CloudCompare forum

Hi,

I'm trying to debug CC with Qt Creator, and I encounter a problem. CC[Debug] can't load plugin, and console displays CloudCompare/plugins/QDUMMY_PLUGINd.dll uses incompatible Qt library. (Cannot mix debug and release libraries.)
But the CC Release version loads plugin successfully. So I'm confused.

My configuration:
Windows 7 x64
Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition
Cmake 3.5.0
Qt 5.3.2
Qt Creator 3.6.1
CloudCompare source code 2.6.3.1

Any help will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Heath

PS: I edit code and build CC with Qt Creator, and the compiler is Visual C++ Compiler 12.0(amd64)

I don't know how Qt Creator works. How do you change the Debug/Release configuration? Do you need to create a new CMake project or do you edit the project directly in Qt Creator? If yes, then you'll probably have to change ALL projects accordingly (i.e. so that all projects - or at least the plugin you are interested in - is also compiled in Debug mode).

Thanks for your suggestion!
These are my steps when I build CC with Qt Creator :
1.Open project and select CC CMakeLists.txt
2.Qt Creator will ask you to select build directory and input arguments(e.g. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ...) 3.Configure the build steps I build CC again, but the problem was not fixed.

I use CMake-gui to generate VS project, and build CC with VS 2013 in Debug mode. Then CC[Debug] loads plugin successfully.
I can't find out the cause of the problem. So I will use VS 2013 to debug CC's plugin. :)

Thanks again!
