QtCharts module not found even after installing in Qt Maintenance

@SGaist

Could you specify what command to insert and where to insert it?

@SGaist said in QtCharts module not found even after installing in Qt Maintenance:

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

After the build step

I have the same problem.
Suspiciously, installation of QtCharts module takes zero bytes!

Here's the output from console usage of maintenace tool.

After many-many times of reinstalling the module nothing changed.
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.

@SGaist said in QtCharts module not found even after installing in Qt Maintenance:

you have to first build and install it before using it

Should be located in your sources folder.

[deadundead]

@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".

[deadundead]

@arunkumaraqm I'm on Windows, but i was able:

1. To build charts from the official repo.
2. 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.
