Trying to compile Doomsday in Qt Creator

Horst Azeglio · 2016 Oct 15

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Congrats for Doomsday, it's a great source port.
I'm trying to compile it in Windows (for the first time ever) but I fail to do it.
Here's what I get in Compile Output:

The kit Clone of Desktop Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2013 64bit has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.

If you go to the Build & Run > Kits page in Qt Creator settings, does the dialog have any explanations as to what is wrong with the configuration? Did you make a clone of the original Qt 5.7 kit for some reason?

Horst Azeglio · 2016 Oct 16

Yes, there seems to be something wrong with the kits (I'm new to QT) so I cloned one of them or else I couldn't edit its config. Now the cloned one is the least broken of them. The only problem with it is: "Warning: No debugger set up". I tried to add a debugger but I couldn't find the path of an expected exe file. What could be the name of the debugger's exe file?

skyjake · 2016 Oct 17

A missing debugger shouldn't cause the build to fail... I wonder if something went wrong when you installed Qt? Assuming you have the right version of Visual Studio and the 3rd party libraries installed, the Qt build should work pretty much straight out of the box (after setting up your config_user.pri to help locate the libraries).

I guess you're trying to build the stable 1.15 release? It might be easier to get started with the unstable 2.0 because we've switched to CMake as the build system, which makes things more robust compared to qmake. It should be easier to configure the build with CMake.

The CDB debugger is available as a separate download from Microsoft. If it is installed, Qt Creator should find it automatically.
