Improvements to QtCreator docs #13
Conversation
* Added cache * Switched to using CodeBlocs - Ninja (fixed by having /usr/local/bin in path) Other small docs tweaks.

@dakcarto thanks for applying my PR - sorry for not replying to all of the various comments from you and @m-kuhn. I'll also continue making tweaks as we go. I still miss a make install section so that it moves the .app bundles into ~/Applications (some of the instructions for PyCharm). I will be getting @ismailsunni and @lucernae to run through these notes over the next week or two so we can validate the whole process top to bottom and fix any holes. @m-kuhn Thanks for your notes about build dir - I agree with @dakcarto in this case though because having an easy build path makes things a lot easier if you are trying to use that path from other tools / scripts. Worst of all QtCreator puts spaces in the path which is :-( ...

| CCache will cache previously compiled objects and greatly speed up the compilation process. We will make an alias for compiling c++ sources. Make sure you did ``brew install ccache`` when you were installing your dependencies further up in this document: |

I'd strip the "when you were..." part. After all, if you haven't done it back then, you should do it now.

Another nice round of improvements 👍 |
I think @dakcarto 's approach was a bit different to both of ours and will not involve cli intervention but a configuration change in QtCreator and override the (apparently bad) default choice with spaces etc. |

Hi @timlinux and @m-kuhn. I worked quite a bit on this yesterday, up to the Install section. I specifically left out graphics, until the work is done. Sorry, I forgot to cross-reference it in the other PR before calling it a day. It is in a separate branch tutorial-qtcreator. If you want I can move it to a PR, so we can discuss and compare/contrast as needed. |

@m-kuhn Ah ok thanks - sorry I had missed that option.
Cool it looks like you made a PR now - I updated mine to use Python 3.6. Feel free to just apply yours if your changes are preferable to mine. |
