Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: KArchive

SGaist

Hi,

Can you share your .pro file ?

Did you check on your system for the presence of a KArchive.pri file ?

I found these 2 .pri files, Are they the ones ?

Abdulmueez

So, I found a possible solution that involves including the pri files in the pro file of my project,

include(C:/Users/emiol/OneDrive/Desktop/Git/kaarchive/build/src/qt_KArchive.pri)

These removes the above error, but I can't still make use of the headers(KZip,karchivedirectory,...), there files are not found.

I think the errors are from the pri files, the headers ain't included in it, Here is the content

QT.KArchive.VERSION = 5.61.0
QT.KArchive.MAJOR_VERSION = 5
QT.KArchive.MINOR_VERSION = 61
QT.KArchive.PATCH_VERSION = 0
QT.KArchive.name = KF5Archive
QT.KArchive.module = KF5Archive
QT.KArchive.defines = 
QT.KArchive.includes = C:-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release/include/KF5/KArchive
QT.KArchive.private_includes =
QT.KArchive.libs = C:-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release/lib
QT.KArchive.depends = core

SGaist

Did you call make install after building the module ?

Abdulmueez

Yes, I did that

Abdulmueez

So, I manually added the files and I have this,
I'm not sure I did the right thing, Is the format of the pri file correct now?
This doesn't solve the error though, I just want to know whether I'm thinking in the right direction?

Building KArchive on windows is not trivial and that article is badly out of date.
You can download a pre-built version for MSVC2017 from here (expires in 6 months):

32bit
64bit

Then unpack it and add the below to your project (.pro) file (this assumes you uncompressed the library in C:\KDE)

LIBS += -LC:/KDE/lib
INCLUDEPATH +=  C:/KDE/include/KF5/KArchive
CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
LIBS += -lKF5Archive
}
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
LIBS += -lKF5Archived
}

Thanks a lot, It works fine now.
I really appreciate all thehelp
