Installation and Deployment

Looks like this is still an issue. I installed QT creator 2.0.94 Can someone tell me how I can install examples after, if they did not come as part of the package? Thanks.

Thanks a lot ... I'll try it :) Where could you find this link ?

I recommend adding the Qt manually in the settings dialog. This works without having Qt in any of the PATH variables. This is the way I use since the very first preview release of Creator :-) I never had a "Qt in PATH" in use.

[quote author="sigrid" date="1305010321"]bq. Thank you very much for your reply. I put the libmysql.dll to my executable file folder and it is now working. But I wonder why it dosen’t work when I put it in D:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw\bin, where this path is in system environment variable PATH. This seems to be caused by the following bug: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18003 where the qtvars.bat overrides the global PATH and causes your modifications to the PATH to be ignored.[/quote] Thanks again for all your help!

Hello Andreas, thank you. I agree with your logic. If you provide a code it maybe useful, else I can use one of the very basic examples that are included in the Qt everywhere. To work in a correct test environment, I think that the best solution is that I prepare a VM with Ubuntu 10.04 and install only the Qt. Ltib is working and the linux is running on the arm, so we can exclude this aspect, at least for now. My doubt is if in the fresh installation of Qt everywhere on a new clean host machine, I need to install also the compiler or if the toolchaing of Qt includes also this. Please let me know what I should install with Qt everywhere on the host linux machine. Thank you. Enrico

Thank you I will give it a shot!

Thanks, it works now. Sadly I encountered another problem. I can compile and run the examples shipping with the SDK, but when I open my own project (which comes from Windows) a window pops up saying bq. No valid Qt-versions could be found. Please add a valid version at extras/settings or by using the sdk-installation-utility. (I freely translated this text). For some reasons I can't change any setting at all (all of them are greyed out). All I can do is close the project.

See the instructions "here":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins

OK. Glad you got it sorted. Happy coding!

Thanks for the answer. I can scratch that reason for my program unable to run the device!

Thank you very much. And yes, I'm a living example of that need. There should be a link to the offline installer in the downloads page.

I think, this is related to this "recent forum thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5702, please have a look and feel free to come back with questions over there. The base line is: For the SDK I think you're lost then. You'll have to install the components manually. Qt Creator should work (it's an i386 + x86_64 universal binary), and Qt libs would have to be compiled manually.

I just ran two configure sessions for Qt 4.7.3, and all went without any problems. Setup: Installed Qt Creator 2.2.0 downloaded qt-everywhere-commercial-src-4.7.3.tar.gz (the open source should be fairly identical, except of licensing files) extract the archive cd into the extracted directory ran .\configure.exe in Visual Studio 2008 command prompt opened cmd.exe, put C:\Qt\qtcreator-2.2.0\mingw\bin into PATH and ran .\configure.exe -platform win32-g++ -qconfig minimal No hassles with missing perl (it is not installed!) in both cases, no call of syncqt.

For the records: https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/installer-framework I had a quick look and suspect it to be an issue with the SDK against the installer is built (located in /Developer/SDKs). But while it may be possible to create an installer binary that runs on 10.5, it would not help much, as it would install Qt libs which do not run on 10.5 reliably (namely the lrelease and lupdate binaries). This would create more trouble once the installer did run an put everything in place. So, to proceed on the SDK installer, one would need 10.5 enabled framework libraries and binaries in the first place. I'm not quite sure, if to proceed, and if yes how...

Tobias, not sure if it makes sense but when using the MinGW toolchain it might be an idea for the SDK to add the necessary lib dirs to the %PATH% environment variable. Would that screw up other stuff (e.g. creator) if the runtime linker finds the MinGW compiled Qt libs first or is it sensible enough to skip over the incomaptible dll's and keep looking elsewhere?

Hi cincirin, it's a little bit complicated for me.. Maybe I try. Thanks a lot.

Did you add yourQtVersion/bin first to the global PATH in your Control Panel/System/ Advanced System Settings/Environment Variables? And then restart Creator after having done so?

OK, thanks, Volker.
