Solved Bluetooth Examples on Windows
-
Hi!
I've been searching for a solution for my problem in the Bluetooth Examples for quite a bit on my problem but I can't seemed to find any
I am currently using Qt5.10 with a MinGW 5.3 32bit compiler running on Windows 7 64bit.
I have cloned the wip/win from qt/qtconnectivity.git and checked out the wip/win.
Everything runs fine and I was able to build the project.However, when I ran the btscanner example, I tried to pair the device found and activated the device.
The application outputs:
"Unable to load 'bluetoothapis' library."
and the program crashed.I'm not very sure of what the problem could be, so I'll appreciate any help that's given!

Hi, it sounds like win 7 is not supported/tested.
As far as i recall Qt5.10 (wip/win ) allowed to use more bluetooth on windows 10
but im not sure win 7 is supported.
Trying to find out. -

Trying to find out.I see...
Is there any other alternatives to implement Bluetooth on such configurations then?
Thank you! -
Hi
I cant find any info if its supported on win 7 or not.if it turns out that win version is not supported, you could try
https://github.com/ftylitak/QBluetoothZero
Not sure if win 7 support is included. -
@mrjj actually I believe its mingw thats not supported. And that currently makes it also not supported for Win7
I have a project that uses Bluetooth. If I compile it with mingw, I see the warning in the output box "Bluetooth-DummyBackEnd" or something along the line.
And MSVC2015 and QtBluetooth makes use of Windows10 only files, I believe.
I wasn't able to make it run on my Win7 maschine. -

I have cloned the wip/win from qt/qtconnectivity.git and checked out the wip/win.- Nobody tested on Windows 7, e.g. I use WIndows 8(10).
- There are implemented the Bluetooth Low Energy support on ~90%, but for the Classic Bluetooth it is implemented only the devices and services discovery.
The wip/win branch is still in process of development.

I see. Thank you guys for the help!
I'll probably get a Virtual Machine with the appropriate OS if I can't get it to work on Windows 7.
