Issue with QtCharts in Qt6.1.1

[SGaist]

Don't build directly in the root of your sources. You should at least create a build folder and run cmake from there.

As for the error, pass the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH pointing to where your Qt 6 cmake files are located.

Hello again,
I'm not terribly experienced in using CMake, so this is what I did, but unfortunately there are more errors:

mkdir build

use cmake-gui and you can easily find and solve problems

[ringlery]

I used cmake-gui, as suggested and manually set the Qt6*_DIR variables to the appropriate values (otherwise errors are produced as the directories aren't identified). The build process completes and installs properly, but I get the same errors when trying to compile my application.

I tried compiling an example that uses QtCharts (datetimeaxis), and that works. I do have some forms that use a QChartView widget. Since the errors are popping up in the generated ui_*.h files, do you think that this is somehow related?

[SGaist]

How did you put the charts through designer ?
Using promotion ?

[ringlery]

I believe so...it's been a while since I touched the forms, but that rings a bell. Maybe I need to delete it and try the same process in case there's some legacy code still lurking in the background.

[ringlery]

When I use the "promote" option in Designer I can now see where the reference to chartsnamespace.h is coming from (see attachment).

[ringlery]

Ok, solved! I had to reset the the promotion values as described here. I'm attaching a screenshot for reference in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

[SGaist]

Great !

Thanks for the feedback.

Since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :-)

@SGaist Done. Thanks for you help!
