Creator 4.5.2 crash adding INCLUDEPATH

[PUK_999]

Hello,

I am trying to make use of a 3rd party library. It is header only. For reference, it is the CML matrix library at http://www.cmldev.net.

I've added the following entry to my .pro file:

INCLUDEPATH = c:/cml/cml-1_0_0

INCLUDEPATH = c:/cml/cml-1_0_0

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When I load this project under Creator, it crashes. I've looked at the qtcreator.exe and its memory usage very quickly (a few seconds) reaches 1,991,216KB which I believe is why it's crashing.

Am I doing something wrong? I am quite desperate to overcome this hurdle.

EDIT: I think it might be reading the source for indexing/code completion purposes. I have the include of cml.h in one of my source files.

Thanks,

PUK

Try using

INCLUDEPATH += c:/cml/cml-1_0_0

INCLUDEPATH += c:/cml/cml-1_0_0

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Apologies for delay - I've been away.

I have tried the += and it still crashes in the same manner.

Is Qt Creator only suitable for applications that use trivial/lightweight headers?

Anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks,

PUK.

I use the includepath both on window and on Linux.

unix:INCLUDEPATH += ../QExtSerialport-1.1/src
win32:INCLUDEPATH += ../QExtSerialport-1.1/src

unix:INCLUDEPATH += ../QExtSerialport-1.1/src
win32:INCLUDEPATH += ../QExtSerialport-1.1/src

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I don't have any errors.

Try relative path....

Using relative path crashes Creator the same. I'm sure the '-' isn't a problem. Indeed the include you use also has a minus symbol.

The source of the CML library is in the cml subdir.

Try in this way

INCLUDEPATH += c:/cml/cml-1_0_1/cml/

I download your library.

I create a new console project and add the path

INCLUDEPATH += /tmp/cml-1_0_1

I don't have any crash of qtcreator...

Try in a new empty project. Maybe there is something else...

INCLUDEPATH += c:/cml/cml-1_0_1/cml/

I have just tried this but the CML headers include required sub-headers from the cml subdirectory and then cannot find them. Therefore the path in the include path needs to be up one level.

I download your library.

I create a new console project and add the path

INCLUDEPATH += /tmp/cml-1_0_1

I am always creating a new GUI application from scratch every time. I am using Creator 4.5.2 under Vista (tried under XP also). May I ask your configuration?

One interesting point is that you're using CML 1.0.1 and I'm using 1.0.0. I will try to obtain the latter and see if that helps.

Thank you for downloading the library and trying it out!

To get the crash, you also have to edit a .cpp file and add the following:

#include <cml/cml.h>

#include <cml/cml.h>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

At this stage, the working set for Creator balloons to the point where it crashes.

That made no difference

You're right! Same crash!

I was using CML under Microsoft Visual Studio without problems, so I don't think there's anything wrong with their library (just header files actually). Anyway, I've asked the CML authors if they could help with ideas but appreciate it might not be a high priority for them.

As it's definitely a Qt Creator problem (because it shouldn't crash under any circumstances), I should file a bug report.

My problem is getting the two working might take a while and I need to proceed with my work so I might look at another vector/matrix library that works ok with Qt Creator. I was just getting used to CML and it's nice dovetailing with OpenGL!
