Today I’ve decided check out Iaitō - a frontend for the wonderful radare2. It seemed pretty neat (especially watching Hugo’s great presentation “Sweet tools o’ mine” at t2/2016) so I’ve cloned the repository, installed Qt (5.6, as suggested in the repo), installed r2 from the submodule, opened the project with Qt Creator… and stopped right there.

After running “Build” I saw an error:

r_core development package not found

If you have the same problem and did your homework, you know that’s due to the /usr/local/bin path missing in the PATH variable. This could have happened, for example, when you copied the Qt Creator.app directory over to /Applications although I haven’t done more research on that, TBH.

In order to fix that, go to the Projects tab, open Details in the Build environment section and append :/usr/local/bin to PATH (see the image below in case you have trouble finding that setting). Keep in mind that this need to be done for Debug and Release profiles separately (if I’m not mistaken; feel free to correct me otherwise).

Hopefully now it’ll be only easier ;-)

Cheers!
