Hi, I'm pretty new to Eclipse CDT. I have installed Eclipse Kepler on Mac, and I'd like to use QT in my project. The Qt integration plugin seems out-of-date, so I have downloaded the opensource Qt. But I don't really know how to set it in Eclipse. I guess I have to build with qmake, not make? But there are surely other links to update? If anyone can help with that, thanks in advance.

You have a project.pro file. Here you define your project for Qt. Then you use qmake to create your makefile from project.pro. And then you can just build in Eclipse using this makefile.

Thanks for the answer. However, I don't have a project.pro file. I attach an image of my working repertory.

Well, you have to create the .pro file. Please refer to the Qt documentation
http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7/qmake-manual.html
As a first step you can create a .pro file by calling
qmake -project

in your source folder.

This is not a kind of integration a user of Qt library would expect. I would also like to use CDT for developing Qt based projects but a proper integration should include at least this:


  • Content assist for Qt signals/slots inside call of connect function,
  • Proper visualization of Qt-specific types like QString/QList/... during debugging,
  • A simple way to navigate from symbols in the code to Qt documentation,
  • (Optional) Managing pro file in a more automatic way (for example when adding new files).


All this minimal integration is included in QtCreator, but their C++ parser is not as good as CDT one currently. Without these basic things it is not convenient to develop Qt based projects in CDT.

The question is: how do I add a proper integration of Qt to Eclipse CDT?

Any way for proper integration of Qt into Eclipse CDT?
