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

[Michael Jackson]

This is also happening on my Linux Mint 17.1 installation. I have the latest CMake and QtCreator installed. Interestingly, on my linux box I have trouble with other include paths not being found although it really looks like they should be found. For instance on OS X, our project plugin sources were having issues until I changed some cmake codes to add some more paths. On linux, QtCreator can not complete a simple QComboBox or a boost_sharedptr<T>.

Odd

Cheers
Mike Jackson

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.

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.
