Installation and Deployment

Hi @MWPau, By default, MSVC 2012 does not produce binaries that are compatible with Windows XP because some features were introduced in Windows Vista or later. Try the MinGW binaries instead. If that still doesn't work, your options are: Download the Qt source code and build it on Windows XP yourself, OR Upgrade your OS

Thanks. What I ended up doing (in the top level), which appears to work correctly is: git checkout 5.5.0 git pull perl init-repository -f I got the -f option from the Getting Updates section of Building Qt5 from Git I should have read that more thoroughly before posting. Thanks again! Paul

@Zlatomir Thank you

Hi, Yes, I already have a working linux (Ubunto) development station for Qt. The thing is that I was requested to prepare another development station, this time for windows. I did found some 2-3 posts in which someoone said that he did made it work, but unfortunately there is no tutorial or wiki on this. Trying to do that myself, I encounter many "challenges". At the buttom line, I still can't make it work. Regards, Ran

What is your build environment? Have you built previous versions successfully or is this your first attempt? Paul

Run configure in verbose mode to see why it is being skipped. Also, make sure QtLocation folder is there in your source directory.

The real error is printed upper in the log, it's that one that gives all the details.

Hi, Do I need to cross compile the sources (Qt 4.8.1) in windows even though I already have them cross compiled in Linux ? (can't I just copy that tree instead) I have real trouble with preparing the windows environment. It feels like inventing the wheel. I need to prepare it for windows group who does not want to "dirty" their hands with linux staff. They don't understand why this is a difficult task. In theory they are right. Qt was expected to be platform independent. Why there is no decent tutorial for that. As to GDB, I had trouble even on ubuntu with the GDB of Qt. Do you think I can use eclipse for gdb remote denugging of Qt application ? Thanks for the time, Ran

Just if someone could need it in the future, I will say how I solved this issue: my company's IT office man uninstalled the enterprise antivirus we are using I opened Qt Creator, went to the buid settings of the chosen kit in Projects, and selected the Android Build SDK under Build Android APK: this time it was filled with the installed APIs (chose android-21) I closed Qt Creator IT man re-installed the antivirus I re-opened Qt Creator and all is working fine. Also writing "adnroid list targets" in cmd is really fast (1 sec vs 17 secs). Bye everybody

You don't need to include repo. - but I suspect that would be easier for You then manually set those paths. Error is related to missing include (either path or file is missing), I don't use that widget so I can't help You but error that You are experiencing is normal include issue (path issue).

Ah that makes sense then. VirtualBox is a bit behind when coming to upgrades for windows, especially ones that aren't officially released yet. It looks like it is having problems with OpenGL again which was a problem I noticed before in my vm using qt creator. I would definitely blame virtualbox at this point. Good news is they are pretty quick to get things working well within a month of official releases. Usually they are ready before the official release.

Depending on what you need on your target it will take less time to build if you only take the modules you need.

Hi and welcome to devnet, Do you have cups installed ? On a side note, are you locked to Qt 4.6 ?

Thank you. Not that I have found or know of. I imported the original project from Netbeans. I will poke around and see if I see anything

Hi, Since you are talking about Raspberry Pi, did you cross-compile your application ?

Are you using your custom icu compilation? In that case try adding icu dlls path to system path. I have experienced the same isue while using my own icu compilation.

That helped! Thank you. I thought I've done this already.

@Paul-H. Yea, I tried, no difference
