Can't translate sub projects

Roy44

Hi,
I would like to translate my project, so I use Qt linguist.
After resolving "Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'cl'" by adding cl.exe into path,
I have the follong problem :
lupdate warning: no TS files specified. Only diagnostics will be produced for 'E:/projets/Mediacad2_ODA4.3.2/Mediacad2.pro'.
It's logic because Mediacad2.pro has no translation but its subproject does, Mediacad2.pro looks like this:

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    MdCore \
    MdWidgets \
    #...

# where to find the sub projects - give the folders
MdDC3.subdir = MdDC3
MdBatch.subdir = MdBatch
MdCore.subdir = MdCore
#...

# what subproject depends on others
MdDC3.depends = MdCore
#...

What I missed ?
I also compile on MACOS and I have no problem.

thanks.

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using on Windows ?
Is it the same that you are using on macOS ?

Can you reproduce that with a minimal project ?

Roy44

I work with Qt 5.10 on both platform.
I compile with VS2015 on windows

Then, can you reduce the project to a testable size to see what's going wrong ?

Roy44

It's start after 30 minutes, and process takes lot of resources even with one of my subprojects.

Hence the proposition of creating a minimal sample project that triggers the same error.

Roy44

on simple project it works.
It's very strange. Do lupdate search in "include" directories in addition to project files?

SGaist

What do you mean by that ?

Roy44

because it takes a lot of time (maybe it scan other directories).
I think it's a qt configuration problem on window (no problem on mac).
Maybe the resolution of "Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'cl'" cause another problem...

The CL problem is usually:

Missing Visual Studio
Wrong installation of Visual Studio i.e. C++ not selected on installation.

Is either your case ?
