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

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.

k_arnaud

sorry i can't. "qmake is not a command line", that is the error message when i try to buld with CMD-window. But when i try with the the "qt-cmd" i get the same error message "recipe..."

clochydd

must be a wrong path, too:
your_qt_path is something like C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1 and
qmake.exe is located in your_qt_path\mingw48_32\bin
so you must start qmake by:
your_qt_path\mingw48_32\bin\qmake “INCLUDEPATH+=%POSTGRES32%\include” “LIBS+=%POSTGRES32%\lib\libpq.lib” psql.pro

when this task is done, you will continue with:
mingw32-make debug
mingw32-make release

k_arnaud

here is the error message when i did what you said : cannot find file psql.pro.
that file is not in the qmake.exe directory so when i enter cd C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\mingw48_32\bin\qmake “INCLUDEPATH+=%POSTGRES32%\include” “LIBS+=%POSTGRES32%\lib\libpq.lib” psql.pro, i get an error message

clochydd

the psql.pro is in the sources, in the plugin\sqldrivers directory (see above cd QT_SRC_PATH\src\plugins\sqldrivers\psql)
you should start your qmake from THIS directory, not from the ...bin dir!

k_arnaud

When i try to start qmake there, i get an error message "qmake is not a command line..."

clochydd

Do you call qmake with the complete path:
C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\mingw48_32\bin\qmake
remember to use the path for your machine - maybe you have to modify slightly

k_arnaud

always the same error "recipe for target 'debug' failed"

clochydd

You must be sure, that all pathnames are correct and the commands are called from the right directories.

k_arnaud

about "Program~2", for my system it is Program Files (x86). what shall i use ?

clochydd

This follows the 8.3 format, a relict from DOS-times. I think you should use the same name but you can test it in the command window with cd.

k_arnaud

both work, so i will use Program Files (x86)

clochydd

Hi k_arnaud, you only need the 8.3 format if you have problems with building the plugins - as Windows may refuse to work with spaces in the pathnames.
Did you succeed in building your plugin now?

k_arnaud

Hi Clochydd, sorry i can't build the plugin. idon't know where the issue is from, thanks for the time you've spent on this thread

clochydd

You are welcome! Shall we start another analysis of your problem?
Will you post the the last error messages?

k_arnaud

Hi Clochydd,
always the same error message "recipe....failed",
maybe i forgot something... but there's no configuration when you instal Qt

clochydd

Hi k_arnaud, I will try to find more possible reasons for the message and come back with some new support.

Currently, avoid spaces in path to libraries when developing. Or use the 8.3 names (you can check which one is correct using sir /x in a cmd prompt). To be on the safe side, reinstall PostgreSQL in a path without spaces. That will eliminate one possible source of problems. If the build fails again, then post the error log, it might give the clue to what you are missing.

Also, ensure that you have a 32bit version of PostgreSQL installed since you are using the 32bit MinGW package.
