Revision history [back]

I was able to use QtCreator by running through the catkin following steps:

1. Since QtCreator needs its own working directory that I put in a place where you do not bother.

2. In the "Build Settings"

   2.1. I set the following custom build settings "build steps"

   -command: catkin_make

   -Working directory: /home/myuser/catkin_ws

   -Command arguments: none

   2.2. I set the following custom clean settings "clean steps"

   -command: catkin_make clean

   -Working directory: /home/myuser/catkin_ws

   -Command arguments: none

3. In the "Run Settings" menu I have replaced the "Run" default configuration with my custom:

   -Run configuration: MyCustomRunConfiguration

   -Executable: my_executable

   -Arguments: none

   -Working diretcory: /home/myuser/catkin_ws/devel/lib/my_executable

I know that is not a permanent solution but only a trick, also the folder created by QtCreator is never used. to now is the best I could do.
