Hi Kevin:
My apologies for not replying a little bit sooner.
You have a point: I did missed your email inside the specs file: they
call that either "tunel vision", or "need of a break"...:-(
To get the plugin to compile and show in QtCreator I did the following:
1) Modified the project (.pro) file to reflect the location of both, the
QtCreator sources and the compiled application itself, as you explain at
the Trac website. As the name of the compiled application contains a
space, you have to escape it inside the .pro file, namely "Qt\\
Creator.app/Contents/..." (see the modified project file enclosed below).
2) Modified the destination directory (DESTDIR) as well to define where
to place the compiled plugin inside the application bundle
3) Replaced all instances of "1.3.84" by "2.0.80" inside the
Doxygen.pluginspec file. Before doing this QtCreator fails to load the
plugin and lists all dependencies on 1.3.84 versions as missing (obvious).
As this turns rather convoluted to explain, I take the liberty of
encloning the modified project file at the end of this email. Of course,
somebody else's settings should reflect the location of their source
files and the like, but this provides at least a template of the needed
changes to at least reach the "loaded plugin" stage on a Mac. With the
settings below the plugin files get correctly copied into the "Qt
Creator.app" application bundle without a glitch.
I have a custom installation of Qt-4.7.0 (git branch 4.7) at
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.0, and QtCreator compiled from the git
repository sources (branch 2.0) as of two or three days ago.
I did try to run the plugin on the header files themselves, but to no
avail: it doesn't appear to have any effect whatsoever. I guess I still
missed something, but that probably reaches my incompetence level...
I hope this helps to get the plugin working for as many people as
possible in the future. I know it has a tag of "low priority", but I
assure you that having to generate all the doxygen tags et al by hand
turns into a royal pain in your backside after a while. I also believe
that you have done a pretty good job already. I think you should give a
little more credit yourself: I surely appreciate it.
Your plugin, together with the astyle plugin turn into two of the things
I would really like to get working across the board, meaning on Mac,
Linux, and Mac (I end up having to work with all of them NIXes sooner or
later). Now that I have a working Mac again (an upgrade to Snow Leopard
a while back left in pretty bad shape (no backup of the backup)), I
would like to try to get these tools working.
Thank you for your reply,
Victor
