QCA-build for Win32 for PGP
-
Hi All,
I have installed @Qt latest with Qt creator 2.6.1 (Qt 5.0.0).
I am successfully creating any projects with it, I have a project where I need to use PGP and found out an implementation is there for it
from (@qca) http://delta.affinix.com/qca/ that I think was going to be very easy to use as I have always been a Visual Studio user but never used @Qt.
now when I have downloaded the latest source of qca and run configure the following error appearsC:\SDK>cd C:\SDK\qca-2.0.3\qca-2.0.3
C:\SDK\qca-2.0.3\qca-2.0.3>configure
Configuring Qt Cryptographic Architecture (QCA) ...
Verifying Qt 4 build environment ... failReason: Unable to find the 'qmake' tool for Qt 4.
Be sure you have a proper Qt 4.0 build environment set up. This means not
just Qt, but also a C++ compiler, a make tool, and any other packages
necessary for compiling C++ programs.If you are certain everything is installed, then it could be that Qt 4 is not
being recognized or that a different version of Qt is being detected by
mistake (for example, this could happen if %QTDIR% is pointing to a Qt 3
installation). At least one of the following conditions must be satisfied:- --qtdir is set to the location of Qt
- %QTDIR% is set to the location of Qt
This program will use the first one it finds to be true, checked in the above
order.is there any guide to building and integrating qca with qt?
regards
sid. -
welcome to devnet
As I see it, it is a problem of the QCA configure and not a Qt issue.
My assumption is that might build with higher than the expected Qt4.2 as long as it is Qt4.
With Qt5 you might have to check with the QCA guys, or you need to see what has to be changed in QCA configure. -
thanks! I have posted to their list, let's see what they come up with, mean while will keep exploring Qt for creation of a good UI.
-
You could still use Qt4 as a starter when QCA cannot react fast enough.
-
It is possible to compile QCA and its plugins with qt5 using
this path https://github.com/psi-plus/main/blob/master/patches/dev/qca_qt5.patch
and this QConf https://github.com/psi-plus/qconfPS use --verbose when you running configure to see detail log
-
You have to make sure configure.exe uses windows cmd shell, if it finds sh.exe in your path if will use that as its shell and configure will fail. In order to force configure to use cmd shell, remove any path you have pointing to sh.exe from your %PATH% environment variable and retry.

thanks for the help, I am really not very much into the build system like that have always been working with more likely Visual Studio ( I tried to get the patch but I don't understand how to make the patch to qca)
following is the output of the

You need to run all commands from Visual Studio Command Prompt (Link is in the Start -> Programs -> Visual Studio).
May need to first build QConf from source to link I gave above.

This is wrong. Should be something like this

Try to build QConf previously:
- Download patched QConf https://github.com/psi-plus/qconf
- Build it.
- Copy qconf.exe, qconf.exe.embed.manifest (not sure), conf (directory) to ./QCA (root)
- Run "qconf" in ./QCA. It should create configure.exe and configure files.
Then try again.
PS I might forget something specify.

Hi again
I was able to build the qconf from source.
C:\SDK\qca-2.0.3\qca-2.0.3>qconf
Project name: Qt Cryptographic Architecture (QCA)
Profile: qca.pro
Deps: qt42* buildmode* buildmode_framework* universal* extra* certstore*'configure' written.
'configure.exe' written.and run it but it is still giving the same error, and to be understanding actually I still haven't been able to apply the patch that you mentioned earlier for qca
https://github.com/psi-plus/main/blob/master/patches/dev/qca_qt5.patchI have downloaded the patch application and git as well, configured patch in qt creator but unable to patch it (is that the reason for the errors that I am getting)
can you please point me to some place where I can see the method of patching the project. -
I see that you try to patch version from archive. Can you try to patch lastest version from svn?
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/qca
The patch was written for this version.When I build QCA I can't patch it by GIT too. I used TortoiseSVN to patch it. Just open right-click menu of the directory where svn-checkout is and select TortoiseSVN->Apply patch. Then select qt5.patch downloaded by GIT.

Hi again!
I was into the UI work and found out a limitation there as well so I have moved to now Qt 4.8 with Qt Creator 2.6.1, tried to build the qca 2.0.3 with the same commands did not make any patch to it and at the end it turns out to be the error is kind of same.EX_QTDIR=

Set QTDIR environment path and then check.
Please check Installwin batch file this searches for QTDIR env variable.
