using opc ua in qt

Mogli123

Hello,

I want to use opc ua in qt.
Therefore I have to install the open62541, if I understood correctly.
I have seen this page but I do not know how to install the package as described in this description.

https://blog.basyskom.com/building-qt-opc-ua-with-open62541/

Does qt have its own shell for installing this package?
How should I install it exactly?

Sorry, if this are stupid questions, but I do not know what to do exactly.

Thanks for your help.

Greetings

Mogli

@Mogli123 The description is quite clear. What exactly is the problem?
"Does qt have its own shell for installing this package?" - "make install" after building will do it.
And what is your OS?

Mogli123

I work on windows.
I do not know where to insert the comments.

1 Git clone https://github.com/open62541/open62541.git
2 cd open62541
3 git checkout 644761ff
4 mkdir build
...

In cmd of windows or in a shell of qt if it exists?

You need to install git/tortoise git (for use git and clone the projects open62541 / qtopcua)

when installing git, there may be an option 'add to environment variable' check this option to automatically configure your PATH.

when it is installed open your normal windows terminal and write :

git

if it is recognizing you are good to go, if not, you need to config you PATH

... same thing for qmake/make / cmake

what compiler do you use ?

Note :qtopcua 5.11.0 works perfectly, but i could not build qtopcua 5.12 for the moment, https://forum.qt.io/topic/97476/build-qtopcua-5-12-windows/2

Thank you very much
I will try it.
I answer if it works for me or not.

Mh ok thanks for the hint, I would like to build Qtopcua on Qt 5.12, too.

@Mogli123 i clarify :

i use Qt 5.12 and i build :

QtOpcUa 5.11 : success
QtOpcUa 5.12 : fail

When I try to run:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE = Share -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DUA_ENABLE_AMALGAMATION = ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = c: \ Qt_5_12_MinGW \ open62541\build ..

I get the following error:
CMake error: The source directory "c: Qt_5_12_MinGW / open62541 / build" is not against containing CMakeLists.txt.

I run this code in the build folder like in the discripiton.
I have installed MinGW64
is this a problem?

What am I doing wrong?

@Mogli123 hi, try to add .. at the end of your command

hi,
I have the 2 dots allready in my code like in my post above

When I run:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DUA_ENABLE_AMALGAMATION=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\path\to\open62541-mingw-install ..

I get this error:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles" CMake_Make_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles" CMake_Make_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

I have no experience to work with the shell therefore I have no idea what I can do to solve the error.

@LeLev
thank you :)
adding links to the system path solved the problem

but now I have a building problem with

mingw32-make

error:

cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wpedantic"
cc1.exe: warnings being treated as errors
cc1.exe: error:unrecognized command line option "-Wno-static-in-inline"
...

if one error is solved the next one will follow:(

@Mogli123
Can you please check your mingw version ? with mingw32-make -ver

i used mingw that comes with qt, adding this to system path

C:\Qt\5.12.0\mingw73_64\bin

Mogli123

@LeLev
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me

I'm using mingw from qt, too.

my mingw version is:
GNU Make 4.2.1
Cuilt for x86_64-w64-mingw32
Copyright....

I add the same as you to the system path

@Mogli123 when you call cmake .. see if your output is ~similar to mine
maybe you need to update gcc

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DUA_ENABLE_AMALGAMATION=ON ..

@LeLev

I delet the fils in the build folder

try cmake again and all works fine

I don't know why....

THANK you very much for your helping

that is now qopcua 5.12?
Should I load the 5.11 version, because you noticed that the 5.12 does not work for you?

ODБOï

@Mogli123 right click on your cloned qtopcua folder> TortoiseGit > Show log to see the version.

Please try to build the qtopcua 5.12 and tell me if it works for you.

qmake c:\users\lev\Documents\LIB\qtopcua -- OPEN62541_PREFIX=c:\users\lev\document
s\lib\open62541 OPEN62541_INCDIR=c:\users\lev\documents\lib\open62541\build OPEN62541_LIBDIR=c:\users\lev\documents\lib\open62541\bu

mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

@LeLev

It seems that I have the 5.11 version

I runed the code like in the discripiton

I see no error but howe can I test if it works?
sorry if this is a stupid question

@Mogli123 said in using opc ua in qt:

howe can I test if it works?

create a project, a class, include <QtOpcUa> , create QScopedPointer<QOpcUaClient> m_client; , compile
