Yes, QDE is QNX Momentics IDE. I think it's easier to move them other way around:
Create a new project in Momentics, then move source files one by one from the old project into new one (except GUI-related classes). And then recreate the GUI.
About QT Creator / Cascades:
For setting up QT Creator follow the steps on the wiki:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Setting-up-Qt-Creator-for-BlackBerry-and-QNX
I think you've already done that.
Then create a Qt Quick project (wiki describes this step).
After this remove all Qt Quick related functionality from project and add Cascades libraries to .pro file. This is how my project file looks like:
TEMPLATE = app
# Please do not modify the following line.
#include(qmlapplicationviewer/qmlapplicationviewer.pri)
# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Creator's code model
QML_IMPORT_PATH =
QT += declarative script xmlpatterns xml sql network svg
INCLUDEPATH += src
# Workaround for autocompletion bug
INCLUDEPATH += include include/cpp include/qt4/QtCore include/qt4/QtSql include/qt4/QtNetwork
LIBS += -lbbcascades -lbbcascadesmultimedia -lbbdevice -lbbplatform -lbbpim -lbbdata -lbbcascadespickers -lbbsystem -lbbmultimedia
# The .cpp file which was generated for your project. Feel free to hack it.
SOURCES += main.cpp \
...other cpp files...
OTHER_FILES += bar-descriptor.xml \
qml/main.qml
HEADERS += \
...header files...
Then update bar-descriptor.xml file. You can use Momentics-generated file as a template. Here's my bar-descriptor.xml (replace application name and paths):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='no'?>
<qnx xmlns="http://www.qnx.com/schemas/application/1.0">
<id>com.mydomain</id>
<name>Application Name</name>
<versionNumber>1.0.0</versionNumber>
<description>Application Description</description>
<initialWindow>
<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
<transparent>false</transparent>
<autoOrients>true</autoOrients>
<aspectRatio>portrait</aspectRatio>
</initialWindow>
<env value="app/native/imports" var="QML_IMPORT_PATH"/>
<env value="app/native/plugins:/usr/lib/qt4/plugins" var="QT_PLUGIN_PATH"/>
<env value="app/native/lib:/usr/lib/qt4/lib/" var="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"/>
<action system="true">run_native</action>
<asset path="MyApplication" type="Qnx/Elf" entry="true">MyApplication</asset>
<asset path="%SRC_DIR%/qml">qml</asset>
<asset path="%SRC_DIR%/assets">assets</asset>
<icon>
<image>assets/images/icons/applicationIcon114.png</image>
</icon>
<splashScreens>
<image>assets/images/splash/portrait768x1280.jpg</image>
<image>assets/images/splash/portrait720x1280.jpg</image>
</splashScreens>
</qnx>
After this try to build and deploy a simple Cascades project. If everything is ok, start moving files from your old project (file by file).
Important:
Autocompletion won't work initially. All Cascades and Qt classes will be underlined in red.
Wiki describes a few workarounds. The one I'm using is creating a symlink in your project folder to point to ndk include folder:
lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 user staff 55 Dec 15 19:23 include -> /Applications/bbndk/target_10_0_9_1673/qnx6/usr/include
Then add the following line to .pro file:
INCLUDEPATH += include include/cpp include/qt4/QtCore include/qt4/QtSql include/qt4/QtNetwork
Autocompletion should work after that. I'm using Qt Creator on MacOS, this may not apply to Windows version.
