How can i clone or branch off the repo. Because there is no button on this page.

This should cover it.

SGaist

The links are on the summary page. Otherwise that's basic git

git clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git
cd qtconnectivity
git checkout wip/win

@kshegunov
I took git setup and installed.
@SGaist
I tried but gave me permission error:

$ git clone http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/tree/
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'tree': Permission denied

Thanks for your helping guys.

SGaist

Retry by copying the git command I wrote.

ideadesigner

@SGaist Same answer from Git with your URL

kuzulis

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git

SGaist

Because you added tree again at the end ? Don't do it, just clone the git repository.

ideadesigner

@kuzulis I tried your URL in different computer and no problem.
@SGaist No, I didn't add the 'tree'. I think the problem is 'https://' because 'git://' is worked.

SGaist

Strange… Anyway, the essential part is that you got the module and can continue to hack :)

@ideadesigner @SGaist

I may be absolutely wrong and please correct me if I am, but I think https requires (gerrit) authentication to work ...

kuzulis

requires (gerrit) authentication to work

yes

ideadesigner

I can't understand, at my pc, 'git bash' gave me same error with 'git://...'.

$ git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'qtconnectivity': Permission denied

SGaist

Permission denied ? Do you have write permission in the folder you're trying to clone in ?

ideadesigner

@SGaist I see. I understood my fault.
I worked respectively in pictures,
1.Wrong folder

2.Changed my folder

3.Changed my branch

4.Opened the qt project file and ran the btscanner example

5.Still same answer

kuzulis

Still same answer

You should re-build && re-install QtConnectivity from the wip/win branch: make && make install, and only then try to use examples.

PS: A good idea it is cleanup all existing QtBluetooth stuff from your Qt-installed directory, before making-installing of wip/win branch.

ideadesigner

I couldn't do it :) I will make it later, for now I am going to make my android app. So, I don't make bluetooth app on windows for a while. Thanks for your help. @kuzulis @SGaist

@SGaist I tried the same steps, however, on trying to build it got the following error " C:/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.7/bluetooth/qtconnectivity/examples/bluetooth/picturetransfer/picturetransfer.pro is lacking an install target." Could you please advise. Thanks

SGaist

Hi,

That's a bug that should have been fixed for the next release.
