[Qt-creator] QtCreator 3.3, CMake and Include Paths

[Michael Jackson]

I had to tweak my CMake files to massage the "include_directories()" command to create paths that QtCreator would tie to a project so that they would get included. It seems like some of the include paths would get used and others ignored. I'll probably have to dive into the QtCreator code at some point to try and figure it out. If anyone else has any other suggestions that would be wonderful.

So just to be clear, I have a workaround but I had to change my project a bit to make it work with QtCreator.

Thanks
Mike Jackson

I have tried tweaking my CMakeLists.txt file but nothing I am trying seems to get all of the include paths that are needed by project. My project builds just fine, whether inside or outside of QtCreator. Just that now I am not getting any code completion for about half my code base.
