cad
927 ls
928 cd free-cad
929 cmake .
930 make
931 history
I got qt-creator from the synaptic. I loaded qtcreator. I was reading here that you could use cmake to generate a code::blocks project file and from there you could load the code blocks project file into qt-creator.
Searching qt-creator help I ran across this:
Ok, the way I was reading this was that, if I simply open a file and the wizard takes over.. If I just open the file, the file just opens…
Hmmm. Let me try opening the open to open a file or project option…. That does it… Now I got the wizard:
Ok… I guess I do need to make code::blocks project file…

So I wanted to keep the cbp out of the code trunk but I didn’t manage it:
I think I”m almost there:
I looks like I just need to click finish.
It seems to have worked.
This is strange though, I thought this process would have create a .pro file, but apparently not. When I choose open recent project it points to the CMakeLists.txt file. Go figure.
