QtMobility build errors on Mac

jonricha

Hi,

I'm trying to build QtMobility on Mac so that I can:

import Qt.multimedia 1.0

in qml

When I tried to build it on Mac 10.5.8, I got these build errors:

qlandmarkfilehandler_lmx.cpp:116: error: cannot convert ‘QCoreXmlStreamReader*’
to ‘QXmlStreamReader*’ in assignment
qlandmarkfilehandler_lmx.cpp:121: error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct Q
XmlStreamReader’
qlandmarkfilehandler_lmx_p.h:67: error: forward declaration of ‘struct QXmlStrea
mReader’
qlandmarkfilehandler_lmx.cpp:125: error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct Q
XmlStreamReader’
qlandmarkfilehandler_lmx_p.h:67: error: forward declaration of ‘struct QXmlStrea
mReader’
qlandmarkfilehandler_lmx.cpp:126: error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct Q
XmlStreamReader’
.
.
.

Has anyone else had these problems? It sure would be nice if there was a binary delivery of QtMobility (if there is, I can't find it).

Thanks,
Jon

Did you build your own Qt environment or are you using the pre-bundled one ?

Pre-bundled

I am planning to use QtMobility for iCalendar input. I will be adding it to a scratch-built environment. I would suspect you will have to scratch-build a "sandbox" to use it. The pre-bundled setup is OK for simple stuff and to become familiar with the tools, but there are so many possibilities, it would be really tough to pre-build a bundle that covers all possibilities.

I would consider posting info about how I build my environment. That should help you along.

I thought that what I was trying was simple (to play an audio file through qml)...

But if this is really the only way to go, then I do appreciate the help :-)

Hi,

I was not able to build all of qt mobility with the bundled qt - but at least multimedia should be no problem

List all your modules here, I could not get location working out of the box

./configure -modules "multimedia gallery" -prefix /Developer/
make
make install
@

bye

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the command line. I did try (successfully) building the multimedia module, but I don't think I set the prefix the way you did. I ended up getting a multimedia library that Qt Creator found (the underlining went away) but when I tried to run my QML app, the library couldn't be loaded. I think there might be some difference with the Qt version used to build mutlimedia and the one used by my Qt Creator...I'll have to check on that.

I will also try building with the prefix that you've mentioned...being a newbie to Macs, I wasn't really sure what to put there...sure would be nice if the docs suggested a little more about that.

Thanks,
Jon

Yeah, prebuilt mac binaries would be super good ;)

I was having this same problem to build Qt Mobility on my OS X 10.6 and found the solution following another topic:
"http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/1516":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/1516

A bug was reported:
"http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTMOBILITY-688":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTMOBILITY-688

and the 1.1 branch has it fixed:
"http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility/qt-mobility/commits/1.1":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility/qt-mobility/commits/1.1

Good luck ;)

Thanks!

I now can build all modules using

hi hhinrich, can you convert it to a link
