Bug Description
Description:
When starting QtCreator everytime I get the error message that ClangFormat Plugin cannot be loaded.
Initial Situation:
a) Plugin ClangFormat is activated in a previous session.
b) Alternatively try to activate the plugin and click on error messages.
Expected behaviour:
Plugin is loaded
Actual behaviour:
Window opens with the message "Initialization of plugin failed: Disabling ClangFormat plugin as it has not been built against a modified Clang's libFormat."
Cause:
I did some research and found that this error message is misleading.
The true issue is that the library "libClangFormat.so" was not included in the package (or was not build).
Extra Information:
As I use this plugin in my projects work it is essentiell to have it included in the qtcreator distribution. It is important to improve code stability within my projects.
I have recently switched from official QtCreator distribution (which includes this plugin) and was surprised on this error on such a basic plugin.
Platform:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x86_64
