How do you build makeqpf?

JRMcLaurin

Hello All,

How do you generate the makeqpf binary on Mac OS using Qt 5.4? I've tried building with ./configure -make tools, but that doesn't do it.

Thanks!!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can use

qmake qttools/src/makeqpf/
make
make install

And you should be good to go

Thanks for the reply. When I run 'qmake qttools/src/makeqpf/', I get the following error:

Project ERROR: Project has no top-level .qmake.conf file.

I'm suspicious that I'm still not running the right command from the right place. When I run qmake from the qttools/src/makeqpf directory, it isn't able to find the internal Qt objects that makeqpf depends on.

Thanks again!!

Then first build the module once

@SGaist I'm also having trouble with this. Initially I ran into the "Project ERROR: Project has no top-level .qmake.conf file." problem described above but I was able to get around that by running the qmake command from within the src directory instead of from my separate build directory where I was running it from.

However, I am now getting this error:

In file included from qttools/src/makeqpf/main.cpp:36:0:
qttools/src/makeqpf/qpf2.h:37:39: fatal error: private/qfontengine_qpf_p.h: No such file or directory
 #include <private/qfontengine_qpf_p.h>

I searched the entire source tarball for that file and it does not exist. Is this tool not supported in 5.4?

SGaist

Which exact version of Qt 5.4 ?

Chad Barbe

@SGaist downloaded today, so 5.4.1:

http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.1/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1.tar.gz

SGaist

Then the build fix are more recent than that, the best thing to do is get the module directly with git

Chad Barbe

@SGaist Thank you!!!!

SGaist

You're welcome

For anyone having trouble with this, I was able to build makeqpf using a stock Qt 4.8 source download. Like Chad says, as of 5.4.1, the project depends on files that don't exist in the source tree...
