[SOLVED] Barcode example that doesn't work in Qt 5

franrok

I'm trying to develop a Qt application that writes and reads barcodes. After googling a lot, I came across with this "example":http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/index.php?title=EAN-13_Barcode_class but after changing some includes in Qt Creator 5.2, It doesn't work.

What do I have to do? How can I do so that it works? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please provide more details: What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? What error messages do you get?

Simply I try to replicate that example in Qt Creator. I work on Qt 5.2 and Windows XP. Name of my project ean13 and I get the following output:

Hi,

you said you changed some includes: assuming you used exactly the code in your example (please provide your code if it is not the case), what did you change exactly? What is the content of your .pro file or whatever you're using to build your code?

JKSH

Please provide the information that tilsitt requested.

Also, try this: Delete the folders E:/Qt/laboratorio/build-ean13-Desktop_Qt_5_2_1_MinGW_32bit-Release and E:/Qt/laboratorio/build-ean13-Desktop_Qt_5_2_1_MinGW_32bit-Debug. Then, compile again.

Sorry for my delay!. And Thanks so much for your disposition. Here I put what tilsitt requested (I only change some includes and the code is the same as in the example):

You're using QWidget in your code, but you're compiling your code without gui and widgets modules. I guess your .pro file and you main.cpp were generated with QtCreator using the console application template? Remove the line 9 in the project file which disable the gui module. In the line 7, add gui and widgets in the QT variable to enable the modules. In your main.cpp file, change the QCoreApplication to QApplication.

It worked. Thanks so much, tilsitt!! Must I change this post to "solved" now? How?

tilsitt

Yes, you should. Edit this thread's first post and prefix the title with [solved].
