Hi,

That part comes from KDE, I would recommend also checking with them.

@Paul-Colby if you have any insights, can you please help me with this

Ok, just to finalize this. Instead of the cmake code I attached above to link FFmpeg libraries, I used the same FindFFmpeg.cmake file that used by OBS Studio project on GitHub, and it worked as expected!

I don't know what is the difference yet, I need to read through it carefully and find the differences.

I'm hoping for an answer on this. Here is a screenshot of the QT Maintenance Tool.

Shouldn't I see a way to install the QT Multimedia component here? I have a red arrow where I would have assumed I'd see it (I've seen examples on the web with screenshots showing it.) I have 6.3.1 installed.

Thanks,

@Christian-Ehrlicher True it is a taste thing. We did this long long ago and have got used to it.
I rechecked the usage of file. If all file names are explicitly added, GLOB is not needed.
It is also true that GLOB is not recommended. However, since we have a lot of files, it was simply applied. One problem is that some files are not used and will be included automatically in the project

Are you using Qt build for android? It is normally under android_* dir and is different from normal build.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
This was the full messages that it printed.

I deleted the CMakeLists.txt.user file and reconfigured it from scratch. Now it builds fine and it works like expected.
Thank you so much for your time and your help.

assuming it is the same in Qt 6.2 as in Qt 5.15

main app icon:

// main.cpp // path to image of .qrc file app.setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/logo_square.png"));

for the interactive app icon (e.g. on Ubuntu in the top right corner, on Windows bottom right corner):

// main.qml SystemTrayIcon { id: appIconWithContextMenu visible: true // url to file inside of .qrc icon.source: "qrc:/images/logo_square.png" tooltip: "My App Name" menu: Menu { MenuItem { text: qsTr("Quit") onTriggered: Qt.quit() } MenuItem { text: qsTr("Some Action") onTriggered: { // e.g. trigger a synchronization feature or anything else } } } }

You can select in your IDE which program should be run. The IDE will not run more than one executable.
You can run all tests on the command line with 'make test' or 'cmake --test' (iirc)

@SGaist @mchinand Thank you so much. Unit testing is a new concept for me and I am trying to learn how to do it and best practices.

The solution was to install cmake 3.24.2. This fixes the compilation process.

Well I feel a bit silly, but I thought I had tried that. Seems to work now though.

Hello @kkoehne
Thank you for thi really quick reply!
I've run Clear CMake Configuration and it worked!

Quick note: Just after clearing CMake Configuration the build was failling with some error message including: "Could not load cache".
I've just restarted QtCreator and everything was fine.

If it's a library that uses CMake, it's usually pretty straightforward. For glfw, which is one you appear to be using, see its CMake documentation

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Just keep using cmake.

Here for Qt 5

Here for Qt 6

@LoveAndMercy said in Could not find a configuration file for package "Qt6" that is compatible with requested version "".:

set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:\Qt\6.3.1\mingw_64")

Sorry i forgot to change my set path back, here the original version:

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:/Qt/6.3.1/mingw_64")

@ben-cottrell You should check the config.log file - it should give you more information about the issue (probably something is missing).

Hi,

Are you using the same stack on macOS ?

@Kevin470 said in How to rename Target Executable using CMake in Qt6?:

Is there some information that I am missing?

Yes, how targets work in CMake. In what you posted above, however, everything is straightforward. Just do a find-and-replace for all instances of ProjectName1 to ProjectName2
