Hi,
I am trying to integrate PlatformIO with qt creator on macos catalina, but seem to struggle a little… I can’t figure out how to configure the project to use a kit: No suitable kits found.
create project and initialize: platformio init --board esp12e --ide qtcreator
open project file in qt creator…
In the Projects mode, all default desktop kits are grayed out, saying “you cannot use this kit, because it does not fulfill the project’s prerequisites.”
I also tried to create a manual kit with the platformio compilers (c++ and gcc in ~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin/), but that also is not fulfilling the prerequisits…
In terminal, I can use the several platformio commands to build and upload the sketch with no trouble. Any ideas how to make it run as smoothly in qt creator? Thanks a lot in advance
yes, that does not work either, since the ‘empty qt project’ does not exist to start with…
when I select e.g. ‘other project -> empty qmake project’, I have the same issue. might be it’s not a platformio issue at all ¯_(ツ)_/¯
it is probably related to me installing qt-creator with homebrew, which is mac specific. I have narrowed it down to qt-creator not finding the qt version, that is also installed via brew.
using the installer from their webpage, it suggests to download a ~20GB package of qt stuff. my guess is that it will have its prerequisites fulfilled then.
I have switched to Atom instead, there everything works fine now. this thread can be closed.
thank you very much for your efforts, @maxgerhardt!
