Unsolved Custom Make System (bmake)
-
Hi, I'm new to QT5 but have an extensive build environment at our Uni that is based on 'bmake'.
I would like to use QT to create a 'screen saver' that displays our Jenkins Build Status on certain PCs when they are idle.
I'm planning to use the libpsi library to monitor the system and qmlscene to launch a WebView window after a certain amount of idle time.Is there a guide that explains how to incorporate 'moc' into a Makefile based build environment? What include folders are needed and what libraries need to be linked and from where? At what point is the 'moc' invoked and how? How can I collect the names of the files created by the 'moc' so I can forward them to our bmake processor?
Cheers,

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Can you explain how bmake works ?

I have worked out that
qmake
creates the Makefile to be used withmake
(but that's another story). Anyways, I am now able to build an executable. However I'm having difficulties getting a debug build on my Ubuntu 16.04 platform.
I am usingqmake CONFIG+=debug
and am able to see the-g
flag in the Makefile (CFAGS & CXXFLAGS). However when I attempt to usegdb test
to debug my executable, gdb reportsReading symbols from test...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
The gdb version I have is:
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.11.1-0ubuntu1~16.04) 7.11.1 Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

It appears to me that the debugger test in the Makefile is incorrectly calculating the Ubuntu gdb version:
{ test -n "$(DESTDIR)" && DESTDIR="$(DESTDIR)" || DESTDIR=.; } && test $$(gdb --version | sed -e 's,[^0-9][^0-9]*\([0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\).*,\1\2,;q') -gt 72 && gdb --nx --batch --quiet -ex 'set confirm off' -ex "save gdb-index $$DESTDIR" -ex quit '$(TARGET)' && test -f $(TARGET).gdb-index && objcopy --add-section '.gdb_index=$(TARGET).gdb-index' --set-section-flags '.gdb_index=readonly' '$(TARGET)' '$(TARGET)' && rm -f $(TARGET).gdb-index || true
Note I am using the Command Line here.
Qt Creator 4.3.1 is also complaining about my GDB, even though its version is 7.11.1 in the Tools->Options->Build & Run->Debuggers dialog, where I have a bunch of LLDB debuggers as well.@Lifetime-Qt-Champion :
bmake
is BSD Make, cross-platform make tool. Effectively the same asmake
. I'm trying to make this work the QT5 way first (from the command line) and then I'll worry about how I will integrate it into our system. (As I said above, that's another story.) -
Did you install Qt from the online/offline installer or are you using the Qt coming with your distribution ?
In the second case, did you instal the matching debug package from the package manager ?
