How to enable Virtual Keyboard Languages

SGaist

Hi,

You don't need to rebuild the whole Qt.
Get the module sources and then use the classic qmake/make/make install.

Take the time to checkout if there's any option you can passe to get more locale supported.

I have tried to compile the module. Then I compiled the whole Qt and still cannot get it working

SGaist

What configuration did you give when compiling the module ?

Angel Popov

@SGaist

I just copy the source from git repository.

qmake qtvirtualkeyboard.pro
make
make install

SGaist

Try with qmake "CONFIG+=lang-all".

Any idea?

Hi,

You are trying to build the module that is provided with Qt 5.7.1 with the Qt version installed by your distribution which is 5.3.2. Use the full path to your 5.7.1 qmake when building the module.

I worked for me now too.
I did it in Qt Creator. Open the project and:
-In "Build Step" qmake, add in additional arguments: CONFIG+=lang-all
-Add Build Step "make" with argumant "install"
