Is there a quick way to build http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtopcua.git/tree/ as a standalone plugin or library ?

If everything goes well, just open qtopcua.pro in QtCreator, select the correct Qt version and press build :)

Note 1: there are (at least) two prerequisities: freeopcua and open62541 needed to build qtopcua.

Note 2: the module is still under heavy development, so expected to invest some time to get something running

Note 3: if you build the module standalone, you get the binaries in your build folder. If the module is build as part of Qt, the binaries are already at the correct "end position". In your case, you may need some "make install" step (copy the resulting libraries to your Qt/lib directory)

Disclaimer: I don't know if Qt 5.9.x is enough or if you already need Qt 5.10.

I could exclude freeopcua from this buidl, that was not a problem.

I get this output from qmake :

Configure summary:

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'nmake'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.

This tells me that qtopcua.git is supposed to be build as a part of a complete Qt build.

I must agree that I didn't use QtOpcUa so far, but I have don the same with e.g. QtSerialBus. The message is from Qt's configuration system, right. That does not necessarily mean building outside Qt's source tree is impossible.

No, I did not because the rest of qmake output yields:

This means I need perl on my PATH in order to "Synchronizes Qt header files" ( see syncqt.pl contents). Never needed perl before when building a standalone lib or plugin.

aha_1980

@sirop: well the correct way is to follow https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git and to build at least qtbase first. Other needed modules (within the Qt source tree can be build on demand).

Of course you need Perl and Python to build Qt following these instructions, so you will have to install them first.

Hi guys,

today I have starting to run the Qtopcua.
I have found the solution for the error on the top of the post. Since Qt 5.8 the installer of Qt can't install Strawberry
(Perl). So Qt don't know the command "perl". So tolve this problem, you have to got to the following path :
"C:\Qt\Qt5.10.0\Tools\Perl52213_32". There is the file "strawberry-perl-5.22.1.3-32bit". You have to start this installer. After that, the error on the top of the post will disapear.

After the that I have a question. How can I exclude the freeopcua and open62541? What have I to do, that Qt will know those two thinks.

Thanks in Advance

Greetings,

Ben

@N3ff3
Thanks for the hint.
I can not find the corresponding Perl path under Qt5.9.1, but maybe, this is only due to my ommitting this Perl module during installation.

How can I exclude the freeopcua and open62541? What have I to do, that Qt will know those two thinks.

Could you please explain your intention in more understandable words?

Hmm, that is really interessting. I have checked it at my Computer and I can't find it for Qt 5.9.1. I find it only for Qt 5.10.0.

Yes, sorry for the less information.

My goal is to use the QtOpcUa. When I run the qmake in the Qt Creator, then I will get the following text:

"

In my opinion, the important lines are these: "
Qt Opcua:
FreeOpcua .............................. no
Open62541 .............................. no
"

My question is how can I register/load or do something else, that FreeOpcua and Open 62541 are not missing even more.

Or do I something wrong?

Greetings

Ben

Should one you prebuild and adjust the path for Open62541 as in
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtopcua.git/tree/src/plugins/opcua/open62541/open62541.pro#n9 ?

Have I to download this libaries?

win32: LIBS += open62541.lib ws2_32.lib

sirop

@N3ff3
ws2_32.lib is Windows own winsock lib.

open62541.lib has to be built from source https://github.com/open62541/open62541 .

N3ff3

@sirop

I have started the building from source with this instruction.

I have the problem, that I have no buildopen62541.sln . I have only an open62541.sln. So I have tested it with this solution, but then I will get the following error:

Unable to start programm
D:\0020____Spielwiesle\QT\lib\open62541\open62541\build\Debug\ALL_BUILD.

The system cannot find the file specified

The ALL_BUILD file is in this folder:
D:\0020____Spielwiesle\QT\lib\open62541\open62541\build\ALL_BUILD.

So I have changed the Output file to the path where the ALL_BUILD file is.

While the Build process no error occured.

sirop

@N3ff3
Is this kind of a question?

N3ff3

@sirop

Yeah, I want to know how can I solve this problem?

Has anyone an idea?

I used the cmake GUI with MSVC 2015 for a Release version.
Do not know if the Debug version as you tried to build needs any tweaks.

See may CMakeCache.txt if interested: https://gist.github.com/sirop/d3cfd94d93dbf3c22e1195c7e326022a .

Please do choose: CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON in order to have a more detailed make log.

N3ff3

Now I have used the cmake gui. The process finished without and errors. So far so good. I found under the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\open62541" the folders include, lib and share.

Have I finished this step correct?

If yes, what have I to do with this files?

Many thanks in advanced and sorry about my stupid questions.

sirop

@N3ff3
Now you have a choice:

return to https://forum.qt.io/post/434351
or make your own Qt C++ wrapper for open62541 . The wrapper should not be the most elegant one, not should it wrap all the C functions of open62541. A subset of those that you need is enough.

Please report about you progress here.

BTW, guess you are trying to implement an OPC client. If so, what is the OPC server you deal with?

N3ff3

@sirop

I have changed the line

win32: LIBS += open62541.lib ws2_32.lib

with

win32: LIBS += 'C:/Program Files (x86)/open62541/lib/open62541.lib' ws2_32.lib

Now I have this error:

[Ungenau] Project ERROR: Library 'open62541' is not defined.

I don't know why I get this error. The library is at this path. Have you any ideas?

Yes I am trying to implement an OPC UA Client. The OPC Server is from Siemens.

In my case it is:

so in your case smth. like:

win32: LIBS += -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\open62541\lib"  open62541.lib ws2_32.lib

but I am not sure about double quotes.

Yes I am trying to implement an OPC UA Client. The OPC Server is from Siemens.

Ok, I also have to deal with a Siemens OPC UA server.
I'll go the way of coding my own C++ wrapper.

Pay attention to https://github.com/open62541/open62541/issues/788#issuecomment-278582678 as you might need an additional encryption lib like https://github.com/KDE/qca .

@sirop

Thank you for the tips, I think I have to build my own Wrapper to.

Thank you for your Time!
