QtCreator - no rule to make target when building windeployqt - qt

I have installed C:\Qt\5.6\ on Windows 10. I have started QtCreator from there, and opened C:\Qt\5.6\Src\qttools\qttools.pro in it. I expanded the node, and right-clicked on designer and did Build "designer", it built fine (using mingw)
Now, I try to do the same for windeployqt, but it fails with:
:-1: error: No rule to make target 'C:/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/lib/libQt5Bootstrapd.a', needed by '..\..\bin\windeployqt.exe'. Stop.
What am I missing, and how can I get windeployqt to compile?

Ok, I think I got it. First, I tried looking for *bootstrap* named files in C:\Qt, and it turns out, this file exists:
C:\Qt\5.6\mingw49_32\lib\libQt5Bootstrap.a
So, the only difference from the filename in the error message, libQt5Bootstrapd.a, is that there isn't a d at the end of the filename (without the extension) - and then I remembered, that d probably represents a Debug version of the .a library.
As you can see on the screenshot, there is a button down left in the Qt Creator GUI, where it says "qttools ... (monitor icon) ... Debug". This is "Deploy Configuration" - I clicked there, and set the Deploy Configuration to "Release" - and then tried building windeployqt again - and this time, it worked without an error message.

Android SDK MonkeyRunner 25.3.2 Won't Run

So I upgraded Android SDK tools today and now I'm having a problem getting monkeyrunner to run. I did the standard which is (from the command prompt)
D:\Android\SDK\tools\bin\monkeyrunner.bat D:\ScriptName.py
Note 1: The directory of monkeyrunner.bat changed in this release, so I had to update my command line accordingly.
That fails with the message:
SWT Folder '..\framework\x86_64' does not exist.
I can fix that by editing monkeyrunner.bat and instead of having frameworkdir be set to 'lib' it gets set to '..\lib', the actual location of the monkey runner jar file.
However, when I implement this fix it then gives the error:
Cannot run program "..\framework\adb.exe" cannot find the file specified.
I'm kind of stuck here because no matter what I change in monkeyrunner.bat I get the same message, which indicates to me that the jar file has this directory hardcoded in it or something. It should probably be "....\platform-tools\adb.exe"
Any help would be appreciated.
-open monkeyrunner.bat in notepad
change set frameworkdir=. to set frameworkdir=..\lib everywhere
find the line call "%java_exe%" -Xmx512m "-Djava.ext.dirs=%frameworkdir%;%swt_path%" -Dcom.android.monkeyrunner.bindir= -jar %jarpath% %*
change the value of Dcom.android.monkeyrunner.bindir to the path of the folder containing adb.exe. Mine was under platform-tools

Setup of Qt Creator to debug into Qt classes

I want to setup Qt Creator (3.0) in a way, that I can debug into the Qt classes. So I download the corresponding src code (http://gitorious.org/qt/qt5) and install it in a directory (e.g. c:\Qt5\src).
Then I have my own project. Where do I need to set the source code path of Qt (c:\Qt5\src), so I can debug my code, but also into a Qt class where necessary.
-- Edit:Pavel's comment --
Pavel has given a good hint: But I am using a precompiled version of Qt/Qt Creator. So I am basically looking for a solution which does not require me to compile from source. Nevertheless a useful hint. Thanks.
If you are using a prebuilded version just remap the source code location as described in http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-engines.html
Mapping Source Paths
To enable the debugger to step into the code and display the source
code when using a copy of the source tree at a location different from
the one at which the libraries where built, map the source paths to
target paths:
Select Tools > Options > Debugger > General > Add.
In the Source path field, specify the source path in the debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger.
In the Target path field, specify the actual location of the source tree on the local machine.
To get "the source path in the debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger", you can activate the "Use Tooltips in Stack-View when Debugging" option by right-clicking in the Stack View and move the mouse over a specific function call.
If you look into the tooltips, you will see references to /Users/qt/work, the Mac deployed debug symbols are pointing there. Of course, this is not documented, as these folks want you to buy enterprise.
If you create the /Users/qt/work directory (as root), then make a soft link to your source directory named qt, everything will work. No need to build anything from source (under Mac that would result in tens of gigs wasted). Same considerations about plugins
Example:
sudo -s
mkdir /Users/qt
cd /Users/qt
mkdir work
cd work
ln -s /Users/your_user_name/Qt/your_qt_release/Src qt
Everything will work. Any source mapping failed here, so leave those alone.
Hope this helps
With Xcode, before you step into the Qt library the first time, enter the following command in the LLDB window:
settings set target.source-map /Users/qt/work/qt /path/to/Qt/5.10.1/Src
(Obviously you'll want to change the version number, as relevant).
But suppose Trolltech changes its build directory, what to do then? (Or, how did the community wiki that gave the /Users/qt/work/qt path find it?) You can guess what the path needs to be by editing /path/to/Qt/5.10.1/clang_64/lib/QtCore.framework.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/QtCore_debug (or any other Qt library) and searching for some paths. "/Users" seems like a good guess. About 2% into the library you'll start seeing sections with a lot of paths like:
../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/kernel^#../../include/QtCore
/../../src/corelib/tools^#global^#/Users/qt/work/qt/qtbase/src/corelib
/../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch^#/Applications/Xcode.app
/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/<etc>
Look for an absolute path that looks like it could be writable. (/Applications/... would not be a likely build path, for example)
In recent Qt creator (v 4.11) press button "Add Qt Sources"
in Tools > Options > Debugger > General
and select Qt sources file.
Qt5 should be installed by online installer with checked "Qt Debug Information files".
Follow the instructions from Qt here:
"In the run configuration, select Use debug version of frameworks."

