Bug#834543: [qtcreator] Compiler path ignored
Package: qtcreator
Version: 4.0.3-1
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
How to reproduce: In Tools->Options->Build & Run->Compilers select gcc
and click Clone, then change the compiler path to /bin/cat. Change the
kit's compiler to the newly cloned compiler and compile some .cpp file.
Expected outcome: Qt Creator calls /bin/cat on the .cpp file.
Actual outcome: Qt Creator calls g++ on the .cpp file.
This causes a real problem when you want to compile using clang++-3.8,
because Qt Creator will always use g++ or clang++, ignoring the path set
by the user.
Workaround: Set a symlink from the file Qt Creator expects to the file
you actually want it to use. This breaks when packages are updated.
