Cascades Development

[tonygluk]

Hi everybody!

I've switched to QT Creator for faster compilation & deployment.

Everything works fine including debugging but it doesn't display logs (qDebug etc).

I know that logs should be redirected to stdout/stderr if they are to be displayed in QNX Momentics console.

This is done using qInstallMsgHandler and it works. But it doesn't work in QT Creator.

So the question is:

How does QNX Momentics intercept the logs after they are redirected to stderr/stdout?

I was able to view the logs via SSH using the following method. It works for slogger2, but I don't know how to access stdout/stderr output:

1) Start blackberry-connect

/Applications/bbndk/host_10_0_9_52/darwin/x86/usr/bin/blackberry-connect 192.168.157.128 -password devicePass -sshPublicKey     "/Users/User/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qnx/BlackBerry Simulator/id_rsa.pub"

2) ssh devuser@192.168.157.128 -i "/Users/User/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qnx/BlackBerry Simulator/id_rsa"

3) slog2info -w | grep qt-msg

Any suggestions are welcome!

I would rather use QtCreator as well. The Eclipse IDE was never something I liked. 

Which version of Qt Creator did you use? Any special setup steps? 

Btw. I have seen that it was recommended to use simple sprintf... instead of qDebug() to log your stuff since it wasn't working. So I think what you've seen is just a macro that will use standard console output functions.

Does QtCreator support Cascades development?

Can it support Qt5?

I really want to move from eclipse to some tools most developers can trust...

I doubt thay you can use Qt5 with it, but I would be happy with Qt4 just as long as I could use QtCreator properly.

It does support Cascades.

I've followed this guide:

http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-Creator-with-BlackBerry-10

Autocompletion did not work initially. I don't know why, maybe paths were too long?

As a workaround I've created a symlink in my project folder:

include -> /Applications/bbndk/target_10_0_9_386/qnx6/usr/include

Then added the following lines to .pro file:

INCLUDEPATH += include include/qt4/QtCore
LIBS += -lbbcascades

By the way, logs started working after reboot.

Everything is working now.

p.s. I'm using Mac OS X Lion.
