Qt-Creator-2.2.1 for PixieLive-2.0

2011-12-05T12:16:00+01:00

Just in case someone need an IDE for PixieLive2 (i do), i prepared a module containing Qt Creator IDE.

quoting from the qt website:

Qt Creator is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) tailored to the needs of Qt developers.

all the needed libraries are contained into the module, even qt-libs-4.7.2
the package include the usual Save Qt-Creator Settings menu entry

so if you want to include this module into your system:

you have to shutdown PixieLive2
you have to REMOVE the old qt-core-4.6.3-r1.lzm from your modules directory before installing qt-creator.2.2.1
then put qt-creator-2.2.1-qt-4.7.2-included.lzm into your modules directory as usual
boot PixieLive2 and enjoy your new IDE

i remember you to remove the old qt-core-4.6.3-r1.lzm while PixieLive2 is NOT running to avoid filesystem corruption

Here you can find the module for PixieLive.

notes:

Since it sync your computer you should place your Dropbox folder into the Documents directory, which is saved on your pendrive and it will not be deleted at every reboot
You can save your Dropbox settings as usual with the PixieLive-->Save Dropbox Settings menu, to avoid to insert your username and password at every reboot
If you use PixieLive with persistent changes you can place the Dropbox directory where you prefer and you don't need to use the Save Settings menu
You start with 2GB, and you can get 250MB more registering with my link, you can also get some more free space by completing some more steps here, you can easily reach 3GB of free space.
It could work also on PixieLive-1.0, not tested yet
