Instruction on how to build Qt Design Studio.
Qt Design Studio is based on Qt Creator
The Qt Design studio consists of:
- Qt Creator
- The branches are prefixed with qds. e.g. qds/dev or qds/4.6
- Studio components which are necessary for the used kit
We build with CMake + Ninja by default.
Windows notes:
- We use MSVC2019 on Windows, but MSVC2022 should also work. MinGW is not activly supported.
- you need "Desktop development with C++" + "Windows * SDK" (which is not default)
- Also, do not use a build path that is too long. For example, if you have a long user path or if one drive is involved, it can result in crazy build errors
- a good path is, for example, c:\dev. It is also good that it is not synced to one drive, which makes the machine slow during a compile.
Since Qt Design Studio 4.6.0 we use Qt 6.7.3 to build it. Make sure to enable BUILD_DESIGNSTUDIO in the CMake options.
In case you use your own Qt there is the need to get Studio Components that are used in any wizard-created project
The Studio Components are necessary to create a new project with the wizard, and also it contains components for the Simulator, EventList, and FlowView:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/project:qt-labs%252Fqtquickdesigner-components
Therefore, you should install the qtquickdesigner-components in the qt you use:
git clone "ssh://username@codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt-labs/qtquickdesigner-components" mkdir qtquickdesigner-components_build && cd qtquickdesigner-components_build cmake -G"Ninja" -S ../qtquickdesigner-components -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/tijensse/Qt/6.2.3/macos/ -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:STRING=/opt/homebrew/bin/ninja
The important thing is to use ninja. Then, it will find the used Qt and know where to install it
For building qtquickdesigner on Ubuntu, I've used the following workflow. Before that, you need to check out the repository mentioned above. For this to work, it must be placed in its default folder (defined by the repository) called qtquickdesigner-components. From its parent folder, do the following:
mkdir qtquickdesigner-components-build cd qtquickdesigner-components-build/ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt/6.2.4/gcc_64 ../qtquickdesigner-components cmake --build . cmake --install .
- set/manage the correct kit
- remove Kit from HideOptionCategories in the installsettings
installsettings location in source: qt-creator\dist\branding\qtdesignstudio\QtProject\QtDesignStudio.ini (will be copied by building to, for example: C:\dev\build\qtcreator\share\qtcreator\QtProject\QtDesignStudio.ini ) installsettings in a windows installation:
