qsqlite driver not loaded but available drivers: QSQLITE

Mihan

Hi
I'm using IMX6 system but there is no libqsqlite.so in plugins/sqldrivers, so I cross-compiled the open source(Qt 5.6.2) to get it.

SQL drivers:
    DB2..............................no
    .
    .
    SQLlite..........................yes(plugin, using bundled copy)

after make && make install and copying the plugin into the embedded system, when running the project, it will show:

QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE

whst's the problem?

@Mihan What is the output of

ldd PATH_TO_QT/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so

on your device?
Also set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS before starting your app and check the output (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/debug.html).

Hi
The output of ldd libqsqlite.so is not a dynamic executable, here is the configuration.

NOTE: Qt is using double for qreal on this system. This is binary incompatible against Qt 5.1.
Configure with '-qreal float' to create a build that is binary compatible with 5.1.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into /home/Qt5.6-arm

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

the libqsqlite.so shows not a dynamic executable both on ubuntu and on the device.

the cross-compile tool's version is arm-2014.05

what's the meaning of the warning above?

jsulm

@Mihan This is strange.
What about "Also set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS before starting your app and check the output"?

Mihan

@jsulm
uh, I set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS then it shows

QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/usr/lib/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so" : "Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so: (/usr/lib/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so: internal error)"

how to check this internal error

jsulm

@Mihan To be sure: this is happening on your device and you compiled these libs for your device?
What does

file /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so

output?

Mihan

@jsulm
happening on device but the lib is cross-compiled on ubuntu.

The output of the command above is:

/usr/lib/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

jsulm

@Mihan Then I don't know. Maybe libqsqlite.so is corrupted?

Mihan

@jsulm I have no idea too :( , now I reinstall a new ubuntu 32bit for rebuilding them
