Hello, sometimes i need to make smaller console programs. They are simple enough that i don't need Qt for them, but i still want to use Qt Creator for development. Development and debugging is fine, but i can't run the built exe file outside of creator. (build in release mode, of course) Double clicking on the exe i'm presented with an "impossible to find entry point" dialog. The project is being getting compiled with the Qt 6.10 MinGW Kit Initially i thought the problem was me using MinGW instead of MSVC. Same issue with the LLVM and MSVC kits. Instead, if I build the project with plain MinGW (copy CMakeList.txt and source files in another folder, use VSCodium's CMake plugin), i get a working executable. I'd like to understand what i'm doing wrong: Is using a Qt kit to build a non-qt application the problem? Can/Should i add plain MinGW as a "kit"? Is there a way to do what i want with Qt Creator? Because while i can use VSCodium or another IDE for debugging, i really prefer Qt Creator's interface. Thanks

Maybe with a custom QGraphicsEffect calling drawSource with a scaled/translated QPainter. Another solution would be to use QWidget::grab() periodically to get a QPixmap of the widget and overlaying that on top of it. For potential future readers looking for the minimap keyword: In Qt Quick it's pretty easy to do so with just a scaled down ShaderEffectSource.

Using QT Designer might be the simpler route if the main goal is to keep the workflow smooth with Python. QT Design Studio projects often need manual adjustments before they run properly under PySide6.

@henry.ishiyama yes, twhen its forced to run in a port nothing is listening on that port.

Hi everyone, We work on developing enterprise learning and training platforms, and recently we’ve been exploring Qt for building desktop or device-based applications that support safety training use cases. In industries like oil & gas—especially in regions such as the UAE—safety training systems often need to support offline access, structured learning modules, controlled user roles, and reliable performance across different environments. We’re interested in understanding from the community: Has anyone used Qt for building training, compliance, or safety-related applications? How well does Qt scale for enterprise-focused learning or content-driven platforms? Any best practices or architectural considerations when using Qt for regulated industry use cases? This is mainly an experience-sharing and learning discussion. Looking forward to hearing your insights. Thanks!

Sometimes, like when you are marooned on a desert island [in an announcer voice] Coming soon, to a desert island near you... :) Yeah, I guess cases where all you have is text search on a big code base are not that uncommon, like when browsing github repo or something like that, but specifically overrides... I don't think I ever had to look for overrides this way. Oh well, different people different use cases.

@RoadCoder said in subdirs Projekt mit cmake?: gehen subdirs mit cmake nicht oder mache ich das was falsch? Hi, jap. Wenn ich mich nicht irre, ist "subDirs" bzw. SubDir-Project eine Bezeichnung von QMake. Meine das Macro bzw. die QMake Funktion heißt sogar so. Jetzt noch extra QMake zu lernen, halte ich aber für völligen Blödsinn, da Qt die Weiterentwicklung eingestellt hat und mittlerweile CMake der Standard und das empfohlene Buildsystem für Qt Apps ist. Und bei CMake erübrigt sich das ganze SubDir Theater ja, weil du ja eh in jedem Verzeichnis (theoretisch) ne eigene CMakeLists.txt anlegen kannst, die weitere Unterordner und andere Targets verwaltet :)

Hi, This is a user forum. You should open a feature request on the bug report system.
