如何在不使用qmake的情况下使用QT创建者“在光标下跟随符号”功能

Question

I have an existing C++ project that uses a standard makefile which I have imported into QT creator 4.1.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. It compiles and runs fine from the build menu in creator, but in the editor some of the #include s are underlined in yellow (with error "No such file or directory"), and the symbols from those headers consequently fail to resolve when I use the "follow symbol under cursor" feature.

Includes such as the following appear to work fine:

#include <vector>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "myInclude.h"

Whereas includes from custom libraries do not:

#include <some_namespace/something.h>

If I change the above non-functional include to:

#include "../../../some_library_proj/include/some_namespace/something.h"

then it works.

There is a file myproject.includes that includes the path ../some_library_proj/include/some_namespace , but that doesn't appear to have any effect on the problem at hand.

I have searched for similar discussions online, and they usually mention editing a .pro file, however I believe this should not apply in my case since I'm not using qmake.

What files or environment variables do I need to change to get my imports working?

Answer 1

Include the lower-level folders in the myproject.includes file as well. In this case:

../some_library_proj/include/
