qtmqtt build on windows

AndreaFurlani

I'm having the same issue using the last version of Qt and Qt Creator on Linux 20.04 .
I used the following commands in the terminal:

git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qtmqtt
qmake .
make

and the make command returns the same error described above:

qmqttconnection.cpp: In member function ‘bool QMqttConnection::ensureTransport(bool)’:

If you did nothing special, then you have the dev branch checked out. Switch the the branch matching your Qt version.

AndreaFurlani

@SGaist Thank you for your fast reply, how can I do that?

SGaist

Using git checkout <name of the branch/tag>

@SGaist I downloaded the correct version (for Qt 5.15) but now it returns a new error:

In file included from qmqttauthenticationproperties.cpp:30:

SGaist

Did you cleanup before restarting the build ?

AndreaFurlani

What do you mean with cleanup?

Following this thread https://forum.qt.io/topic/100705/how-can-i-use-the-qtmqtt-code/14 , I remove all the "QtMqtt" from the headers files, now I can build the project without errors.
On the other hand when I run the project, in the application output panel I get this error:

10:41:49: Starting /home/furla/Qt/EDALAB/build-qtmqtt-Desktop_Qt_5_15_0_GCC_64bit-Debug/examples/mqtt/consolepubsub/qtmqtt_pub ...

I looked into the folder and there are:

MakeFile
*Makefile.qtmqtt_pub
*MakeFile.qtmqtt_sub

And if I use the command make in this folder I get this error:

@AndreaFurlani said in qtmqtt build on windows:

What do you mean with cleanup?

Nuke the build folder to ensure there's no stuff from your failed attempt that will influence this new one.

Then ensure you have all the required tools to build Qt from git since you cloned the sources from there. Since you are on Linux, it is likely the case but better check then guess.

AndreaFurlani

@SGaist Ok I already deleted everything before to retry and as I described above I'm getting a new error.
I think I have all the right tools installed and also the Qt Creator options should be ok since I can run every example project without problems.
Moreover, instead of using the command clone, I maually downloaded the .zip folder from git corresponding to my Qt version

SGaist

Can you give what your actual state is now ?
Did you build the module successfully ?
If so, did you call the equivalent of make install ?

ThirdStrand

For other searchers!

There is a dependency package, at least on RPi by the name of:

qt5base-private-dev

in order to build qtmqtt.

@SGaist , thanks for the prompt on git checkout <version> as I keep forgetting that detail when seeking a specific version.
