OpenGL Example - Cube Doesn't run

iamcreasy

added this line in the cubo.pro file,

QT += opengl

but, no change. Still, its showing 2 errors.

I am using windows 7.

This is caused by a bug in the Cube example which has already been fixed in our repository for an upcoming version. Applying the following patch should solve it for you:

@
#ifndef GEOMETRYENGINE_H
#define GEOMETRYENGINE_H

+#include <QtOpenGL/QGLFunctions>
#include <QtOpenGL/QGLShaderProgram>

-class GeometryEngine
+class GeometryEngine : protected QGLFunctions
{
public:
GeometryEngine();
@

Previous errors hasn't solved. It also says,

C:\QtSDK\Examples\4.7\opengl\cube-build-desktop..\cube\geometryengine.h:4: error: QtOpenGL/QGLFunctions: No such file or directory

Code:
@#ifndef GEOMETRYENGINE_H
#define GEOMETRYENGINE_H

#include <QtOpenGL/QGLFunctions>
#include <QtOpenGL/QGLShaderProgram>

class GeometryEngine : protected QGLFunctions
{
public:
GeometryEngine();
virtual ~GeometryEngine();

void init();

void drawCubeGeometry(QGLShaderProgram *program);

private:
void initCubeGeometry();

GLuint *vboIds;

};

#endif // GEOMETRYENGINE_H@

The qglfunctions.cpp is only available in Qt 4.8, so this example will not build against Qt 4.7, you need a Qt 4.8 snapshot to make it build. I have created a "bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-19970 for this in our Bug Tracker.

iamcreasy

Any idea when Qt 4.8 is gonna be available?

sigrid

We don't have an exact date for this yet, but you can find some information on this in the public roadmap provided "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:Developing_Qt::Qt_Planning::Qt_Public_Roadmap.

I really needed to run this example to investigate some procedures. Is there any way to run this example? :(

Sure, get a Qt 4.8 from GIT, and compile it yourself. That should work.

Hi,

Download the modified cube project in the zip here
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-24555

It worked for me.

Thank you!

I'll check it out sometime later.
