Qt Creator "Run configuration" issue with LibreCAD.

Hello,

- Using LibreCAD master with Qt Creator, I noticed that
  there is 2 "Run configuration" in
  "Projects"->"Run Settings"->"Run configuration:"
  These "Run configuration" are:
        src
        ttf2lff

- I think that "ttf2lff" has nothing to do here, and must
  be removed.

- For an unknown reason, the "ttf2lff" "Run configuration is
  frequently selected, and this prevent LibreCAD to be run from
  Qt Creator.

- Any comment on that?

The ttf2lff is an utility for convert ttf to lff fonts, and is only build in linux because it require freetype.

About "Run configuration:" issue:

the ttf2lff.pro is not included in subdir target for windows, but for some reason is parsed and added in QtCreator ignoring the "not win32" condition.

I have done some testing (removing librecad.pro.user):
  - I added "ttf2lff" before "src" -> ttf2lff is selected
  - I added "ttf2lff" after "src" -> ttf2lff is selected
  -I removed CONFIG += ordered and made the two previous test -> ttf2lff is selected
  -I I have set all the content of ttf2lff.pro in "not win32" condition -> ttf2lff is selected & fail to build
  -I made other test I do not remember -> ttf2lff is selected

My conclusion:
  In qtcreator if the target is subdir all pro files are parsed then sorted alphabetically and set in "Run configuration:" the last (in alphabetical order) project file with target=app.

My sulution (really a hack):
I renamed (and push) "ttf2lff" dir & pro file as "attf2lff" and as default "src" configuration is selected.

Cheers,
Rallaz

Thank you for the information.

- Humm...   Really interesting.

- I think this is the kind of situation that explain why so
   much people do prefer manage projects manually.
   Managing project through an IDE can really be a nightmare
   in some situation.

- Will take a look, if it is possible to built LibreCAD from
   Cygwin command line...

- I forgot I already tried to built LibreCAD on Cygwin, and this
  was not possible because "qmake" is not present on Cygwin.

- I just downloaded LibreCAD master from GIT, and your hack does not
  work for me on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit computer.
  "ttf2lff" remain the default run configuration :-(

First delete "librecad.pro.user" then open qtcreator, this file is
created by qtcreator each time you open "librecad.pro".

Cygwin is a bad idea because QT for windows is build with MinGW and, I
seem, the ABI is not compatible.

For command line build in windows you can use:
 with cmd.exe:
     write a batch file like:
            SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw\bin;C:\Qt\mingw\bin
            cmd.exe

 with MSYS bash:
      Install msys from nimgw.org
      modify the configuration to add in the path the location of qmake.exe.

In bot cases is bad to add the qmake dir-path in system var "PATH" to
avoid cygwin collision.
