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

[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.

[SGaist]

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.

[k_arnaud]

Hi SGaist,
i have a PostgreSQL 32bit installed. I try to instal an ohter, but the installer wizard doesn't allow me to choose my own directory, it updates the older which is in C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL... about to the error log, i don't know to post it. i think this site doesn't allow uploaded picture from computer ("i've printed my screen which shows the cmd with the error log")

[clochydd]

You should uninstall your old version first and you can post a picture, too, if you use DropBox or similar. It's described "here: ":http://qt-project.org/wiki/ForumHelp#b642e0c67b7a32cc0b833ea119693dce

[k_arnaud]

ok, thanks ! i built the plugin(the problem was from the old version of my PostgreSQL, i couldn't edit the .h file you talked about).now the new issue is that i get this error message "The specified path was not found" when i enter copy release\libqsqlpsql.a QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH... just a precision: those files are in C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\Src\qtbase\plugins\sqldrivers and i think they have just been created.the modification date is today on 3 pm

[clochydd]

The plugins are built in directories release and debug. I suggest to search for these directories and if you find the newly created DLLs there copy these to QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH. If there are issues again please post your environment (set > env.txt) and your error messages
