Solved QtKNX - Compilation errors out of the box
-
I am currently trying to integrate QtKNX into our project. For this, I grabbed the corresponding repository from github. Fired up the good old QtCreator and hoped for the best.
After clonging the repository, I opened the
*.pro
project file in Qt creator, selected the Qt 5.13.1 + MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit kit and ran QMake.
Runnin QMake was successful.
When trying to compile, I ran into errors immediately:11:49:02: Running steps for project qtknx... 11:49:02: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step. 11:49:02: Starting: "C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_64\bin\mingw32-make.exe" -j12 cd src\ && ( if not exist Makefile C:\Qt\5.13.1\mingw73_64\bin\qmake.exe -o Makefile C:\Users\joel\Downloads\qtknx-dev\src\src.pro -spec win32-g++ "CONFIG+=debug" "CONFIG+=qml_debug" ) && C:/Qt/Tools/mingw730_64/bin/mingw32-make -f Makefile mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/joel/Downloads/build-qtknx-Desktop_Qt_5_13_1_MinGW_64_bit-Debug/src' [...] mingw32-make[3]: *** [Makefile.Release:2787: .obj/release/qknx4byteunsignedvalue.o] Error 1 In file included from C:\Users\joel\Downloads\qtknx-dev\src\knx\core\qknxbytearray.cpp:41:0: C:\Users\joel\Downloads\qtknx-dev\src\knx\core\qknxbytearray.h:47:10: fatal error: QtKnx/qtknxglobal.h: No such file or directory #include <QtKnx/qtknxglobal.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

Error while building/deploying project qtknx (kit: Desktop Qt 5.13.1 MinGW 64-bit) When executing step "Make" 11:49:04: Elapsed time: 00:02.
The full build output can be found as a paste here.
So it seems that various header inclusions such as
<QtKnx/qtnxdatapointtype.h>
,<QtKnx/qtknxglobal.h>
an do so on are not being found. However, these are also the files that I am trying to compile right now into a usable QtKNX binary.Personally I had the expectation that I can just fire up QtCreator, hit the green button of glory and call it a day. But it seems like I am missing some path setups. But then again: These are the files I am trying to compile.
What exactly am I missing here? Do I need to manually change some build variables such as
Q_KNX_EXPORT
?
I never tried to compile a Qt module before (except for the webengine all those years ago... lets not speak of that outside of my therapist's office).I'd be thankful for any kind of hint.
I am using:
- Windows 10, 64-bit
- Qt Creator 4.10.0
- Qt 5.13.1
- MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit
- Whatever qmake version came with the standard install
Any kind of help on this would be appreciated.

which branch did you check out in QtKnx git repo?
The
master
branch. -
@Joel-Bodenmann try the one matching your Qt version.

Hi,
AFAIK, there's no master branch, did you mean
dev
?In any case, usually that error comes from forward header files not generated. Do you have Perl installed on your system ?

?Yep!

Well that was a good recommendation :p
After checking out the branch that matched my Qt version and ensuring that QtCreator/QMake can find my perl binary, I was able to build without any issues!
