What's the problem with using the binary version from qt.io? Hi! There is no problem with using binaries qt.io, and I ended using it anyway. EXCEPT: * qt.io binaries is not default source of applications for KDE Neon (while apt is) * it requires qt.io login * it bypasses the package manager Also what is the point of having qt creator in repos if it doesn’t works as expected? I completely agree with the previous comment. ClangCodeModel plugin is too good not to be available for Qt Creator. Well, something disturbing happened recently: I wasn't able to update Qt Creator on Mac, since "My license for this platform expired" (not exact words, but something like that). And to "Extend" that license, I had to log in with corporate email (which I did not). I imagine something like that may happen soon with Linux version too. That means one day you might be unable to install Qt Creator from qt.io on Linux, and the (broken) package in distribution is going to be the only free (in many senses) source. Please, update Qt Creator to the latest version (current version is 4.12.2) with support for the ClangCodeModel plugin. I found that the ClangCodeModel plugin is now available for the supplied Qt Creator package, but it doesn't work for me. Am I missing something? Apps from the package manager are no longer formally supported in Neon; the supported method of getting apps is to use Flatpak or Snap. Also, bugs in applications should be reported to the developers of the app. Qt Creator is developed by the Qt folks, not KDE. |
