Example of Virtual Keyboard showing in different languages

gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3)

Thanks,

Pradeep Kumar

Hi,

what is the

g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++1z’
g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wdate-time’

and what is -std=c++1z , -Wdate-time

and should i turn off or disable -std=c++1z , -Wdate-time ,

Thanks,

jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar Make sure you're building from a clean state!
What I mean: if you don't use out of source build then extract the source code archive again and try to build again. Better to use out of source builds as @SGaist suggested.

mrdebug

I have the same problem on Linux.

Pradeep Kumar

Hi,

Still the same error.
I used qtvirtualkeyboard source code , moved out into different folder, followed the same steps .
Still same getting

g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++1z’
g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wdate-time’

Thanks,

SGaist

I think they should be the same but can you just check that g++ is the same version as gcc ?

Pradeep Kumar

Hi,

Both are same versions.

4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3

Thanks,

SGaist

From the supported platform 5.9 is at Ubuntu 16.04. You're version of g++ is a bit outdated in that regards so you'll have to modify the mkspec a bit to remove the date-time warning as well as change the c++1z with something a little older like c++14.

Hi,

I have updated g++,

gcc version 5.4.1 20160904 (Ubuntu 5.4.1-2ubuntu1~14.04)
gcc version 5.4.1 20160904 (Ubuntu 5.4.1-2ubuntu1~14.04)

gcc is same as g++,

still i am unable to achieve it.

i used qmake
-Inspiron-3558:~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/Src/qtvirtualkeyboard/src/virtualkeyboard$ /home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/bin/qmake
then used make

-Inspiron-3558:~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/Src/qtvirtualkeyboard/src/virtualkeyboard$ make

I am getting the above errors, can u help me out,

Please provide guidance,

Thanks,

HI,

I installed latest g++ and gcc versions and

used qmake.
then make clean.
then make.
make install.

Then ran the basic program which is present in the path
/home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/Src/qtvirtualkeyboard/examples/virtualkeyboard/basic

I am getting virtual keyboard in ubuntu,
Thanks for the solutions and help,

But when i change the language present in the path,
/home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/Src/qtvirtualkeyboard/src/virtualkeyboard

as CONFIG += lang-ar_AR in the virtualkeyboard.pro file,

then again followed the steps to compile the plugin,
but when i ran the basic program to launch virtual keyboard, i am not getting the button enabled, to select the language,

Please provide the guidance,

Thanks,

jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar said in Example of Virtual Keyboard showing in different languages:

.obj/platforminputcontext.o: error adding symbols: File in wrong format

you should do it from a clean state - looks like you have binaries built with the old compiler.

Pradeep Kumar

Yes @jsulm i got that point made a clean then built it i got the virtual keyboard, but i am not getting for different languages, tats y i posted in earlier post.

Thanks,

SGaist

AFAICS you are setting only one language when building the module. You should list all the languages you want to support.

Pradeep Kumar

nope still the same, i provided 4 languages in .pro file,

still the same issue.

when i run make install

-Inspiron-3558:~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/Src/qtvirtualkeyboard/src/virtualkeyboard$ make install
install -m 755 -p ../../plugins/platforminputcontexts/libqtvirtualkeyboardplugin.so /home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libqtvirtualkeyboardplugin.so
strip --strip-unneeded /home/dheerendra/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libqtvirtualkeyboardplugin.so
install -m 644 -p /home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/Src/qtvirtualkeyboard/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5Gui_QVirtualKeyboardPlugin.cmake /home/dheerendra/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/

after this i run sample program.

Thanks,

mrdebug

The Qt open source package contains the qtvirtualkeyboard component.
I can build it without anu problem but I can't add the flag lang-all.
Insert CONFIG += lang-all in .pro file has no effect.

Pradeep Kumar

Hello,

now i am facing one more issue, when i try to compile the program using Qt creator,
getting the below mentioned errors,

home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/mkspecs/features/qt_plugin.prf:52: Cannot write file /mkspecs/modules-inst/qt_plugin_qtvirtualkeyboardplugin.pri: Cannot create parent directory
17:58:18: The process "/home/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/bin/qmake" exited with code 3.
Error while building/deploying project virtualkeyboard (kit: Desktop Qt 5.8.0 GCC 64bit)
The kit Desktop Qt 5.8.0 GCC 64bit has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.
When executing step "qmake".

But the kit is configured and rest of the programs are running, only the virtualkeyboard program is giving me this error...

Guidance is required,

Thanks,

jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar said in Example of Virtual Keyboard showing in different languages:

Cannot write file /mkspecs/modules-inst/qt_plugin_qtvirtualkeyboardplugin.pri

Are you really trying to write to /mkspects ? This would be a subdirectory of the root directory where a normal user has no write access. Does this directory even exist?

Pradeep Kumar

Nope i dnt know regarding that as i was trying to compile the qtvirtualkeyboard program in ubuntu, i am getting the error, but i didnt find the compiling error in windows, strange.

is their any other configuration to be done.

Thanks,

SGaist

Can you show your .pro file ?

Again, did you start using out of source builds ?
Between two tries, did you nuke the build folder ? If so, how did you nuke it ?

Just added CONFIG += lang-ar_AR lang-fr_FR , to get the keyboard in arabic and french,
and i didnt change any other line,
its nt compiling in Qt creator,

I am not using out of source, and i deleted .pro.user file,deleted build folder then tries to compile, still no change, its not compiling.

Thanks,