netbeans, Qt, & Qmake "command not found"

All,
I am (trying to) using Netbeans to build a simple Qt app (from a tutorial) and I cannot build it because I get this error:
/C/Qt/2010.02.1/qt/qmake/qmake.exe VPATH=. -spec win32-g++ -o qttmp-Debug.mk nbproject/qt-Debug.pro
make[1]:/C/Qt/2010.02.1/qt/qmake/qmake.exe: Command not found
when the file is exactly there, and I can open a terminal and execute it.
Note in the error message: "/C/Qt..." The actual path is C:/Qt...
I have used the tools/options/c++ dialog to browse to the file and select it, and it is specified as C:\Qt... just like all the other tools. What is corrupting the C: and making it /C/ ?
Now, if I remove the path to qmake, and have it use the PATH environment variable, it finds it, but then it fails due to 'multiple targets'...
Obviously, pilot error, but where? I have seen several posts on this, and they all say to make sure it is in the path, and it is, so now what? (I can open a terminal and type 'qmake' and I get the 'Usage: qmake..." so I know it is visible.
Windows 7, Netbeans 7.0, MinGW (I also have cygwin installed...).
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
:bp:
Addenda: I changed the path to my 'make' to use the MinGW one rather than the cygqin one, and now it can find qmake, but I get other errors: 'Could not find mkspecs for your QMAKESPEC(win32-g++) after trying:...
Any additional thoughts?
QMake requires more than just a path to work correctly. On my Windows box, there is a menu option for 'Qt Command Prompt' under the 'Qt SDK 2010.05' group in the Start Menu. Running it produces the following:
Setting up a MinGW/Qt only environment...
-- QTDIR set to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt
-- PATH set to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\bin
-- Adding C:\Qt\2010.05\bin to PATH
-- Adding C:\WINDOWS\System32 to PATH
-- QMAKESPEC set to win32-g++
You will want to make sure the environment you launch qmake in has all of those set.
The most probable reason you are see '/C/...' is because you are causing a mingw shell to run when you execute your build.

Build doc sets in Xcode 4 using Doxygen

HOw do I build docsets in Xcode 4 with Doxygen?
Apple's documentation refers to Xcode 3 and doesn't seem to apply to Xcode 4.
I think it might have to use a schemas (schemata?) rather than targets, but I'm not 100% certain.
Thanks in advance...
You can build documentation as part of a dedicated target:
In the project navigator, click on the project.
In the right pane, add a new aggregate target (in MacOSX/Other) and name it Documentation
In this target, add a new Run Script build phase
In this build phase, invoke the Doxygen command line:
/Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen
Once the DocSet is built, copy it into /Users/<YourName>/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets folder.
The new docset should appear into the help browser.
It seems documentation for Xcode 3 works fine with Xcode 4.
I followed instructions (see Using Doxygen to Create Xcode Documentation Sets on Documentation) and everything is fine excerpt Xcode does not load the brand new docset.
I then examined the AppleScript command on the given run script and tested it on AppleScript editor : execution result was false. Error was the name of the docset file was missing.
By adding the docset filename the AppleScript script run successfully and the docset is well inserted to documentation :
Before :
echo "load documentation set with path \"/Users/$USER/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/\""
After :
echo "load documentation set with path \"/Users/$USER/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/com.mycompany.DoxygenExample.docset\""

Netbeans - Cannot find include file : QtGui

I am trying to work with Netbeans ans Qt (on Windows) and I am having trouble getting set up.
I am getting a message that it can't find an included file: QtGui/QApplication.
I think that I must have a path wrong somewhere. Under Tools -> Options QMake Command I have
C:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin\qmake.exe
In Windows, I have the PATH set to C:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin
Any ideas?
