[SOLVED]can't find the "src" directory to build my QPSQL driver

clochydd

Then you can only use this tutorial as a very rough guide as you do not work with the 32-Bit mingw, too.

Hi Clochydd Clochydd
i downloaded PostgreSQL 32 bit and i tried to follow what you've written. but i can't undersdands the #7, when you say . " Modify PATH:
set QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.2.0\5.2.1\mingw48_32\plugins\sqldrivers
set QT_SRC_PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\Src\qtbase
set POSTGRES32=C:\Progra~2\PostgreSQL\9.3 (USE Progra~2 FOR Programs(86x)!)" and more of the following

when you asked me to run the .exe installed in Qt installed dir, did you mean Qt creator ? if not which .exe i should run ? thanks

clochydd

Hi k_arnaud,
sorry, I made a mistake: It should read "Modify environment" as the variables have to be added. You should set these entries in the CMD-window and have a look at the correct paths - relating to your system.

k_arnaud

ok, but when you said run the .exe, do you mean Qt creator ?

clochydd

I'm sorry but I do not understand. What do you mean with run the .exe?

k_arnaud

about the #11 i've installed Qt with msvc2010 not mingw32

clochydd

If you have installed with msvc2010 you cannot work with the 32-Bit postgres. I never worked with msvc2010.

k_arnaud

ok i'll try with mingw32. thanks

Hi Clochydd, i've downloaded Qt with mingw32...
About the #11 here is the error message i get: "cannot find file psql.pro"

clochydd

Hi k_arnaud, the message says that the project file for building the plugin cannot be found.
Did you go to the plugins directory:
8. cd QT_SRC_PATH\src\plugins\sqldrivers\psql
If so, does the psql.pro exist here?

k_arnaud

after entering mingw32-make debug , in the unreadable message i get, i can see makefile:48: recipe for target 'debug' failed and i get the same with release

clochydd

You should check your pathnames again - it seems that dependencies cannot be found. If you cannot find a fault: What is the unreadable message?

k_arnaud

may be the problem is from here QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.2.0\5.2.1\mingw48_32\plugins\sqldrivers i don't know wehter i should replace "QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH" with anything

clochydd

Hi k_arnaud, with "set QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.2.0\5.2.1\mingw48_32\plugins\sqldrivers" you create the environment-variable QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH, which you need later (#12.). Where appropriate you must modify the path itself - according to your system.
These variables are for your comfort - you may use the complete pathname instead.

k_arnaud

that is what i did, i entered QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.2.0\5.2.1\mingw48_32\plugins\sqldrivers in the CMD-windows without any change

clochydd

maybe a silly question: did you enter "set QTSDK..." and is that visible in your environment if you type SET in the cmd?

k_arnaud

No, i ca'nt see that

clochydd

But - do you use SET to bring it to the environment?

k_arnaud

i tried again, and i can see the three variables; QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH, QT_SRC_PATH and
POSTGRES32

clochydd

are you able to build the plugin now? You should not see the "recipe" message again.
