Building database driver, IT difficulties
-
First you should tell us if you want to compile the whole Qt or only a single plugin
But nonetheless it's
nmakeand not make when you use VisualStudio.@Christian-Ehrlicher , I thought I'd made it clear I am trying to build the SQL plugin driver for Qt. I am following the link:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#driverwithqtWhat is vague about this? As previously stated the documentation calls:
cd $QTDIR/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql make install -
So did you call qmake, were the mysql libs and include paths found and did you actually compile the driver like explained?
Also why do you want to build the plugin for 5.9 on your own? It was still shipped there afair.
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher , thats not what that page I posted the link is asking for....
cd $QTDIR/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql make install@SPlatten I would actually suggest using jom instead of nmake, as nmake is single threadedStay with nmake for now ;-)

@J-Hilk , its like mission impossible, the laptop is so locked down its very difficult. I've cleaned out the cache:
rm -R config.*Then run nmake. result is:

You're dev environment is not properly set up. You did not open it via 'Visual Studio command prompt' so the variables for your compiler are not there. Nothing Qt-related.

@Christian-Ehrlicher , where would I find that option? I've right clicked in the File Explorer and the only options appearing in the context menu are:
Open with Visual Studio Git GUI Here Git Bash HereMaybe something else the installer couldn't complete due to IT restrictions?

@KroMignon , excellent, thank you.

@KroMignon , now it all appears to have built without any issues, I'm using source that I wrote on my iMAC when doing the same thing, have put in the database details using driver name QMYSQL, but when I try to connect I get the output:
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7Kind Regards,

Whenever you getQMYSQL driver not loaded, start by setting environment variableQT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1, run application, look at diagnostic output, especially at end.@JonB said in Building database driver, IT difficulties:
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS
Thats easier said than done, on this system I cannot set environment variables....

That is an unusual statement, I have not heard of such a system. You will have problems if you cannot set environment variables....
You should be able to do so. Even if you have to write a one-line "wrapper" program....

You can do it with Qt-Creator: Projects / Build & Run, Select "Run", than in "Run Settings"/Environment you can add as many environment variable as you want => cf. https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-settings-environment.html

@JonB , tell me about it, please read the first post on this thread for more information.
@SPlatten
If you meanI cannot modify system environment variables
there is no need to set a system variable, only an environment variable for the duration of running your program. Either in a Command Prompt, or as @KroMignon wrote in Qt Creator if you are running from there. Or in a
.batscript, or in a one-line "wrapper" C/C++ program. heck, you're runningnmake, that I believe sets environment variables, you could even do so from there....And, depending on when Qt produces that runtime error, if it's on the statement which creates a
QSqlDatabase, as I think it might be, then you can just set the environment variable in the Qt program you are writing beforehand. -

@JonB , setting an environment variable doesn't help when Qt Creator is running at the system level. Any environment variable added to the console, is only visible to the environment of the console.

Have you only try it out?
Based on your first post on this thread, you are using Qt Creator 4.4.1.
Settings environment variables with QtCreator works for me, on any system I am using (WindowsXP/7/10 and Linux).
So I cannot imagine it will not work for you.It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)
