Qt Creator is an IDE from Qt.

Qt Creator and kdesrc-build

After you configure kdesrc-build and you can correctly build a KDE projects such as kcalc.

Edit ~/.config/kdesrc-buildrc . It should look like:

global ...

   include-dependencies true

...

   kdedir ~/kde/usr

...

   source-dir ~/kde/src

...

   build-dir ~/kde/build

...

   cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

The line above is important in order to use the debugger from Qt Creator.

Make sure you have the correct number on the line "num-cores ".

Build kcalc, make sure there are no errors: kdesrc-build --include-dependencies kcalc

E.g. install Qt Creator from your current Linux distro's packages. E.g. apt install qtcreator.

Start Qt Creator. E.g. from a terminal qtcreator &
