qtcreator cmake "No executable specified" - cmake

Im having a very annoying issue with qtcreator and cmake projects: qtcreator fails to find the executable. It just prints "No executable specified" when trying to launch any executable from the IDE. Everything works fine after configuring the project (first time only). The issue manifests when loading the project afterwards. Only workaround is deleting the "CMakeLists.txt.user" before every use. This is tedious and unnecessary.
This is happening to projects that were running just fine for years, both my own and my colleagues, on multiple machines running ubuntu 14.04 & 14.10. Problems started with qtcreator version 3 and higher from ubuntu 14.04 upwards.
Assuming that the issue is triggered by some changes in the "CMakeLists.txt.user", after the project is closed the first time, I replaced the file with a copy of it right after it was created the first time. This worked, thus confirming that there is either something wrong with the file itself, or changes to it trigger an existing bug in qt-creator. Unfortunately it is just as tedious as deleting the file in the first place.
My Challenge:
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the inner workings of qtcreaor, however I managed to identify the specific config lines that are responsible. What does qtcreator actually change here?
Please note that "racoon" is the project name and the above diff screenshot is much larger than formatted by stackoverflow (right-click to view full resolution).
Thank you.

i had exactly the same problem using Ubuntu 14.10 and resolved it by doing the following:
Get ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/a/an/anthonos/mirror/os3-next/os3-rpm/q/qtcreator-3.1.2-0.x86_64.rpm
Extract the file /usr/lib/qtcreator/plugins/QtProject/libCMakeProjectManager.so
Overwrite this file at
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/plugins/ ( at least on x64)
in your system
This will replace the cmake plugin which is currently version 3.1.1 with 3.1.2 which will make the problem disappear !

I installed qtcreator using Qt's own installer instead of the one provided by Ubuntu. It installs version 5.3.1 and fixes the problem.

How can I stop my IAR ide from hanging when changing build configurations

I have come across this particular problem several times across several versions of the IAR embedded workbench (EW430 5.40.7 [EW 6.0], EW430 5.51.2 [EW 6.4], EW430 6.20.1 [EW 7.0]), but each time only after a long period of having no problems. The problem doesn't seem to have affected the other firmware developers in the office, so no help can be offered there. I'm currently on Windows 10, but the problems first occurred when I was on Windows 8.1 (same PC.)
The problem is that, for no obvious trigger, the IAR ide will start to hang until terminated (or it will just crash on one of the EW versions) on any attempt to change the active build configuration in MSP430 projects using the emulator.
From my testing, it appears to be directly related to something the IDE is doing with the emulator, as when the build configuration is changed, I can see the emulator menu in the menu bar disappear, then the hang happens. Under normal circumstances, the menu will disappear, but then reappear once the other debug configuration is completely loaded.
I have tried the default project "flashing the LED" to see if it was only my project - but if I select the msp430x4xx (C) - Debug, right click it and select "Set as Active" from the context menu, to make this the active project, the IDE also hung. I then reopened the EW IDE, and opened the LED flashing project again. The original 1xx asm project was the active project.
I then changed the settings of the 4xx (C) Debug project (without making it the active project) from the emulator to the simulator, and clicked OK. The program did NOT crash.
I then set the 4xx (C) Debug project as the active project and it did NOT crash. The simulator even runs without problems.
The version of the FET firmware didn't change from when the IDE worked correctly to when it didn't, and the FET is not even used at this point. It can be completely disconnected and the same results will occur.
I have tried the following, without success:
erasing the files in my project folder's settings subfolder
erasing the *.dep files in the project folder.
deleting the IarIdePm.ini file from AppData\Roaming\IAR Embedded Workbench
making sure none of the project files are read-only
reinstalling the program to the same location
removing and reinstalling the program to the same location.
What does solve the problem (until it reoccurs) is to reinstall the program, but to a different directory (for e.g., the default directory will be in program files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench x.x. Installing again into program files (x86)\IAR Systems\EWx (just so it is different) allowed that installation to work, but the old installation continued to fail.
Best advice so far (from our support person) has been to do the above, install to another directory and live with it, as it doesn't happen often.
Since it has happened to me on 3 occasions with 3 different versions of the program, I would like to know how to fix or prevent it! If anyone could offer anything to try (or even better, a straight solution :)) that would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
Since newer versions and updates on W10, it seems that old compatibilities are being removed from this OS. I have no direct solution for this problem since Microsoft does not promise support for old software and hardware. Even I tried to find a solution for that problem, and I found on the IAR website a list of IDE's and their compatible versions. (remember, old versions are not compatible)
( https://www.iar.com/knowledge/support/technical-notes/ide/windows-10-and-iar-embedded-workbench/ )
You will need to update your IDE and program version to a newer version if you plan to continue to use this IDE natively on Windows 10 or you may use Virtual machines with an old operational system (like Windows 7) to compile your program on old IDE.
P.S.1 I manually uninstalled KB4592449 recently updated and the program return to work natively. Probably it will continue working until this update (or other similar) being installed again on the computer, but probably there is any vulnerability that the computer will be exposed to, and in this case, I'm paying the price.
P.S.2 KB4580325 promotes the same behavior in IAR 5.11 on windows 10. Both KB's implement securities about the flash player - that I Don't use - then, I can securely uninstall it.
P.S.3 Since I updated my windows up to Windows 10 version 21H1 (compilation 19043.1165) AND I configured Windows defender to not be monitoring IAR IDE (IarIdePM.exe) disabling all protections available, everything works fine. But Remember: my program is original, not cracked or altered by anything, then I am secure to do what I did.
It is a 'natural' that software problem. Not found way of fixing it. The solution temporary is modify manually the file .eww for change of project active. The ultimate solution is to use another development environment.

