Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 
OS:          Linux

Hi!

As I compiled a qt-Application created with the app-wizard, the compiler-messages were repeated in an endless loop.
I had to kill gideon. Manually compiled (in the console) the compiler messages were shown once.

Can you retest this with current Gideon from CVS

Comment 2 Jens Dagerbo 2003-04-18 15:55:23 UTC

This still happens with Alpha-4, but only if QTDIR isn't set correctly.

Comment 3 Amilcar do Carmo Lucas 2003-07-01 20:29:37 UTC

This seams Trollproject related and not outputview

Comment 4 Jens Dagerbo 2003-10-29 23:12:33 UTC

Still in CVS. Again, assuming QTDIR isn't set.

Comment 5 Jens Dagerbo 2003-10-29 23:33:04 UTC

Checking the make option "Abort on first error" could be seen as a workaround as this keeps it from happening.

But interestingly, issuing "make -k" to the generated project from the commandline (with QTDIR not set) - independent from kdevelop - also creates this loop!

So I guess the question is if this is a problem created with the qmake template or a bug in qmake?

Comment 6 Jens Dagerbo 2003-10-30 00:14:06 UTC

I just tried it with a .pro file not touched by KDevelop (namely the cdcat.pro from the http://cdcat.sf.net/ project)

unset QTDIR, run qmake cdcat.pro and then make -k

-> LOOP!

This isn't our fault. I don't think it is worth trying to work around either.

Comment 7 Amilcar do Carmo Lucas 2003-10-30 10:40:35 UTC

This looks like a QMAKE (Trolltech) bug. Closing as wontfix

Comment 8 Andreas Koepfle 2003-10-31 12:04:02 UTC

We should at least output a warning to the user, if QTDIR is not set. 
As some distributions unset QTDIR in startkde, everything works fine when running kdevelop from konsole but breaks down when starting kdevelop from the startmenu.
This behaviour is really irritating to the user.
