QT creator

[mxq...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Is anyone using QT Creator together with Bazel?
In general for C++ projects, what IDE are you currently using with Bazel?

Thanks

Hello,

We are using Eclipse and InttelliJ for Java. I personally use emacs for non-java stuff.

I don't know of anyone using Bazel for QT.

I usually use Emacs for C++, but I know people that use Eclipse.

I've got a QT binary building.

I don't know what the original QT build file looked like, but I've got bazel rules to build it.

You will need a new_local_repository to let you add a cc_library rule to include /usr/include/qt4 and /usr/include/qt4/QtCore, ... .  This will also let you specify the linkopts to link in the libraries.

From there, you'll need a genrule to generate the UI header files.  (Call /usr/bin/uic-qt4 and create a cc_library from it)

You'll also need a qt4_cc_library rule which runs moc-qt4 over all the header files and adds the resulting cc files to the cc_library.

bbreslauer has posted a QT5 bazel rule to github. It is available at:

I am actually interested in just using QtCreator as an IDE, and not too tied to using the Qt library.

I've been using CLion (IntelliJ-based?) with the Bazel plugin, and it's got decent features, but still seems blocking on the GUI thread quite or generally slow down frequently, which is quite burdensome. I don't remember having too many of these issues with QtCreator + CMake.

Has anyone tried out using QtCreator purely as an IDE with Bazel as the build system?

I also would like to use QtCreator (just like IDE, *not* to build GUI application) to build tensorflow applications.

If anyone has workarounds, please share.

Hmm so I use intellijIdea, and I don't see any of the slowdowns you mention, I actually find it quite great. Can you elaborate? Maybe it's a bug, I'd try reporting it (https://github.com/bazelbuild/intellij).

Just in case. If anyone wanted to use QtCreator and Bazel to work with tensorflow, here is my workaround - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44673800/bazel-qtcreator

I'm currently using QtCreator with a bazel project (based on repo+git), but it involves some manual fidgeting.

Mainly, I imported the project with "Import existing project". I did not touch the file filters. Then I have a script that uses repo and git utilities to update the .files file, which I run regularly. I also regularly re-add the bazel-genfiles. I've also added BUILD, *.bzl and WORKSPACE files to the qt internal python MIME type so I get python syntax highlighting. As for the build/run targets, I add them manually each time I need one.

Quite some work, but absolutely none of the Java based IDEs has ever worked for me on the big C++ projects I've been working on, with slow-downs, crashes, out-of-memory problems and all that.
