deb packages and such (debuild and friends) do can execute the command-line tools as part of the build, but are not so good at launching Qt Creator and pressing ctrl+rĮventually only convenient (GUI) IDEs can make that halfway tolerable. Nonetheless, if one is going to install all the dev packages, why not eventually the entire creator including and covering all and everything?īut if you plan to share what you made with others at some point, it is a good habit to learn how to use the command line tools as well.īecause the utilities to build. "just copy the project onto the Pi and use `qmake` and `make` to build it"Īnd you forgot to mention "after having installed all the related dev libs before, too". OTOH, you are probably missing that many users around here are just hobbyists (like me and others), no computer scientists or professional programmers - not to claim that they wouldn't know those differences between an IDE and a compiler or a linker, but as to your statement about "no need for the qt creator, just make" it sounded to me personally (as a hobbyist) ambiguous or misleading, as you just wrote Nonetheless, if one is going to install all the dev packages, why not eventually the entire creator including and covering all and everything?Īnd when having the creator, one would not even need to work manually with any make or cmake or qmake (which of course runs under the hood) at all, just open the project file and then press ctrl+r to compile, link, build, and also run it, all at once, automatically, just like how it's supposed to work by the OP's qt Windows GUI (and even if the creator GUI was only intended for the case that one wanted to further develop the Windows code version then locally on the Pi, too). Well, as stated, I already understood from incognitum's post that one needs the dev libs but not the GUI IDE. Or in this case between a framework and an IDE. Or even between a language, a compiler and and IDE. I'm always fascinated by how many people there are who can't seem to distinguish between a compiler and an IDE. You need all the qt libraries you want to use.
