Qt6 porting, undefined symbol: _ZN10EngineBase16staticMetaObjectEHi

sebaro

Hi,
I'm trying to port an app from Qt5 to Qt6. The app is a media/music player with back-ends (mpv, vlc etc) built as libraries. The app and libraries build fine, the app starts and works but fails to load the back-end libraries.

 [Engine] Audio engine library directory: "/home/Apps/YaRock/Yarock_1.4.0_Sources_qt6/build/lib"
 [Engine] Try to load  "libenginempv.so"

Gentoo Linux, gcc-13, Qt versions 6.6.3 and 6.7.0.

I think it has something to do with the c++-17 standard, if I set it in CMakeLists.txt for the Qt5 code, I get the same error.

The back-ends code:

Thanks!

@sebaro check if your Engine class has Q_OBJECT macro in header. Looks like it might be missing.

sebaro

@sierdzio

The symbol is from engine_base which has the macro:

Adding it in engine doesn't help:

class Engine : public QObject

#endif // _ENGINE_H_

Thanks!

@sebaro
Just make sure you have done an absolutely full, clean rebuild. Best is to actually delete the build output (not the source!) directory completely and then do a complete rebuild. Spend a couple of minutes verifying that before continuing.

sebaro

@JonB

I use a build directory, and I clean it after each code change:

cd build
cmake ..
make

I replaced/removed deprecated and obsolete class members and changed the main and plugin cmake files:

I still think has something to do with the c++-17 standard, if I add these in the old code (qt5) I get the same undefined symbol:

set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)

Thanks

@sebaro said in Qt6 porting, undefined symbol: _ZN10EngineBase16staticMetaObjectEHi:

I clean it after each code change

And precisely what does that mean? I suggested you delete the build output directory. If something like make clean that may not be good enough. Just saying, up to you.

sebaro

@JonB

I delete the content of build directory, I don't use make clean. Every cmake/make is with an empty build directory.

JonB

@sebaro Fair enough.

Christian Ehrlicher

Simplify your testcase until you find the bug or you can post it here.

sierdzio

@sebaro you are not running moc anywhere, so meta object information is not generated.

In your cmake files, add this:

set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

sebaro

Automoc was set to true, added CMAKE_AUTOMOC:

set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
qt_standard_project_setup()
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(enginempv PROPERTIES AUTOMOC TRUE)

It's in the build progress "Automatic MOC and UIC":

Changing to the previous minimum required version of cmake fixes this:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.6)
#cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)

src/core/player/mpv/CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
#cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)

Seems to be this policy:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/policy/CMP0065.html

This fixed the issue with cmake 3.4+:
