Installation and Deployment

The static build is failing inside of Yocto. All I have done to get this to fail is to change -shared to -static inside of qtbase.bb and then $ bitbake meta-toolchain-qt5. Building Qt dynamically will successfully create the SDK, but not statically. I have found someone with the exact same problem here. The plugin lib directory path is incorrect and has the cross compile prefix omitted causing problems finding the necessary libraries. I've posted my build environment and error output here.

Hi, What about submitting your work to the Qt project ?

@koahnig I am using 2.0.1

I have not used IFW, but have you seen this page and this page ? Also, this example may provide some help. Paul

@SGaist Thank you for your advice. I will definitely take note of it. Johnathon

Since the patch has already been integrated you can also build from the current 5.5 branch from git

Thank you very much. I forgot to install OpenGL libraries. Now it works, thanks.

At last I got it to work. The parameter "/reg:64" passed to reg.exe makes it do what it's told. I just hope this won't mess things up on a 32bit windows. So, that needs to be component.addElevatedOperation("Execute",reg, "ADD",key, "/reg:64" ,"/v","@TargetDir@\\maintenancetool.exe","/t","REG_SZ","/d","~ RUNASADMIN", "/f");

Hi, welcome to devnet. The installation is ok. If you look closely it happens in a file that is a test for an xml bomb, so yeah, it's intended.

@SGaist Thanks, that answers my question.

Hi, Looks like chromium hit something similar with webp. You should go to the bug report system and check wether it's something know, if not please consider opening a new report

According to this bug report, this happens when gdbserver is run on a non-existent debuggee https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18405 How can I check this? In qt creator, under options, devices, ubuntu-target test, I see the connection to the target ubuntu machine is OK: I get the following output: Connecting to host... Checking kernel version... Linux 3.19.0-15-generic i686 Checking if specified ports are available... All specified ports are available. Device test finished successfully. Under optons-build&run,kits,ubuntu-target I don have sysroot. Can this be a problem? Name: ubuntu-target Device type: generic linux device Device: ubuntu-target (default for generic device) sysroot: Compiler: GCC (x86 32 bit in /usr/bin) Debugger: System GDB at /usr/bin/gdb Qt version: Qt 5.4.1 in PATH (qt5) Kind regards, cedric

That's a bit of a strange question, you want GUI within a console application ?

Many thanks @Wieland, but my problem is with the installer script (sorry for not having explained before (-_-)). The application is fine according to the customer feedback. Am trying to check the existence of previous installations and if so, check which version is installed. For this, I have created a registry entry containing the application path and installed version, but I don´t know how to compare the current installation version with the previously installed one. Thanks in advance.

Hi Phil - Did you ever get the Examples to show up in Creator? I just installed 5.5 on windows (first day with Qt but experienced with several other IDEs) and there are no Examples showing up when I click on Welcome > Examples. Also the dropdown at the top of the main panel is empty. I installed qt-opensource-windows-x86-winrt-5.5.0. I chose a different directory than the suggested default and can see the files for the Examples. I wonder what I need to change or add to get Creator to see the Examples it came with. Thanks for anything.

I think, that it is hardly related to the OpenCV lib, as this problem does not occur when using this library in Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010. The main reason I do not use MinGW - as OpenCV library contain files for VS2010 (the version of the library I use - is 2.4.9 - with the support of VS2010). The version of Qt - 5.4.2/5.5.0 that support MSVC 2010.
