Change existing Netbeans C++ project to Qt Application - c++

I have an existing Netbeans C++ project I want to change to a Netbeans Qt- Application. Is there an easy way to do it or do I have to reimport all my classes?

I do not know of any way to change a netbeans project after it is created. I would just make a new Qt application project. Then you can right click on the project name and choose "add existing items from folders...". That will allow you to import a whole folder of code files at one time. I would copy all the code out of the old project folder and into the new project folder before adding them, so the project code is all at the same place. Hope this helps.

Qt creator - simply show a working folder without creating extra Qt files

I have a makefile C/C++ project which multiple people are working on. I want to use Qt as an IDE because I really like the ease of autocompletion and links to declarations etc. However, it seems that I can't just open a working directly in Qt - I have to import or create a new project.
When creating a new project by importing an existing project, Qt creates several files (I do not want this), and when a new .c file or whatever is created outside Qt it is not shown in Qt.
Does someone have a solution to this?
You have to import your project as you are already doing.
You can ignore the files created by Qt Creator in your .gitignore file. Here's a nice repo for the templates: https://github.com/github/gitignore
Whenever you add a new file, you can add those using Add Existing files... option by right clicking on the project name.

How can I transfer an eclipse project to a new computer?

I am new to C++ and Eclipse (with CDT plugin) and I want to transfer the small project I have written on my old computer to my new one. On the new machine, must I create a new project, new files for each corresponding file in the project, then copy and paste the source into these files, or is there a setting in Eclipse that would allow me to import the files in one go. I have been searching all of the menu items for something such as "import project" or "import files" but I cannot find anything. Is copy and paste the only solution? I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
First, create a new and empty Workspace.
Then open the File menu and select Import....
Here you'll find an option to import existing projects, which should work with the project file in your old/copied source directory.
Create project from existing source: When selected, you can specify the location from which the New Java Project Wizard will
retrieve an existing Java project. In this case the wizard will
analyze the existing project and set up the build path automatically.
Click on Browse... to browse for a location of an existing Java
project.

The easiest way is to copy the complete workspace folder.

How to add existing project into Geany

I have an existing C++ project which is built with Gnu Make. I want to develop the source under Geany but am unable find a way to import it.
I know this i a rather old question, but it was first hit on my search for the exact question. Since I have figured it out now, I wanted to give an answer for future searchers.
One should create a new project. Select a name for the project, select a location for the project file, e.g. the root of the project directory and the the root of the project directory. That's it.
But - the documents tab is confusing, so I suggest installing a file browser plugin, by selecting Tools -> Plugin Manager and then select the plugin File Browser. This adds a tab that will enable browsing the files in the project.
Hope it helps.
You don't have to import your project.
In geany go to "Project/New" and you'll be able to create a new project. Select a name for your project, select a file to save its settings and select the base directory where your source files are.
Then you'll be able to build to project with "Build/Make". It will run make within the base directory you selected. You can customise the build commands if you go to "Build/Set build commands".

“Add to project list” is grayed out in Qt Project Management dialog

I'm trying to add a new statically linked library to a Qt-based application.
I used this guide: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-snapshot/creator-project-qmake-libraries.html
But when I get to step 4, which says "In the Add to project list, select a project. For example, myapp", I'm unable to do this because the Add to project list is disabled (gray) in the Project Management dialog.
What is required for Qt Creator to recognize other projects at this point, such that they appear in the list (which would then, presumably, no longer be disabled)?
I'm working on Linux/GNU, on a PC machine.
See the post here: http://lists.qt.nokia.com/pipermail/qt-creator/2010-December/008166.html
Your "library" project and your "application" project both need to be part of a "Subdirs" project.
First, create a Subdirs project, which will contain all the individual projects for your overall project (this is like a "Solution" in Visual Studio).
Then, create your library project, by right-clicking the "subdirs" project, and selecting "New Subproject...", and then follow the instructions from the QtCreator docs, and the overall project should be available in the drop-down.
Finally (assuming you want to create a dependency from an application to your library), create your application project as a sub-project of the overall project, and then you can add your library project as an "internal library" of your application project.

How to setup a linux C++ project in Eclipse?

I have an existing C++ project on a linux environment, and would like to import it into the Eclipse IDE.
Not sure if I should start a new Eclipse C++ project, or if there was some way to import the source files?
You can create a new Eclipse C++ project "in-place", i.e. if you have your sources checked out at /home/joe/mysources, you can select that directory in the new project wizard (uncheck the "use default location" checkbox first). All your source files will show up in the Eclipse project.
one solution: just create a new C++ projet (Standard make project), checkout/copy your files in it, then right clic on the directory of the project in the ressource view and choose New > Other > C++ > Convert to C/C++ Make project.
