Blenders Custom Project File Generator for QtCreator fails
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Fedora 18 / Fedora 17

--- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---
think it never worked

--- Short description of error ---
This is just a very short one and might not affect a lot of people but I have a patch (one-liner) and might as well report this...

On Fedora 18 / Fedora 17 (maybe others, too?) when setting up QTCreator as described here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/IDE_Configuration/Linux_CMake_QtCreator

the following fails:
===== from above link ===============
cd ~/blender-svn/build
python3 ../blender/build_files/cmake/cmake_qtcreator_project.py
==================================

On Fedora when using cmake and unix makefiles you actually get the following: (so it is using "gmake" instead of "make" [even though "gmake" is just a link to "make" really...])
==== from CMakeLists.txt =============
//Path to a program.
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/gmake
==================================

"gmake" is not picked up by /blender/build_files/cmake/project_info.py correctly. And raises Exception("Unknown make program").
Have a patch (one-liner) which I will submit next.



Event Timeline

patch is [#33969]

Not sure bug tracker is indeed best place for issues related on development tools, however will ask Campbell to check on this :)

It would be sufficient next time to just post the patch to the patch tracker. Adding a bug report and then a patch is a bit redundant, don't you think? ;)

Hi Thomas, Campbell once told me to post to the patch tracker as well (because of auto-credits-generator).
But you are propably right, these one-liners can live in the patch-tracker alone, I guess... [even though it is a bug as well :)]

Sorry for the noise...
