Sourcing .bashrc from .profile not working

I have many environment variables set with 'export' in my ~/.bashrc. My .profile sources my .bashrc with

source /home/doriad/.bashrc

However, QtCreator doesn't seem to know about these environment variables. If, instead, I put the exports directly in the .profile, QtCreator has them correctly. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong here?

Solution

  • Thanks for providing you .profile and .bashrc. Most probably this is the cause found in your .bashrc:

    # If not running interactively, don't do anything
case $- in
    *i*) ;;
      *) return;;
esac

    In non-interactive mode, your .bashrc will just return, skipping any export below that.
