[SOLVED]QT5 unable to build MySQL driver under ubuntu

mbnoimi

The solution of this issue is by calling qmake as absolute path because it was using Qt4's qmake.

The system show you that you havn't Qt plugin for MySQL (you have SQLite) so try to build your own Qt MySQL plugin from https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtsql/sql-driver.html#qmysql

PS
I suppose you're using Qt5

anubhav87

Yes I am using Qt5

Try to use the mentioned steps above and don't forget to read documentation page I've linked it to you :)

Hi,
I am running below mentioned command

qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro
make

but it is saying
Cannot find file: mysql.pro

where will i get mysql.pro

mbnoimi

Where you've installed Qt5 on your machine?

anubhav87

My Home Folder (Linux Mint 14.0)

anubhav87

But i am still struggling with mysql.pro file where is this

mbnoimi

OK, try to do the following (considering installation directory is /home/usename/Qt5.0.2):

@usename@usename-pc ~ $ sudo apt-get install tasksel
usename@usename-pc ~ $ sudo tasksel install LAMP
usename@usename-pc ~ $ sudo tasksel install libmysqlclient-dev
usename@usename-pc ~ $ cd /home/usename/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql
usename@usename-pc ~ $ /home/usename/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro
usename@usename-pc ~ $ make
usename@usename-pc ~ $ make install@

First of all, Could you please put the log inside code format.

give me the output of the following:
@cd ~
find ./ -name "mysql.pro"@

anubhav87

I find query.txt located on my desktop it gives the correct location but for mysql.pro it return nothing

username@username ~ $ find ./ -name "query.txt"
./Desktop/query.txt
username@username ~ $ find ./ -name "mysql.pro"
username@username ~ $

It seems that you didn't install Qt into your home directory. Try to run find where Qt installed.

anubhav87

Below is the path where i have installed my qt
/home/myusername/Qt5.0.0

mbnoimi

Try to download recent Qt installer (currently 5.0.2) , through installation wizard choose all available components (it has Qt' source code). Then:

@cd ~
find ./ -name “mysql.pro”@