Why cannot find declaration to go to in IntelliJ Idea?

I have a code in go, and I am using IntelliJIdea for development. It used to work fine, but since the time I have changed the folder where the code used to be, IntelliJ has been behaving in a weird manner. It shows me a lot of unable to find declaration to go to errors. After changing the folder where my project used to be, I changed the GOPATH and imported from the new directory once again.
I am attaching the screenshot as that will be better for understanding.
See the conductor.Start(). This function is right there in the package app. But it can't find this.
PS: I have tried importing the project from scratch and invalidating and restarting multiple times, but that didn't help.
I'm using Gogland, which is also a JetBrains IDE, but I also had a problem with symbols not getting resolved.
I fixed it by deleting the project's index file.
Close the IDE.
In your project directory, find a directory named ".idea".
Delete all files with the extension ".iml" in that directory.
Restart the IDE.
The project should get reindexed and symbols will be resolved.
https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/project_structure.html?search=.iml
For my case, Intellij didn't have Rust installed. I found that out while trying to create a new project (it had JAVA and other language support). As soon as I installed Rust, it worked.
For my case, I have 2 virtual environments, and I found that I did not set the correct environment in Pycharm. The environment I used did not include these packages. After I changed the environment, everything goes well.

How to obtain all versions of KRE?

Problem
I want to both use stable versions of KRE and the bleeding edge nightly built KRE. One ASP.NET5 application may be beta2, but another I may want to be beta4. So what I did was install both in powershell as found here.
What happened is that the stable KVM installed in C:/Users/derp/.kre and the nightly build KVM installed in C:/Users/derp/.k
Worse yet, I can only see this now
Attempts
I tried kvm install KRE-CLR-x86.1.0.0-beta2 and it failed
Shall I try moving the packages from /kre file to the /.k file? This seems hacky and like a really bad idea
RTFM - Tried to use the install feature and including the -a, but failed.
I'm doing something the hard way and can't see the obvious.
I search on here
I feel if there is an answer to what I am trying to do above, it is worth being on here for others to find as well. Thank you all for your patience.
ASP.NET 5 is under development and there is no guarantee that changes between different pre-release version are backward compatible (sorry!).
The /.kre -> ./k rename is not backward compatible and you cannot have both the old and the new kvm simultaneously on the PATH. However, you can get can have two versions of kvm on your machine but you will have to use the full path for at least one of them.
I think the key is the path environment variable of your system. You have to use two set of "kvm", one for night builds, one for public beta, to download and set correct path environment variable.
For instance, I get one kvm from Entity Framework 7 repository, which can download and use beta 4 builds. I also have another kvm from Home repository which can download and use public beta builds.
You can use either kvm with "upgrade" or "use" command to set correct path environment variable, then run your application on the runtime you need. I think even Visual Studio 2015 CTP runs your projects based on the Runtime specified in your path environment variable. For the time being, only beta 3 run times can display in the project property dialog of VS 2015 CTP, but when hitting ctrl + F5, my website starts to load beta 4 runtime and assemblies, I can see the loading in output window, I think this is because I have .k folder prior to the .kre folder in the path environment variable.
Can you try the following?
$cmd-prompt>kpm Install KRE-CLR-x86
It worked for me.

