Using Qt Creator on windows

[holycause]

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering how to setup an HDK project with Qt Creator on Windows.

 

I'm having issues to compile it.

 

This is my project file content:

TEMPLATE = lib

CONFIG -= qt


LIBS += -/libpath:"E:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/lib/amd64" \
    -/libpath:"C:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v6.0A/Lib/x64" \
    -"E:/PROGRA~2/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.469/custom/houdini/dsolib/*.a" \
    -"E:/PROGRA~2/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.469/custom/houdini/dsolib/*.lib"

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -TP \
    -Zc:forScope \
    -nologo \
    -DVERSION="13.0.198.21" \
    -DI386 \
    -DWIN32 \
    -DSWAP_BITFIELDS \
    -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 \
    -DWINVER=0x0501 \
    -DNOMINMAX \
    -D_USE_MATH_DEFINES \
    -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE \
    -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE \
    -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS \
    -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB \
    -I . \
    -I "E:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/VC/include" \
    -I "C:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v6.0A/Include" \
    -I "E:/PROGRA~2/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.21/toolkit/include" \
    -MD \
    -EHsc \
    -GR \
    -bigobj \
    -wd4355 \
    -w14996 \
    -DSESI_LITTLE_ENDIAN \
    -DAMD64 \
    -DSIZEOF_VOID_P=8 \
    -DFBX_ENABLED=1 \
    -DOPENCL_ENABLED=1 \
    -DOPENVDB_ENABLED=1 \
    -DMAKING_DSO

SOURCES += \
    SOP_CPPWave.C

HEADERS += \
    SOP_CPPWave.h

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = " "

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG = " "

but I get this error:

#error "You must compile with the /TP switch (C++ Compilation)"

 Thanks in advance for your help

Hey holycause,

 

sry this is not a direct answer to your problem, just some quick suggestions that pop to my mind since i'm gonna do a makefile based Houdini Plugin build for the win plattform soon, too.

 

-CMake: I constrained myself to use CMake as a build generator. CMakeLists can handle setups with Qt pretty flawlessly. Easy automated automocing and .ui->.dll compilation, which is basically all you need QT specific, and then you can use any IDE you want. (And you never spend time again directly setting up a build, makefile, IDE compile settings etc.)

 

-H13 uses Visual Studio 2012 (msvc11) as far as i know........just because i saw msvc9 libs in your file (which is probably correct for H12)......but you are probably aware of that.

 

PS: A general CMakeList file for a H13 example plugin build would be great. I'll post mine if i have it.......although i'm FAR from being any expert in cmake.

Hey Timm,

 

Thanks for your answer, I actually didn't know about msvc11 for H13.   I only use Windows at home

I really love to use QtCreator to write my code.

For H13 on Windows, there are both vc9 and vc11 builds available. Make sure you downloaded and installed the correct one matching the compiler that you want to use with the HDK. They are marked accordingly in the name of the installer .exe file.

 

The QtCreator problem (I'm guessing) is that it probably thinks the .C file is a C, not C++ file. So I'm guessing that your modified QMAKE_CXXFLAGS isn't even being used. Try renaming the source file to use a .cpp file extension instead of .C

I will try it. thanks
