Fwd: support for bjam projects in IDE
Hi, I will have to work on bjam based project (rather big). I normally use QT Creator for programming and work with cmake based project. I could't find any hint how to set up an bjam project to work with QT neither information about any IDE which supports bjam. Do boost developer use vim and debug using gdb only? Actually the other guys on the project wrote some python scripts which parse bjam output to generated vcproj files :-@ I would be happy to hear from someone who are happy using bjam with qtcreator or any other IDE for larger projects and how to set this up. All my searches so far regarding bjam return almost exclusively FUD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt) but looking at the Jamroot.jam file of the project (more than 1000 lines) I am inclinded to believe it. ;-( -- Witold Eryk Wolski -- Witold Eryk Wolski

There is no BBv2 integration in Qt Creator, yet, as per this thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.creator/8927 If I'm too lazy to switch to terminal, I have b2 configured as External Tool with Shift+Alt+B shortcut attached. executable: b2 working directory: %{CurrentDocument:Path} It is not an ideal, but it allows me to run build from directory of a .cpp file work with. Visual Studio as well as Qt Creator allow you to create generic/dummy/so-called-makefile project then you can specify build/clean/run commands on your own, let it be b2.

I use Qt Creator as well. I wrote a little helper for myself, you may find it useful: https://github.com/mloskot/qt-creator-plugin-boostbuild Best regards, -- Mateusz Ĺoskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
