QtCharts module not found even after installing in Qt Maintenance
-
Despite my attempts at installing
QtCharts, this module just won't be imported.From these two questions:
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41625233/how-to-include-the-qtcharts-library-in-qt-creator-4-2-0-community
- https://forum.qt.io/topic/85368/how-to-inclide-include-qtcharts-library-to-qt-project
And the docs : https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcharts-index.html
I've already included
QtChartswhen using Qt Maintenance (I even re-checked it three times):
And restarted QtCreator twice, but it still showed the same error:
What I'm I doing wrong here? Should I reinstall Qt and start with a fresh copy to see if the error reappear?

You can add a custom step to call "jom install".

Hi,
Isn't that a source install and you should build/install it before you can use it ?
Which version of Qt are you using ?

For the first question, umm, if you mean if I've installed Qt, then yes, I have (otherwise I don't understand this question).
Second question, I'm using QtCreator 4.14.2 and Qt 5.15.2 (MSVC 2019, 64 bit). -
I meant the Qt charts module. From the looks of it, you get the sources of it. So you have to first build and install it before using it.
-
You can open the .pro file in Qt Creator to build it with the Qt version(s) you want to use.
You can add a custom step to call "jom install".
-
I the Qt Creator documentation.

I have the same problem.
Suspiciously, installation of QtCharts module takes zero bytes!
Here's the output from console usage of maintenace tool.

Search finds no files or folders in QT directory, containing "*charts".
Something is definitely broken in maintenance tool.
Trying to install another module, e.g. DataVisualization gives the same result. -

Should be located in your sources folder.

@artwaw
Do you mean I have to manually clone it fromn the repo and build it myself?
Why then is it listed as installable module in maintenace tool?
Why 99% of the answers on SO recommend installing it via Maintenace tool then? See topicstarter's SO post and links therein.
This is misguiding. -
@deadundead You already have source installed via maintenance tool. I presume you just need to open the project .pro file, build, install/deploy/copy to Qt bin folders.
-
Somebody please post clear instructions. I just started working with QT a few days ago.
I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and I installed QtCreator with the offline installer. I tried using the maintenance tool to install charts but it still says "module not found". -
@arunkumaraqm I'm on Windows, but i was able:
- To build charts from the official repo.
- After I have finally tortured my OS to death and did a clean reinstall of windows and everything, I managed to install charts correctly. The thing is, there are 2 places you can install QtCharts from. The first way is from "additional libraries", which is supposed to be the source install, I think. However I was unable to locate the sources on my PC and got them from the repo.
The second one is the binary install from Qt->Your version of QT section. And that had just simply worked.
That was the answer I was trying to push for, cus on SO you clearly see "just install via Maintenace tool", without any mentions of building it from source.

@deadundead the one and only solution that solved my problem. youre my god.

@deadundead thank you :)
