Installation

Binaries

A precompiled plugin for QtCreator Windows with statically linked editorconfig-core-c and pcre can be found here. It has to be unpacked into the Qt folder (Usually C:\Qt).

RPMs for openSUSE Leap 42.1 and Tumbleweed are available from the openSUSE Build Service.

From Source

Requirements:

• QtCreator source and build folders
• editorconfig-core-c
• pcre

The last two are best taken from your linux distribution. For Windows they usually must be build locally and added to the INCLUDEPATH and LIBS variables. Static editorconfig-core-c and pcre libraries are best for easy deployment of the plugin.

For building plugins you usually have to build QtCreator yourself. For openSUSE the special libqt5-creator-plusgin-devel RPM provided in the repository mentioned above caon be used instead.

The environment variables QTC_SOURCE shall contain the path to qt-creators source, QTC_BUILD to it's build folder. Now run

mkdir build
cd  build
qmake ../editorconfig.pro
make
make install

Instead of using the environment variables you can specify QTCREATOR_SOURCES and IDE_BUILD_TREE on the qmake command line.

Additionally you can specify USE_USER_DESTDIR=yes, so that the plugin is installed in the users plugin folder for direct use with the next run of QtCreator. QtCreator option -noload EditorConfig can be used to suppress the load of the plugin, for the case that something goes wrong.
