Installing wwWidgets for Qt 5 - qt5

I recently installed Qt 5.0.2 with MinGW 4.7. Previously I used Qt 4.8 and I used wwWidgets, a useful widget pack for my projects from http://www.wysota.eu.org/wwwidgets/. When I installed this pack to Qt 5.0.2 it installs without errors but its plugins are not installed in the Qt Designer. If anyone successfully installed the package for Qt 5.0.2 please provide me with instructions on how to do it.

I guess you'll have to compile Qt5, QT Creator & Plugins, wwWidgets from source, using the same options for all of them. Qt designer silently flushes plugins that are not compiled in the same manner than designer itsself.

Nuget for Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.0.0 not available?

We are facing memory leak with ConfigurationRoot. Looking at this thread, it's now been fixed:
https://github.com/aspnet/Extensions/issues/861
This requires us to upgrade to Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.0.0
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions/
But, I am not able to locate Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.0.0 nuget anywhere. Any idea where I can find this?
Microsoft.NETCore.App is a metapackage, which references all commonly used library for an .NET Core application. Install a new .NET SDK Runtime on the target system.
The version will still be 3.0.0, but when you run the application it will roll-forward to the newest patch version.
If its an self-contained application (vs. portable application which requires a .NET Core runtime installed on target system), then update the SDK on the build system and recompile your application to cause build system putting the latest .NET Core artefacts in the publish directory.

'Forms' is not a member of 'Windows'

I tried to change the Target Framework on my app recently from .NET Framework 4.5 to 4.5.2, but if I do I get the following error when trying to build: "'Forms' is not a member of 'Windows'" (that is, System.Windows.Forms). Changing to 4.5.1 works normally. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.
I had this error when changing to 4.5.2.
In my case the error was related to a MessageBox ... I replaced: "Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes" (which caused the same error message) with "System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes" which did the trick.
I had the same problem, me too with Windows.Forms.DialogResult enumeration values.
The project automatically imports System and System.Windows.Forms namespaces and worked fine up to 4.5.1.
In 4.5.2 I had to remove Windows.Forms. and just leave DialogResult.Ok (or whatever else) in my code, it seems to be a problem with namespaces resolution.
Make sure that you add System in front of the Windows.Form.
I ran into this with an application still targeted to .NET 4.0, where it failed on one (new) build server, but ran on my older ones.
I narrowed it down to the .NET 4.0 Targeting Pack only being installed on the old build servers. Targeting pack is included in Visual Studio, or the Windows 7.1 SDK. It is for some reason not distributed separately, and with support ending for .NET 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1, I don't suspect this is likely to change. Because my older servers have been around a couple years, they've gone through in-place upgrades and so had the targeting pack already.
When you install Windows 7.1 SDK on Server 2012R2, it complains something to the effect of "A pre-release version of .NET 4 is installed, please install the RTM version". As far as I can tell, it's simply because a newer version) is installed -- Server 2012R2 comes with 4.5.1. I tried to uninstall all newer versions, but was unable to get the SDK to install the targeting pack.
So to install:
Download the Windows 7.1 SDK ISO image
Unzip it
Run Setup\MTPack\netfx_dtp.msi EXTUI=1
You should now have a %programfiles(x86)%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\ folder with the 4.0 stuff.
(EXTUI=1 bypasses the restriction that it can't be installed separately).
This allowed me to compile projects still targeting 4.0 (or re-build old revisions/branches that were targeting it at the time).

TeamCity can't build a portable/custom targeted library

I have a solution with a core library that is portable, targeted at Windows Store, .NET 4.5 and Windows Phone 8.0
This project will not build via TeamCity.
[12:31:36][GetReferenceAssemblyPaths] C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(983, 5): warning MSB3644: The reference assemblies for framework ".NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. Note that assemblies will be resolved from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and will be used in place of reference assemblies. Therefore your assembly may not be correctly targeted for the framework you intend.
Is this a known problem or do I have to install something?
Install the Windows Phone SDK. Although the portable library offer's a bunch of platforms to be commonly compatible with, it still needs the relevant SDKs installed.

I am using monodevelop and I am getting a "framework mono/.NET 4.0 not installed" error when I try to build

The fun part is, I do have .NET 4.0 installed, as well as all GTK#. I thought maybe I installed it in the wrong order or something ridiculous, so I uninstalled and re-installed everything. I even tried installing plain old mono, and then installing monodevelop, but I still get that same error.
IIRC MonoDevelop 2.4 had a bug that prevented it targeting the final released version of .NET 4.0. The fix should be in MonoDevelop 2.4.1.
As a workaround, assuming you installed Mono 2.8 (which has 4.0 support), you can change your target runtime to Mono instead of .NET. Either
Change the default using the Tools -> Options menu, then the .NET Runtimes panel
or
Change the target of the current project using the Project->Target Runtime menu.
you could easily change the framework under which tyour application is running to allow MonoDevelop build your's successfully by doing the following:
open menu "Project"
choose Application options
from "General" tab, change the "Target framework" to be "Mono / .NET x"

kdevelop 4.0 : No project Templates

I have just installed kdevelop 4.0 on my Ubuntu machine and found that there are very few project templates (all are Qt related). I am not a qt developer and the previous versions of kdevelop had a lot of project templates. I am not sure how to get general C and C++ GTK templates.
A Screenshot from a older version of kdevelop: http://www.euclideanspace.com/software/language/cpp/kdevelop/kd2.gif
If you are using ubuntu, try installing the kapptemplate package. It doesn't contain as many templates as kdevelop 3 but many more than the predefined.
just execute this command and you will have some new templates
sudo apt-get install kapptemplate
At this time there are no general C or C++ GTK templates in KDevelop 4.