Bugzilla install on Windows 7 with Apache & Mysql

Environment:
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
Apache 2.2.25
ActivePerl 5.18.2 Build 1802 (64 bit)
Bugzilla 4.4.5 (extracted)
Okay, I have followed step-by-step instructions as indicated here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Win32Install
There's 1 major issue that I've researched all day and cannot find a solution. It's the "ppm install DBD-mysql" issue. There is no "DBD-mysql". When I use the ppm gui, there's a DBD-mysqlpp , but that's not what's needed.
When I run in a command window: C:\bugzilla\checksetup.pl , I get the only error:
Checking for DBD-mysql (v4.001) not found
For MySQL, Bugzilla requires that perl's DBD::mysql 4.001 or later be
installed. To install this module, run the following command (as Administrator):
ppm install DBD-mysql
Well, I found DBD-mysql 4.028 here: http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql-4.028
However, trying to get the perl ppm (perl package manager) gui to see it, but even pointing the link in the gui preferences it still wouldn't see it to download and install it. This sucks.
So, I manually downloaded it and saw some crap "makefile.pl" file. Look, I use WINDOWS not LINUX, so naturally I rolled my eyes but it quickly became clear that I HAD to do this. Well, after about an hour of screwing around I was finally able to make a mysql_config.pl file. Oh wow, great.... now what!? What do I do next with this??
Not only is this part aggravating, but now I need mod_perl in my Apache. Okay, so I look in my .conf file where I can uncomment:
#LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
Guess what... it's not there. (facepalm)
So I researched and downloaded mod_perl 2.0.8 from: http://perl.apache.org/download/index.html
Heh, ... guess what... another damn "makefile" file!! Let me tell you, this is as bad as being a MAC user in the late 90's and trying to find a program to be compatible.
So, my 2 main questions are these:
How do I get DBD-mysql properly installed
How do I get the mod_perl properly installed
I have been working 12 hours non-stop trying to get Bugzilla installed. At this point, I'm so frustrated beyond believe I'm ready to scrap this and install flyspray or some other php/mysql bug tracking system.
For future reference in case anyone stumbles upon this item:
Most Perl modules have installation instructions, either in their .pod documentation or in a README or INSTALL file.
Most Perl modules follow a similar installation mechanism: create a makefile; run make; make test (which runs a set of tests, unsurprisingly), and then install the module. From the commandline, this looks like the following:
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Both mod_perl and DBD::mysql have platform-specific installation information in the release notes.
DBD-mysql is a package that you can find in ActiveState Package Repository. That means that it should be installed at the time you installed ActivePerl, making your question really strange. I know it because I just did it yesterday, and everything worked just fine.
A possible solution for this issue is:
Open the command line in Windows;
Type ppm, press enter and wait. A GUI for the Perl Package Manager will be displayed;
Search for DBD-mysql. If you find it, schedule it for installation by right-clicking it and clicking on Install DBD-mysql 4.022;
Although, you probably won't find it. If you don't, press Ctrl+P and, in the dialog that appears, select the Repositories tab. Add a new repository:
Name: ActiveState-Package-Repository
Location: http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.16/1604/package.xml
It will update the list of packages. Repeat steps 1 to 3.
If you prefer doing it by the command line, these are the instructions:
ppm repo add ActiveState-Package-Repository http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.16/1604/package.xml
ppm install DBD-mysql

Can't uninstall GlassFish 3

Okay, so here is the deal:
I was trying to install the java jdk so i can work on an android project in eclipse on this computer, but there are just so many different installations of java its impossible, for me atleast, to figure out exactly which one i needed. so i went with "JDK 7u3 with Java EE". But this also installed this GlassFish stuff, which i have no idea what is or what it does, and when i was going through all the eclipse stuff i decided to just keep my other computer for work. so i removed eclipsed and the stuff needed for that, and i removed the java stuff, but then when i try to uninstall the GlassFish, it can't, and gives me the error:
"Could not find the required version of the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment in '(null)'."
I have now been trying for several hours, scouring the web to figure out some way of removing this, install all kinds of java stuff, removing it again, reinstalling, but nothing works. I don't really care what GlassFish is or what it does, i just want it, and all the java stuff gone for good.
How can i accomplish this?
under Microsoft Windows 7 (or others), use that command line :
uninstall.exe -j "%JAVA_HOME%"
You installed first jdk1.6 then uninstalled it. In this time, you install glassfish3 and glassfish wrote set AS_JAVA=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_x in its config file but you use now jdk1.7
Open C:\glassfishv3\glassfish\config\asenv.bat
Search 'set AS_JAVA'
Change its value to your current jdk path ( eg. C:\Progra¨1\Java\jdk1.7.xx )
Try to uninstall again.
You can run the uninstall specifying the jvm to use:
try this following command to uninstall
C:\glassfish3\uninstall.exe -j <java home dir>
as stated in the error message. it worked for me.
GlassFish is a Java EE application server developed in open source, so you can create server-side services that your android apps can consume. Of course, is sounds like you are not really interested in this :-)
The Java EE SDK install/uninstall instructions are here: http://java.sun.com/javaee/sdk/javaee6sdk_install.jsp
What you probably want to download, the Java 7 SDK (JDK 7) is here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Make sure you download the JDK (Java Developer Kit) and not the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
Hope this helps.
These didn't work for me running java 1.6.0_24 in Windows 7:
I tried modifying the asenv.bat file that glassfish uses to find the jre to point to my jre.
I tried manually putting it in as in C:\glassfish3\uninstall.exe -j . This was per the official Oracle documentation.
The only thing that worked was to use the original path and move the bin and lib folders from my java installation to the directory that the error dialog
specified. Then the Glassfish uninstall started up and completed with no problems.
I was able to uninstall the glasshfish server by using the below command
uninstall.exe -javahome "%JAVA_HOME%"
Note: We need to set the JAVA_HOME in the environment variable and classpath variable
