[solved] Glib libgpod mac os x Compile error
-
then run
@pkg-config --list-all | grep glib@
To see whether it knows about any glib installed
-
Output of pkg-config --list-all | grep glib:
gio-unix-2.0 GIO unix specific APIs - unix specific headers for glib I/O library
taglib_c TagLib C Bindings - Audio meta-data library (C bindings)
gio-2.0 GIO - glib I/O library
glib-2.0 GLib - C Utility Library
taglib TagLib - Audio meta-data library -
So it's likely a path problem. What you can do is close Qt Creator, and call
@open your_project.pro@
from the command line, that should start Qt Creator with the additional paths setup you might have for your command line. If it doesn't work, remove the your_project.pro.user file after having closed Qt Creator, and call open again
-
Still the same issue. It cannot even parse the .pro file now. Below is my .pro file:
@QT += core gui
greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
TARGET = tesrre
TEMPLATE = appSOURCES += main.cpp
mainwindow.cppHEADERS += mainwindow.h
FORMS += mainwindow.ui
CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += glib-2.0INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/gpod-1.0/gpod
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.38.2/include/glib-2.0LIBS += /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.38.2/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib
LIBS +=/usr/local/lib/libgpod.4.dylib@Tired adding PKG_CONFIG_PATH+=/usr/local/Cellar/pkg-config/0.28/bin
into qmake additional arguments, and also added a new variable under system environment but did not change anything. -
What do you mean by "It cannot even parse the pro file" ?
glib-2.0 should be handled by pkg-config so no need for any other setup.@LIBS += -L /usr/local/lib -lgpod@
Is more likely for gpod
-
I mean that I cannot click the green build and run icon, as it says it cannot parse .pro file.
gpod was fine before the way i had added it and if i comment out :
@CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += glib-2.0@then it parses fine. But I have commented out the gpod bit for now just to make sure, and still the same.
All I have added to the .pro file now is:
@CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += glib-2.0@If I open in qt creator 3. then it still has the parse issue , but says:
Project ERROR: Package glib-2.0 not found
-
Do you have several Qt Creator installed ?
-
Then you have your Qt 5.1.1 Qt Creator starting and this one can't handle 5.2.
Try calling open with -b /Path/to/Your/5.2/Qt Creator.app
-
I tried
open tesrre.pro -b /Users/tom/Qt5.2.0/QtCreator.app
And get:
LSGetApplicationForInfo() failed with error -10814 while trying to determine the application with bundle identifier /Users/tom/Qt5.2.0/QtCreator.app.
-
Sorry, my bad, it's -a
-
I have uninstalled all versions of Qt , and reinstalled from the latest 5.2.1
Created a new application and tried again. Now it is asking me for glib2-development package.
Cannot find this on homebrew and no where to compile from source. So have just installed Macports and now installed glib2-devel. seems like it just installed the same files that were already present with the homebrew port, with some documentation.
Still not working and error saying:
Project ERROR: glib-2.0 development package not found
-
You might need to add /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH
-
I think the PKG_CONFIG_PATH is fine as it is now seeing glib-2.0 , but is now asking for development package.
After installing with macports doing pkg config --list-all shows the same as before , so think the development package has not installed.
Not really sure what I am supposed to see after installing it.
Do you know a better way of installing? -
Do you have something like
@export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH@
in your .profile file ?
-
Yeah just added something similar to my .profile . It contains the following:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATHStill the same. Tried launching from terminal again.
Funny, I have tried on a ubuntu install and it just works. Was amazed at how easy it was.
-
Did you source the file before testing ? Otherwise the changes won't take effect
-
No , I did not know about that. Just tried but the same.
Just found the follwing page, which has helped a bit:
"sing-pkg-config-with-qt-creator-qmake-on-mac-osx":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16972066/using-pkg-config-with-qt-creator-qmake-on-mac-osx
Basically I have added the following to my .pro file:
@QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config@
So now I have :
@QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config
CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += libgpod-1.0 taglib@This however will only work if I launch the project from within terminal.
There are suggestions of fixes for Qt Creator , but none of them seem to work. -
I personally always start Qt Creator from the command line to ensure that it will have the environment set by .profile
