error: QGeoLocation: No such file or directory

WhatIf

Hi,

I tried to #include <QGeoLocation> but I keep getting :

error: QGeoLocation: No such file or directory
#include <QGeoLocation>
^

The .pro includes location

QT += core gui location positioning

Why am I getting the error?

@WhatIf
What the Qt Version using?

After adding the QT+ = positioning , did u run "qmake" again?

WhatIf

Qt Creator 3.5.1

After adding QT+ = positioning, I clicked the run button.

@WhatIf

Qt Creator does not matter, Qt Version has to be minimum 5.2 to use QGeoLocation.

First try this:
After adding QT+ = positioning , you must run first qmake. Right click on the "project name" and "Run qmake" , and then build , run.

WhatIf

Based on Qt 5.5.1 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit)

I right clicked on the "project name" and "Run qmake", no problems.

When I click build, I get the same error.

@WhatIf

I don't see any error. Check all spellings correctly. I tested with the same kit Qt 5.5.1 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit). I dont have any issue.

Try to make new sample project and add QT += core gui location positioning & #include <QtLocation>
#include <QGeoLocation> .

Still if you get error, Could you copy and paste the exact error here.

WhatIf

C:\Users\Mike\Documents\Map\mainwindow.cpp:8: error: QGeoLocation: No such file or directory
#include <QGeoLocation>
^

These are all my #includes:

#include <QGeoAddress>
#include <QGeoRoute>
#include <QGeoLocation>
#include <QGeoShape>
#include <QGeoServiceProvider>
#include <QGeoCodingManager>
#include <QGeoCodeReply>

I included #include <QtLocation>, still the same problem.

deleted the project and started over, still the same problem.

Hi! Go to the installation directory and make sure the header files are actually there, e.g. in /opt/Qt5.7/5.7/gcc_64/include/QtPositioning.

WhatIf

From the following list:

#include <QGeoAddress>
#include <QGeoRoute>
#include <QGeoLocation>
#include <QGeoShape>
#include <QGeoServiceProvider>
#include <QGeoCodingManager>
#include <QGeoCodeReply>

only qgeoaddress and qgeoshape are in the QtPositioning folder. Is there a way to update Qt creator or download them? I downloaded and installed Qt creator a few months ago.

? Offline

You can run the Qt Maintainance Tool to install / reinstall said modules.

Although, if possible, updating to 5.7 would be preferable.

WhatIf

Finally, it's working :)

Thank you very much!
