Problem using Qt Charts <QtCharts/QAbstractSeries> Not found

[SGaist]

Hi and welcome to devnet,

To add to @kshegunov, what OS/Compiler are you working with ?

[Jenifer]

@kshegunov : I have tried from the command line as well. The error says QtCharts/QAbstractSeries: No such file or directory . #include<QtCharts/QAbstractSeries> , this error prompts from src/charts/chartdataset.cpp file.
I get the same error on command line as well as on Qt Creator

@SGaist : I am working on windows 7 OS and mingw49_32 compiler.

@Jenifer
Perhaps a silly question, but when you cloned the repository did you select the correct branch (Qt version)?

Kind regards.

[SGaist]

You should also clone from code.qt.io. Github is just a mirror.

[Jenifer]

@SGaist
Ya i tried to clone it from code.qt.io. this was mentioned in other threads too. But i got the following error "The requested URL /qt/qtcharts.git was not found on this server." So i cloned it from Github.

@kshegunov
Ya it seems silly too , but i am unable to resolve it. I have selected the correct branch and qt version.
I am completely new to QT so i have no clue how to resolve it. I tried checking the .pro files as well but i couldn't figure out what is causing that error.

[SGaist]

Can you show the line you used to clone the repository from code.qt.io

How are you trying to build the project ?

[Jenifer]

@SGaist
I tried with

git clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git
git clone http://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git

I get the error as
fatal: unable to access 'https://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git/': Couldn't resolve host 'code.qt.io'.

I tried building the project from QtCreator it showed the error as mentioned above. Later i tried from command prompt and got the same error

@Jenifer

Try this:

git clone -b 5.6 git://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git

Then you try building. Go in the cloned directory and run (put the correct paths here):

/path/to/qt/qmake
mingw32-make

Finally if everything goes well you can install in the (preset) location with:

mingw32-make install

By the way, did you build Qt yourself, or you have installed it with the maintenance tool?

Kind regards.

[Jenifer]

@kshegunov

Even after using this command
git clone -b 5.6 git://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git

The error persist
fatal: unable to access 'https://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git/': Couldn't resolve host 'code.qt.io'.

I have installed it from the maintenance tool.

@Jenifer
I'm sorry, this error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git/': Couldn't resolve host 'code.qt.io'.

does not correspond to the suggested git command. Are you sure you're executing what I wrote and not something else? I can pull the repository without a problem.

Kind regards.

[Jenifer]

@kshegunov

Sorry,

When I use this command
git clone -b 5.6 git://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git

I got the following error
Unable to look up code.qt.io (port 9418) (No such host is known. )

So i tried it with
git clone -b 5.6 http://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git
git clone -b 5.6 https://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git
commands for which i got the error as
fatal: unable to access 'https://code.qt.io/qt/qtcharts.git/': Couldn't resolve host 'code.qt.io'

[SGaist]

Are you behind a firewall ? A custom DNS ?

[Jenifer]

@SGaist
Yes there is firewall . Will that affect ??

[SGaist]

Check with the people responsible to manage it but it's likely that it's blocking access to code.qt.io

[Jenifer]

@SGaist
Thank you i will check with the concerned people and get back if any help needed
