Compiling Qt Creator

Prerequisites:

Qt 5.11.0 or later

Qt WebEngine module for QtWebEngine based help viewer

On Windows:

ActiveState Active Perl

MinGW with g++ 5.3 or Visual Studio 2017 or later

jom

Python 3.5 or later (optional, needed for the python enabled debug helper)

On Mac OS X: latest Xcode

On Linux: g++ 5.3 or later

LLVM/Clang 8.0.0 or later (optional, needed for the Clang Code Model, Clang Tools, ClangFormat,

Clang PCH Manager and Clang Refactoring plugins, see the section

"Get LLVM/Clang for the Clang Code Model". The LLVM C++ API provides no compatibility garantee,

so if later versions don't compile we don't support that version.)

CMake (for manual builds of LLVM/Clang, and Qt Creator itself)

Ninja (optional, recommended for building with CMake)

Qbs 1.7.x (optional, sources also contain Qbs itself)

The installed toolchains have to match the one Qt was compiled with.

You can build Qt Creator with

# Optional, needed for the Clang Code Model if llvm-config is not in PATH:

export LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=/path/to/llvm (or "set" on Windows)

# Optional, disable Clang Refactoring

export QTC_DISABLE_CLANG_REFACTORING=1

# Optional, needed to let the QbsProjectManager plugin use system Qbs:

export QBS_INSTALL_DIR=/path/to/qbs

# Optional, needed for the Python enabled dumper on Windows

set PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR=C:\path\to\python

# Optional, needed to use system KSyntaxHighlighting:

set KSYNTAXHIGHLIGHTING_LIB_DIR to folder holding the KSyntaxHighlighting library

# if automatic deducing of include folder fails set KSYNTAXHIGHLIGHTING_INCLUDE_DIR as well

# both variables can also be passed as qmake variables

cd $SOURCE_DIRECTORY

qmake -r

make (or mingw32-make or nmake or jom, depending on your platform)

Installation ("make install") is not needed. It is however possible, using

make install INSTALL_ROOT=$INSTALL_DIRECTORY

Compiling Qt and Qt Creator on Windows

This section provides step by step instructions for compiling the latest

versions of Qt and Qt Creator on Windows. Alternatively, to avoid having to

compile Qt yourself, you can use one of the versions of Qt shipped with the Qt

SDK (release builds of Qt using MinGW and Visual C++ 2017 or later).

For detailed information on the supported compilers, see

https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git .

Decide which compiler to use: MinGW or Microsoft Visual Studio. If you

plan to contribute to Qt Creator, you should compile your changes with

both compilers.

Install Git for Windows from https://git-for-windows.github.io/. If you plan to

use the MinGW compiler suite, do not choose to put git in the

default path of Windows command prompts. For more information, see

step 9.

Create a working directory under which to check out Qt and Qt Creator,

for example, c:\work. If you plan to use MinGW and Microsoft Visual

Studio simultaneously or mix different Qt versions, we recommend

creating a directory structure which reflects that. For example:

C:\work\qt5.11.0-vs15, C:\work\qt5.11.0-mingw.

Download and install Perl from https://www.activestate.com/activeperl

and check that perl.exe is added to the path. Run perl -v to verify

that the version displayed is 5.10 or later. Note that git ships

an outdated version 5.8 which cannot be used for Qt.

In the working directory, check out the respective branch of Qt from

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt5.git (we recommend the highest released version).

Check out Qt Creator (master branch or latest version, see

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git).

You should now have the directories qt and creator under your working

directory.

Install a compiler:

For a MinGW toolchain for Qt, see https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW .

For Microsoft Visual C++, install the Windows SDK and the "Debugging

Tools for Windows" from the SDK image. We strongly recommend using the

64-bit version and 64-bit compilers on 64-bit systems.

For the Visual C++ compilers, it is recommended to use the tool 'jom'.

It is a replacement for nmake that utilizes all CPU cores and thus

speeds up compilation significantly. Download it from

https://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom

and add the executable to the path.

For convenience, we recommend creating shell prompts with the correct

environment. This can be done by creating a .bat-file

(such as, \qtvars.bat) that contains the environment

variable settings.

A .bat-file for MinGW looks like:

set PATH=[qtbase]bin;\bin;\creator\bin;%PATH%

set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++

For the Visual C++ compilers, call the .bat file that sets up the

environment for the compiler (provided by the Windows SDK or the

compiler):

CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64

set PATH=[qtbase]bin;\creator\bin;%PATH%

set QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2013

You can create desktop links to the .bat files using the working

directory and specifying

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON /k \qtvars.bat

When using MinGW, open the shell prompt and enter:

sh.exe

That should result in a sh is not recognized as internal or external command... error. If a sh.exe is found, the compile process will fail.

You have to remove it from the path.

To make use of the Clang Code Model:

Install LLVM/Clang - see the section "Get LLVM/Clang for the Clang

Code Model".

Set the environment variable LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the LLVM/Clang

installation directory if llvm-config is not in PATH.

Before you launch Qt Creator you may prepend the PATH with

the location of libclang.dll/.so that you want to be used.

