Trying to build QMsgPack lib for Android 6.2.0 Clang arm64-v8a

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist out of source? im not good with this compiling / building lib thing

[SGaist]

Literally: "Do not build in the sources".

By default Qt Creator uses shadow builds which are out of source builds.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist

tick off this?

[SGaist]

On the contrary, keep it.

If you have already used it, then it's strange that building your application it looked for the library in the wrong place.

How are you pointing to it in your main project ?

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist the error comes from the trying to build the QMsgPack from the .pro file!

[SGaist]

There's an issue in the .pro file. It does not properly set dependencies so you might be building the tests before the library.

Either switch to cmake since Qt Creator also supports it or change the .pro file. See here.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist

here you mean?

[SGaist]

No, modify the qmsgpack.pro file content.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist this is the entire content for qmsgpack.pro

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    src \
    tests

[SGaist]

I know, and that's the one you need to modify in order to ensure that src is built before tests following the instructions in the wiki I linked in my previous message.

The alternative is to comment out tests and the backslash after src but you won't have the tests built.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist do i even need the tests? :S

[SGaist]

Technically it ensures that the library is working properly if they run.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist ah, cause i tested now with "tests" commented out and all i got was

[SGaist]

Did you also comment out the \ as suggested ?

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist i did it like this

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    src
    #tests

[SGaist]

Did you do a full rebuild ? Meaning, nuking the build folder completely.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist yupp! deleted it and the rebuild it

[Kris Revi]

im still at a loss here :/ any help would be awsome!

[SGaist]

Put back the tests.

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    src \
    tests

tests.depends = src

And select a test as build target.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist "And select a test as build target." ? :S how do i do that?
