Building the QIBASE driver

[SPopov]

Good day!
I need to build a driver for Interbase (versions 7.5 and 2017) to use them in PyQt. I guess the process is the same, but suddenly there are subtleties.
Data:

• Windows 10
• Qt 5.12.11 (MinGW 32-bit and MinGW 64-bit installed)
• Interbase 7.5 - installed in the c:\Program Files (x86)\Borland\InterBase
• Interbase 2017 - installed in the c:\InterBase

Based on the assembly description on the page (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qibase), perform the following operations:

cd "c:/Qt/Qt5.12.11/5.12.11/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/ibase/"
qmake -- IBASE_INCDIR=c:\InterBase\SDK\include\

I get the error:

Cannot read C:/Qt/Qt5.12.11/5.12.11/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/qtsqldrivers-config.pri: No such file or directory
Project ERROR: Library 'ibase' is not defined.

ibase.pro standard:

TARGET = qsqlibase

HEADERS += $$PWD/qsql_ibase_p.h
SOURCES += $$PWD/qsql_ibase.cpp $$PWD/main.cpp

# FIXME: ignores libfb (unix)/fbclient (win32) - but that's for the test anyway
QMAKE_USE += ibase

OTHER_FILES += ibase.json

PLUGIN_CLASS_NAME = QIBaseDriverPlugin
include(../qsqldriverbase.pri)

After looking at the thread (https://forum.qt.io/topic/75419/ibase-sql-plugin-build-error/3) I tried to set the variables:

QMAKE_INCDIR_IBASE += c:\InterBase\SDK\include
QMAKE_LIBDIR_IBASE += c:\InterBase\SDK\lib
QMAKE_LIBS_IBASE += c:\InterBase\SDK\lib

I get the error:

Cannot read C:/Qt/Qt5.12.11/5.12.11/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/qtsqldrivers-config.pri: No such file or directory

Please tell me. Perhaps I am specifying the wrong values.

@SPopov said in Building the QIBASE driver:

cd "c:/Qt/Qt5.12.11/5.12.11/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/ibase/"

You did not follow the documentation:

cd $QTDIR/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thanks! Silly mistake, I will continue to tune