See more info in the section "Prebuilt LLVM/Clang packages".

You are now ready to configure and build Qt and Qt Creator.

Please see https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git for

recommended configure-options for Qt 5.

To use MinGW, open the the shell prompt and enter:

cd

configure && mingw32-make -s

cd ..\creator

qmake && mingw32-make -s

To use the Visual C++ compilers, enter:

cd

configure && jom

cd ..\creator

qmake && jom

To launch Qt Creator, enter:

qtcreator

To test the Clang-based code model, verify that backend process

bin\clangbackend.exe

launches (displaying its usage).

The library libclang.dll needs to be copied to the bin directory if

Clang cannot be found in the path.

When using Visual C++ with the "Debugging Tools for Windows" installed,

the extension library qtcreatorcdbext.dll to be loaded into the

Windows console debugger (cdb.exe) should have been built under

lib\qtcreatorcdbext32 or lib\qtcreatorcdbext64.

When using a 32 bit-build of Qt Creator with the 64 bit version of the

"Debugging Tools for Windows" the library should also be built with

a 64 bit compiler (rebuild src\libs\qtcreatorcdbext using a 64 bit

compiler).

If you are building 32 bit and running on a 64 bit

Windows, you can obtain the 64 bit versions of the extension library

and the binary win64interrupt.exe, which is required for

debugging from the repository

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/binary-artifacts.git/tree .

Qt Creator can be registered as a post-mortem debugger. This

can be done in the options page or by running the tool qtcdebugger

with administrative privileges passing the command line options

-register/unregister, respectively. Alternatively,

the required registry entries

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug

can be modified using the registry editor regedt32 to contain

\qt-creator\bin\qtcdebugger %ld %ld

When using a self-built version of Qt Creator as post-mortem debugger, it needs to be

able to find all dependent Qt-libraries and plugins when being launched by the

system. The easiest way to provide them for Qt 5 is to run the tool windeployqt:

windeployqt -quick -qmldir share\qtcreator\welcomescreen -qmldir src\plugins\qmlprofiler bin\qtcreator.exe lib\qtcreator lib\qtcreator\plugins

Note that unlike on Unix, you cannot overwrite executables that are running.

Thus, if you want to work on Qt Creator using Qt Creator, you need a

separate build of it. We recommend using a separate, release-built version

of Qt and Qt Creator to work on a debug-built version of Qt and Qt Creator

or using shadow builds.

Get LLVM/Clang for the Clang Code Model

The Clang Code Model depends on the LLVM/Clang libraries. The currently

supported LLVM/Clang version is 8.0.

Prebuilt LLVM/Clang packages

Prebuilt packages of LLVM/Clang can be downloaded from

https://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/

This should be your preferred option because you will use the version that is

shipped together with Qt Creator (with backported/additional patches). In

addition, MinGW packages for Windows are faster due to profile-guided

optimization. If the prebuilt packages do not match your configuration, you

need to build LLVM/Clang manually.

If you use the MSVC compiler to build Qt Creator the suggested way is:

1. Download both MSVC and MinGW packages of libclang.

2. Use the MSVC version of libclang during the Qt Creator build.

3. Prepend PATH variable used for the run time with the location of MinGW version of libclang.dll.

4. Launch Qt Creator.

Building LLVM/Clang manually

You need to install CMake in order to build LLVM/Clang.

Build LLVM/Clang by roughly following the instructions at

http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#git-mirror:

Clone LLVM/Clang and checkout a suitable branch

git clone -b release_80-based --recursive https://code.qt.io/clang/llvm-project.git

Build and install LLVM/Clang

mkdir build

cd build

For Linux/macOS:

cmake \

-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \

-D LLVM_ENABLE_RTTI=ON \

-D LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;clang-tools-extra" \

-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= \

../llvm-project/llvm

cmake --build . --target install

For Windows:

cmake ^

-G "NMake Makefiles JOM" ^

-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^

-D LLVM_ENABLE_RTTI=ON ^

-D LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;clang-tools-extra" ^

-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= ^

..\llvm-project\llvm

cmake --build . --target install

Clang-Format

The ClangFormat plugin depends on the additional patch

https://code.qt.io/cgit/clang/clang.git/commit/?h=release_80-based&id=fa1b9053729ec6a4425a44ec5502dd388928274a

While the plugin builds without it, it will be disabled on start with an error message.

Note that the plugin is disabled by default.

Building Qt Creator with CMake

Qt Creator can also be built with CMake. The main Qt Creator dependencies, Qt and LLVM/Clang, both

offer CMake find packages, which reduce the steps of configuring Qt Creator to a minimum.

Configure and build Qt Creator:

mkdir build

cd build

For Linux/macOS:

cmake \

-G Ninja \

-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \

-D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt/5.12.5/gcc_64;~/llvm \

../qt-creator

cmake --build .

For Windows:

cmake ^

-G Ninja ^

-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^

-D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\Qt\5.12.5\msvc2017_64;c:\llvm ^

..\qt-creator

cmake --build .
