THANK YOU SO MUCH! That solved the Camera class problem.

Bu a similar error occured this time. qcamereviewfinder.h also should be added.

How can i add it?

CMakeList.txt file:

# Find Qt5 libraries
find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  Core
  Qml
  Quick
  Widgets
  Multimedia
)
find_package(Qt5Multimedia REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  QCamera
  QCameraViewfinder
  QCameraInfo
  QCameraImageCapture
)

This is useless

Did you add
qt5_use_modules(talker_wig Core Widgets Multimedia) and qt5_use_modules(listener_wig Core Widgets Multimedia)

[aliemrenebiler]

@VRonin Yeah it was, we deleted that part.

And also yes, we added
qt5_use_modules(talker_wig Core Widgets Multimedia) and qt5_use_modules(listener_wig Core Widgets Multimedia)

[VRonin]

I suspect something might be going wrong in qt5_wrap_ui just to confirm this is the case, could you add #include <QCameraViewFinder> in one of your cpp files and see if that works?

Do you really need to support CMake 2.8.3 or is it an example you downloaded and it's not a hard requirement?

[aliemrenebiler]

@VRonin We already added QCameraViewFinder but it is #include <QCameraViewfinder> with "f".

CMake version is not important, it was in the example.

Full code where QCameraViewfinder exist:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

#include <QCameraViewfinder>
#include <QCameraInfo>
#include <QtWidgets>

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QCameraInfo)

    for (const QCameraInfo &cameraInfo : availableCameras) {
        QAction *videoDeviceAction = new QAction(cameraInfo.description(), videoDevicesGroup);
        videoDeviceAction->setCheckable(true);
        videoDeviceAction->setData(QVariant::fromValue(cameraInfo));
        if (cameraInfo == QCameraInfo::defaultCamera())
            videoDeviceAction->setChecked(true);
    }
    connect(videoDevicesGroup, &QActionGroup::triggered, this, &MainWindow::updateCameraDevice);

Edit: Oops, I see VRonin, already mentioned this above.

Make sure to also add it to a target_link_libraries statement in your CMakeLists.txt project file, e.g.:

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} Qt5::Multimedia)

This does end up affecting the include directories too which I hadn't expected.

@VRonin sorry but that didn't work :(

Makefile:145: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
Invoking "make -j8 -l8" failed

We just discovered that we don't need CameraViewfinder. We completely deleted it from mainwindow.cpp but still ui_mainwindow.h sees it.

In file included from /home/aliemre/QTCreator_Files/aliemre_ws/src/ROS-QML-Deneme-V5/ROS_QML_Example-master/src/mainwindow.cpp:2:0:

This is not a great error, did it spit out anything more detailed and useful?

ui_mainwindow.h sees it.

Can you post the contents of it?

[aliemrenebiler]

@VRonin ui_mainwindow.h is not a library file, it is basicly "mainwindow.ui"

After I wrote that, I discovered that qcameraviewfinder.h is neccessary. I added it again and will try to implement other things on your CMakeList.txt, I will post it later.

[EDIT]
I tried to add it like this.

find_package(Qt5Multimedia REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  qcameraviewfinder.h
)

[aliemrenebiler]

I will close this section and start a new one.
