Installing Problems with Qt OPC UA 5.15.2

Mauda

Hello Community,

my Operating System is:

Linux 64 Bit
Xubuntu 20.04
Qt 5.15.2

I have tried to install the Qt OPC UA Plug-In Version 5.15.2 by using the following instructions:

https://blog.basyskom.com/building-qt-opc-ua-with-open62541/

git clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qtopcua.git
cd qtopcua
git checkout 5.15.2
mkdir build && cd build
~/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake ..
make
sudo make install

After compiling the code with the Linux terminal, I get the following error message:

In file included from /home/user/qtopcua/src/opcua/x509/qopcuax509certificatesigningrequest.cpp:38:
/home/user/qtopcua/src/opcua/x509/openssl_symbols_p.h:59:10: fatal error: openssl/asn1.h: file or path not found
   59 | #include <openssl/asn1.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

make[1]: path „/home/user/qtopcua/build/src“ wird verlassen
make: *** [Makefile:50: sub-src-make_first] Error 2

I checked my openssl version. I have installed openssl 1.1 .
So what is the reason why it is not finding the openssl/asn1.h file ?
Are there any problems linked with the Qt Version 5.15.2 ?

How I can I solve this ?

Thank you very much!

There's no development distribution of Xubuntu.

You need the OpenSSL development package. Look for libssl-dev.

SGaist

Hi,

Do you have the OpenSSL development package installed ?

Mauda

Hallo sGaist,

according to the terminal I have installed the OpenSSL version 1.1.1 on my virtual machine.

After checking Qt Maintenance Tool, there is a also a hook at the check box "OpenSSL 1.1.1d Toolkit".
So the OpenSSL development package should be installed... Is there any other way how to check if it is installed ?

Thank you in advance!

It should be under : Qt/Tools

On windows i had to pass the path to OpenSSL to my qmake command like this :

qmake "INCLUDEPATH+= C:\Qt\Tools\OpenSSL\Win_x64\include\openssl" ..

Hello LeLev,

my OpenSSL Installation is in the following forlder:
/home/user/Qt/Tools/OpenSSL/binary

Refering your qmake command:

qmake "INCLUDEPATH+= C:\Qt\Tools\OpenSSL\Win_x64\include\openssl"

how should I give the command to qmake during the build process ?

@Mauda sry i don't know Linux
maybe qmake "INCLUDEPATH+= \home\user\Qt\Tools\OpenSSL\include" .. ?
this should point to the folder where asn1.h is located

Mauda

@LeLev thanks but it doesn´t work with that

SGaist

@LeLev paths on Unix systems use forward slashes.

@Mauda your distribution provides several types of packages, the standard to use from a user point of view and the corresponding development packages for librairies when you do development. In your case you likely have only the former currently installed, so search for the later with your package manager and install it.

By the way which distribution are you running ?

Mauda

@SGaist
My Distribution is Xubuntu 20.04.
I installed the synaptic package manager ... which packages do I have to install to get the development distribution of Xubuntu 20.04 ?

SGaist

There's no development distribution of Xubuntu.

You need the OpenSSL development package. Look for libssl-dev.

Mauda

@SGaist this suggestion helped! I downloaded the OpenSSL development package:

libssl-dev

The Installation was successful and I have Access to the full Qt OPC UA 5.15.2 Library now.
Thank you very much!

@Mauda This works but with no "\openssl" at the end i.e.
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+= C:\Qt\Tools\OpenSSL\Win_x64\include" ..
