[Qt-creator] Feedback: Missing way to pass environment variables

[Axel Jäger]

Hello,
we have some projects ongoing that use additional libraries. Because  
we cant and dont want to do a make install from the IDE, our current  
hack is to put symlinks to the libraries in /usr/lib. This is a hack  
so we need a way to pass LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the executable.

If you think about implementing such thing, have a look on how Xcode  
handles this:

You have a table with three columns: Name, value and a third to check  
wether to pass this variable on the particular run. This way you can  
disable variables and there is no hassle an readding them when needed  
again.

Also I'd like to see such a table for cmd-line args. The current  
lineedit looks a bit lost on my 22" screen when QtCreator runs in  
fullscreen. Also I dont know how to add arguments containing spaces. I  
could guess that tere is some kind of escaping but I'm not sure.

You already have a component for environment variables in the build  
settings. It could be reused in the run settings,

Best regards,
Axel Jäger
