Building qt 5.9.7 on CentOS 7 completes but qtsvg seems to be missing

Christian Ehrlicher

Then go to the qtsvg subdirectory and type 'make' to see if something gets compiled.

I just did and nothing additional built. Two questions:

Are there any test programs etc. I can run to make sure I have clean and complete compile?
After compiling qt with, in my case, gmake and then gmake install, are there any environment variables I need to set in order to compile another application that uses qt? If I type qmake --version it tells me:
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.9.7 in /usr/local/Qt-5.9.7/lib
Is this sufficient for when using qmake to build this other application, pgmodeler, that uses qt?

yryu4526

I just checked pgmodeler.pri, apparently the file qmake pulls in when building pgmodeler and it contains the following statements for qt:

General Qt settings

QT += core widgets printsupport network svg
CONFIG += ordered qt stl rtti exceptions warn_on c++11
TEMPLATE = subdirs
MOC_DIR = moc
OBJECTS_DIR = obj
UI_DIR = src

Is there anything above that I should double-check? The most likely explanation for the error:
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: svg
might be that something is misconfigured??

yryu4526

I now have two docker containers:

In the first one I downloaded the qt5 libraries (5.9.7) etc available in CentOS repositories and then cloned pgmodeler from github and was able to build version 0.9.0-alpha1 of the latter successfully.
In the second container I did /not/ download the qt5 libraries from the repositories but cloned pgmodeler exactly as above and the compile of that results in Qt svg not found as earlier stated.

I see three differences between the two different docker containers:

In the first one I use qmake-qt5 for the build, in the second I use qmake (no qmake-qt5 is generated).
In the first one the qt libraries are in /usr/lib64 and in the second one they are in /usr/local/Qt-5.9.7/lib.
The third difference is a slight difference in size of individual library files, not sure why.

But, could there be a configuration problem?

Do you have the QtSvg module installed in your custom build ?

yryu4526

Could you explain a bit further, what do you mean by "installed in your custom build"? Two messages up I pasted the qt section of the build profile for the other app.

yryu4526

Just for "fun" I removed the svg reference in the qt section of the build profile for the third-party app and I could begin building it. However, it failed late in the build process when it tried to access qtsvg.

I have to believe there is something wrong with the setup since the qtsvg modules are not picked up. Might there be some bug in qt 5.9.7 itself that does not make qtsvg available? Or some setup configuration I have missed since although it builds, it does not seem to be available later...

Is there any way I can test this hypothesis outside my third-party app?

Take a look into the folder that was populated after you called "make install". Do you find anything related to QtSvg ?

yryu4526

That would be, I believe, /usr/local/Qt-5.9.7/lib and it does contain libQt5Svg.so.5.9.7.

SGaist

Ok, do you have the same issue if you create a small dummy project using that module ?

yryu4526

I do not know, I do not have the skills to create a new project. I asked earlier if there are any test programs in qt that I can use to check the status post-compilation?

Hi
You can just use Creator and the menu File->"New File Or project"
and then
alt text

then add
QT += svg
in the pro file and see if that compiles.

just in case you dont have creator.
here is default project created with thw wizard
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vvz5s4yhka68uui/justDefualt.zip?dl=0

yryu4526

I downloaded the file into a new directory, ran "qmake -r justDefualt.pro" and got the following output:
Info: creating stash file /root/test/.qmake.stash
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: svg

Note that I am running as root in a docker container, not on the main machine itself.

SGaist

And the qmake is from your self compiled Qt ?

yryu4526

Correct, it's located in /root/qt5-build/qtbase/bin. I am wondering, since I am doing this in a docker container, there might be some configuration issue?

This is the output after running the first ./configure command (../qt5/configure -opensource -prefix /usr/lib64 -nomake examples -skip qtquick1 | tee -a /qt-build.txt)

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'gmake'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'gmake install'.
Qt will be installed into '/usr/lib64'.

Is there something above that does /not/ look correct?

SGaist

Did you call make install ?
You can also skip building the tests.

I find it strange that QtSvg is not listed. Did you parse them tests logs to see if anything has failed for it ?

Did you try to manually build it after the rest was built ?

yryu4526

Yes, I called make install and I did try building it manually - I already posted that previously.

But should svg have been listed in the configuration summary I posted?? It seems odd other qt components are listed but since I am not very knowledgeable I do not know if this means anything.

SGaist

What about the test logs ?

yryu4526

I have to look for them but my impression so far is that qtsvg is build but for some reason not picked up by qmake for the third-party app, nor for the test app given to me. Can I check this some way?

SGaist

All the modules should have the same structure once installed. Check the presence of files related to svg. Not only the libraries but also the cmake/qmake related ones.
