Qt Creator and perforce

[Mark Gallegly]

I am trying to get Qt Creator to work with perforce. I have all of my
perforce settings set correctly but still Qt Creator will only show the
perforce menus under the Tools menu if I do not have any projects open. And
when I try to choose any perforce menu command it outputs the following
message: “No p4 executable specified!”. I know I have Qt Creator configured
to correctly point to the "p4" command. I have tried this under both OS X
and Windows XP and the same thing happens. I have seen this previous post:
http://lists.trolltech.com/pipermail/qt-creator/2009-April/002681.html, but
there was no successful conclusion to it.

Does anyone know how to get Qt Creator to work with perforce, or is this
just not possible?

Thanks.

Hi,

Qt Creator tries to launch the p4 executable with the arguments
"client -o" and checks for the presence of "View:" in the output
(that is, files are mapped).

Could you try that? - (another question is of course, can p4 be launched
from your location, is it missing DLLs or sth).
We will try to add error output at some point.

I'm not sure if this was intended back to me, but I tried it and saw
various parameters and "View:". Interestingly, though, the "View:" line
has a carriage return whereas most of the other lines do not.

View:
//{myrepo}/... //{my client}/...

Yup - I looked at the p4 detection code yesterday and spotted a bug that
triggers if you actually specify differing parameters in the settings code.
I will try to fix it for 1.2, you should be able to work or at least see an
error message.
