Best IDE for QT with Mac
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
Can anyone advise me on the best IDE to use with the Mac? I have
downloaded the latest XCode and followed various tutorials but still
cant quite get to a point where I can run the simplest demo. The
nearest I got was a complete build, but running the app failed due to
not being supported on this platform... wierd..
Or does maybe have a simple xcode project I could have a look at?
Thanks
Peter

Sigh..
Why is it always that 5 mins after I send a message I finally work it
out
I had to create a 'compile sources' step on the target :P

That seems a bit odd to me. Assuming that your .pro file is set up
correctly, using QMake should generate a fully-functional xcode file
with which you can simply hit "build and run" without any further
modifications (other than code, of course ;) ). At least it does for
me. If you compiled Qt from source you might have to add a "-spec macx-
xcode" argument to the qmake command though.

I personally use Eclipse CDT on OS X for Qt Development. I have qmake
generate plain old make files that I then have eclipse use for the
compilation. Code completion works much better in Eclipse CDT than with
Xcode.
just my 2 cents.

Depends entirely on the tools you're used to and how familiair you are with
the command line. There are several environments available for Mac, like
Xcode and Eclipse but also "rich" editors like SlickEdit. I've tried all
three and still stick to SlickEdit as I have the binaries for Linux as well
as for Mac. I manually create my .pro files allowing me to customize the
end-result and the source tree entirely to my liking and using the combo
qmake && make for compiling.
Just my 2 ct.
