Question

Can I use the Qt Creator IDE for non-GUI programming? Now, compiling “Hello world” like plain C project:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}

I get an error

:-1: error: Circular all <- project dependency dropped.

What did I do wrong?

I found the solution. In Tools – Options – Environment in Terminal a wrote xterm -e and it worked 🙂 Thanks for all.

I’ve been using QtCreator for writing a console app in C. I just have the following at the top of the project file:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= qt

And then the usual stuff to include sources (eg, SOURCES += main.c). Seems to work fine.
