    • Qt Creator 4.11.0

    • Ubuntu 20.04
      Qt 4.11.1
    • Linux/X11

      I use QtCreator to develop a CMake based project.

      My file structure is as following:

       

      MyProject
    Subproject1
      CMakeLists.txt
          include
              file1.h
          src
              file1.cpp

    Subproject2
      CMakeLists.txt
          include
              file2.h
          src
              file2.cpp

       

      The main CMakeLists.txt:

       

      project(MyProject)
add_subdirectory(Subproject1)
add_subdirectory(Subproject2)

       

      The subproject's project file is something like this:

       

      project(Subproject1)
file(GLOB SRC . src/*.cpp)
file(GLOB INC . include/*.h)
add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED ${SRC} ${INC})

       

       

      In QtCreator the same structure looks a bit different:

       

      MyProject
    Subproject1
      CMakeLists.txt
         Header Files <-------------
              include
                  file1.h
          Source Files <----------------
              src
                  file1.cpp

...

      There are 2 unnecessary pseudo folders(Header Files, Source Files) that  very confusing.  I found no option to remove it. Setting Simplify tree options in the filters menu just mixes up all the structure, for example it pit all the CMakeLists.txt together, from all the project that makes the structure totally unreadable.

       

        No reviews matched the request. Check your Options in the drop-down menu of this sections header.
