QTDriver not Load

[jsulm]

@lucaynnofrota said in QTDriver not Load:

set mysql=C:\Program Files\MySQL

You should avoid using paths with spaces.

To add to @jsulm or at least you should quote them properly.

I'm lost: Is your problem still that you don't start out in the right directory for your qmake command?? Because you have been showing lines like:

C:\Users\lucya\Desktop\Qt Driver>cd D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\

C:\Users\lucya\Desktop\Qt Driver>qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\\include" "LIBS+=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\\lib\\libmysql.lib" -o Makefile D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\

Given that you seem to want to change the current directory to a path on a different drive from where you are, what do you think your first cd is accomplishing? On Windows/DOS it does not change the "current" directory (as you can see from the second line's prompt), it only changes the default directory on the other drive (D:).

You have to use cd /d ... or pushd ..., or go D:, if drive letter is different from current drive, if you want to change "the current directory" for the qmake.

Is this what this is all about?? Or maybe I'm going mad or don't have a clue what the issue is :)

I forgot this. But i think this is not the problem. Because i can copy the files to correctly directory.
Anyway, i changed the code!

Thaks for reply

@jsulm
Thanks for reply
I copied the files of interest to another folder to try to build. But it did not work.
Input:

d:
cd D:\Qt\5.12.0\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\Users\lucya\Desktop\Qt_Driver\include" "LIBS+=C:\Users\lucya\Desktop\Qt_Driver\libs"  -o Makefile D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\
nmake C:\Program~Files\MySQL\MySQL~Server~8.0\include\mysql

pause

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'mingw32-make'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should NOT run 'mingw32-make install'.
Note that this build cannot be deployed to other machines or devices.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

What is "sub" in documentation?

What sub do you mean?

[lucaynnofrota]

@jsulm

Thanks for reply
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html
Exist this code in documentation

cd $QTDIR/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers
qmake -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make sub-mysql

What is this "sub"?

[jsulm]

@lucaynnofrota It is a build target. Open the generated Makefile and search for sub-mysql there.

[kmyukie]

Hello, I have the same problem as @lucaynnofrota. I think I might be using the wrong commands to compile the MySQL plugin, although I have tried to follow the documentation. I'm on a Mac.
I've inputted in Terminal:

cd /Volumes/Potato/apps/5.11.2/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers
qmake -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/usr/local/mysql
make sub-mysql

In which "apps" is the Qt folder I've accidentally renamed.
But whenever I try to execute this:

#include <iostream>
#include <QtSql>
#include <QtCore>
#include <QString>
#include <QCoreApplication>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
       QCoreApplication a(argc,argv);

       QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
       bool ok = db.open();
       if(ok) cout << "OK!\n";
       qDebug() << db.lastError();
}

I get :

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QPSQL QPSQL7
QSqlError("", "Driver not loaded", "Driver not loaded")

My .pro file is:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console c++11
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG += qt
QT += sql gui
SOURCES += \
        main.cpp

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi,

Add the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable in the Run part of the Project panel. You'll have more information about why the plugins doesn't load. A wild guess would be that the application can't find the MySQL dlls at run time.

[kmyukie]

Thanks for replying!
I've tried to set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS to 1, and the output is:

I didn't realise that you are working on macOS. This thread is for Windows.

As for your issue, it has already been answered many times already on this forum. Please search it.

[jsulm]

@kmyukie Didn't you forgot "make install"?

[ankurboruah]

@jsulm I had the same issue as @lucaynnofrota where the qtsqldrivers-config.pri file was not found. Any idea where I can find the file?

[SGaist]

@ankurboruah This file is created when you configure Qt.

[ankurboruah]

@SGaist Thanks for your reply. I came to the same conclusion as well. Going through with configuring Qt. Hopefully no errors pop up during that.

[SGaist]

Which version of Qt are you trying to build the driver for ?

[lucaynnofrota]

The problem with MySQL I could not solve.
I tried using Postgres and I had no problem. Shortly afterwards I realized that I was making a Mistake, the latest versions of MySQL are for 64bit and the version I was using from 32bit qt
