But when I update the Qt toolkit from the default 5.4, which is the same version as QtCreator is built with, to 5.5
I'm unclear what's happening here, but I think you're using Qt Creator (built with Qt 5.4) in an environment where Qt 5.5 is installed, is that right? Yes, that should be possible. However, Qt Creator is picking up its plugins from the environment because it is not purely wrapped. The Qt 5.5 packages come with a mechanism to wrap Qt programs purely so this doesn't happen; I would recommend building Qt Creator with Qt 5.5.
Sorry for the confusing description. But yes, that's what I meant.
I don't know if it'll be acceptable to switch qtcreator on release-15.09 to qt55, but it's good to know this will not be a problem in the future. (I do most work on release-15.09.)
I was under the impression that the Qt library version used to build QtCreator was completely independent of what Qt toolkit version is being used for application development within the IDE. (I think I've seen tutorials where QtCreator has been configured with more than one Qt toolkit, ready for use in application development.)
But when I update the Qt toolkit from the default 5.4, which is the same version as QtCreator is built with, to 5.5, then QtCreator will not start:
(This is inside a FHS user env.)
I re-tried after removing state files in $HOME (
rm -rf ~/.config/QtProject* ~/.config/TrollTech.conf
). Same result.Is this a true bug?
