-= Qt Creator =
-[http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools?currentflipperobject=821c7594d32e33932297b1e065a976b8 Qt Creator] is a cross-platform IDE that fully integrates Qt into the development of applications. Slicer CMake project is supported by Qt Creator, the following describes tips using Qt Creator.
-* Launch qtcreator through slicer to setup paths and paths to paths (this allows qtcreator to locate our custom designer plugins):
- Slicer4 --launch /path/to/qtcreator
-* Configure and compile Slicer outside qtcreator first, from command line.
-* Open /path/to/Slicer-src/CMakeLists.txt in qtcreator, when prompted, choose the build directory where Slicer was configured and compiled in the previous step. (/path/to/Slicer-Superbuild/Slicer-build)
-* Turn off verbose make using this from Slicer-build:
- cmake -D CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=OFF .
