qt 5.15.2 everywhere - Could not find Qt5ThemeSupport

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD Is it possible as well I have this bug because I set a temporary prefix into an another directory (I set --prefix=/tmp/ism/builtsoftwares/opt/qt5) ?
I did that because I didn't found any support under qt for the DESTDIR variable

[JoeCFD]

@Fulgurance prefix is normally installation destination. Your build is looking for Qt5 and its env variables are not set. That is my understanding.

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD I tried both of your solutions, no one solved my problems, got same error again.

I forgot to provide you one more information, my environment.

This is my /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/qt5.sh files:

@Fulgurance said in qt 5.15.2 everywhere - Could not find Qt5ThemeSupport:

QT5DIR

libQt5ThemeSupport has only a static one, no dynamic so. Does it matter in your build?
And Qt5ThemeSupport_LIBRARY can not be found with PKG_CONFIG_PATH because
$QT5DIR/lib/pkgconfig does not have Qt5ThemeSupport.pc

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD Is it a problem if I would like libQt5ThemeSupport as dynamic library ?

Anyway, how can I fix this problem ? I am a bit lost now.

Is it possible for example to build Qt and make it generate Qt5ThemeSupport.pc ?

[JoeCFD]

@Fulgurance not sure why it is built that way. You can link a static one to your app. Simply set the right path.

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD How can I proceed ? I am not familiar with Cmake.

It's very strange only this part of Qt was generated.
It's very annoying for me because actually all of my system work with dynamic libraries

[JoeCFD]

@Fulgurance
add this in your cmake
target_link_libraries( ${PROJECT_NAME} $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )
together with other lib links.

remove all other settings for Qt5::ThemeSupport. you may need include path as well. I do not know.

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD said in qt 5.15.2 everywhere - Could not find Qt5ThemeSupport:

target_link_libraries( ${PROJECT_NAME} $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )

I have this error when I included what you said:

root [ /sources/KdeSoftwares-Main/Plasma-Integration/5.22.4/plasma-integration-5.22.4/

See also "/sources/KdeSoftwares-Main/Plasma-Integration/5.22.4/plasma-integration-5.22.4/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

I put it just before the CMakeLists file is looking for this library:

# dependencies for QPA plugin
target_link_libraries( PlasmaIntegration $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )
find_package(Qt5ThemeSupport REQUIRED)
set(QT5PLATFORMSUPPORT_LIBS Qt5ThemeSupport::Qt5ThemeSupport)

But to be honest I would like to know why didn't generate this library as dynamic. It can be again a problem for me later

[JoeCFD]

@Fulgurance
find and set are not needed. It has been hard-coded.

# dependencies for QPA plugin
message(  "qt dir = $ENV{QT5DIR}" )
target_link_libraries( PlasmaIntegration $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )

is the path $ENV{QT5DIR} correct?
add message to check it out.
echo $QT5DIR

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD said in qt 5.15.2 everywhere - Could not find Qt5ThemeSupport:

message( "qt dir = $ENV{QT5DIR}" )
target_link_libraries( PlasmaIntegration $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )

So I removed find and set and added your code, this is the result:

root [ /sources/KdeSoftwares-Main/Plasma-Integration/5.22.4/plasma-integration-5.22.4/
build ]# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kf5 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTING=off -Wno-dev ..

qt dir = /opt/qt5

build ]# echo $QT5DIR
/opt/qt5

So qt dir point to /opt/qt5.

Have you got an idea why Qt generate libQtThemeSupport as static library ?

[JoeCFD]

@Fulgurance said in qt 5.15.2 everywhere - Could not find Qt5ThemeSupport:

Cannot specify link libraries for target "PlasmaIntegration" which is not
built by this project

An important detail is to place target_link_libraries after the add_executable.
Did you add
~~
target_link_libraries( PlasmaIntegration $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )
~~
after

add_executable( ... )

like
~~
add_executable( ... )
target_link_libraries( PlasmaIntegration $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )
~~

I have no idea why. But does it matter?

[Fulgurance]

@JoeCFD I don't have any line like:

add_executable

@Fulgurance said in qt 5.15.2 everywhere - Could not find Qt5ThemeSupport:

sudo apt-get install fonts-noto

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fonts-noto

if there is still error when the file is put to the end of the cmake file, that could mean you have a few cmake files. Try
grep -RHi add_executable
to find which cmake file has add_executable. Then add
target_link_libraries( PlasmaIntegration $ENV{QT5DIR}/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a )
just below that line in that file.

I finally found how to do, just pass explicitely some libraries dir to cmake:

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kf5
                            -DQt5ThemeSupport_LIBRARY=/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5ThemeSupport.a
                            -DQt5ThemeSupport_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/qt5/include/QtThemeSupport/5.15.2
                            -DQt5DBus_DIR=/opt/qt5/lib/cmake/Qt5DBus
                            -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
                            -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
                            -Wno-dev

It was a bit tricky to be honest. Thanks for your help
