[Qt-creator] QtCreator 10 and CMakePresets

[Michael Jackson]

 As a follow up to the below I have noticed that the command that QtCreator
is using to configure the project is the following:

Running /opt/local/cmake-3.25.3-macos-universal/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake
-S /Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3DNX -B
/Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3D-Build/DREAM3DNX-Release-x64
-DCMAKE_GENERATOR:STRING=Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=STRING
-DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:FILEPATH=/Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3D-Build/DREAM3DNX-Release-x64/.qtc/package-manager/auto-setup.cmake
-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH= -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH= -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=BOOL -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=FILEPATH
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH=FILEPATH
-DCOMPLEX_BUILD_DOCS:BOOL=BOOL -DCOMPLEX_BUILD_PYTHON:BOOL=BOOL
-DCOMPLEX_BUILD_TESTS:BOOL=BOOL -DDREAM3D_DATA_DIR:STRING=STRING
-DDREAM3D_ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION:BOOL=BOOL -DMKDOCS_EXECUTABLE:PATH=PATH
-DPython3_EXECUTABLE:PATH=PATH -DQt5_DIR:PATH=PATH
-DVCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR:STRING=STRING -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_DIR:STRING=STRING
-DVCPKG_MANIFEST_FEATURES:STRING=STRING
-DVCPKG_MANIFEST_INSTALL:BOOL=BOOL
-DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=STRING -DVTK_DIR:PATH=PATH in
/Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3D-Build/DREAM3DNX-Release-x64.```

I feel like those “BOOL=BOOL” and “PATH=PATH” should be BOOL=TRUE and
PATH=/opt/local/foo/bar?


And How do I convince QtCreator that it doesn’t need:

-DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:FILEPATH=/Users/mjackson/Workspace1/DREAM3D-Build/DREAM3DNX-Release-x64/.qtc/package-manager/auto-setup.cmake


Anyways, here is the output from trying to configure my build;
