Add QFTP module in qt5
-
Hello guys, i want to add QFTP module to qt5, after download the source file from github, what is the next steps ?
please try to be the most explicit step by step, 4 days past and i m blocked to add this module , thanks
note : don't tell me there is QNetworkAcessManager because i need the QFtp for list() method

What did you try exactly? What did not work?
I would simply trying to run qmake inside the source dir and/or create a separate build dir and call qmake from there with the path to the qtftp.pro file -

I cannot help you with how to get QFtp working, but....I know your question here comes as a result of your https://forum.qt.io/topic/104526/download-a-folder-with-qnetworkaccessmanager-instead-of-file. Before you have to commit to getting
QFtpto work, I did ask you there:That means you won't be able to get a list of folder contents from server so that you can then ask it to download each one. (Unless your attempt to
get()the folder URL returned anything like a list of files?)Did you check what your attempt to
get()the folder URL actually returns? You said "it diidn't work (to do the download)", but does it return anything? -

get() didn't return anything, i saw in other post that the only solution for my problem is to install QFTP

Just to let you know: once someone has helped you to get this compiled, for sample code which will copy a directory recursively viaQFtpsee http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1405552 (search forrecursively; code is old but principle is correct, hopefully it still works). Listing is also covered in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23067695/qt-4-7-how-to-iterate-through-files-in-an-ftp-directory. -
The readme states:
"Note: If you downloaded the source package from a hosting service
such as Gitorious, the package does not contain the generated headers
under the ./include directory. Before building, you'll need to generate
them manually by running the syncqt Perl script. For example:cd qtftp
<QTDIR>/bin/syncqt.pl -version 5.x.y"Qt Online Installer direct download: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/

I wonder how many Windows users will have Perl installed?! :) -
@JonB : if you want to compile Qt then you have to. And since QtFtp was a part of Qt and is now deprecated it's buildsystem was never ported away from this.

OIC, I have never compiled Qt, I did wonder whether that process might require Perl.
I remember when Perl was first invented, I had to compile it then :) -

Hi
yes it seems so to generate some important headers.
You can get it from here
