Problem in integration of the QT5GStreamer in the QT5

[Daniellopes]

Hello,
I'm trying to integrate the QT5GStreamer in my QT5.15.2 installed in a ubuntu machine. The QT5GStreamer was installed using the commands I got from here libqt5gstreamer-dev :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libqt5gstreamer-dev

After this step, i add the following definitions in my .pro file:

unix:CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
unix:PKGCONFIG += Qt5GStreamer-1.0

Even do not using any function or header file inclusion of the Qt5GStreamer, I have several issues during the compilation process:

Most of the issues are related to the QT5 libraries.
Everything runs fine if i remove the unix:PKGCONFIG += Qt5GStreamer-1.0 from .pro file.

What am I doing wrong?

@Daniellopes said in Problem in integration of the QT5GStreamer in the QT5:

sudo apt-get install libqt5gstreamer-dev

You installed qt5gstreamer from your Linux distribution. Do you also use Qt provided by your Linux distribution?

[Daniellopes]

@jsulm No, i got the QT5.15.2 from QT's website

[jsulm]

@Daniellopes Then sudo apt-get install libqt5gstreamer-dev is useless. Uninstall it.

[eyllanesc]

@Daniellopes I think libqt5gstreamer has been compiled with the Qt from the repository (when you use apt-get only the binaries are downloaded). Try downloading the source code https://github.com/GStreamer/qt-gstreamer and compiling it with the Qt 5.15.2 you have installed.

[Daniellopes]

@eyllanesc I will try. Thank you!

[Daniellopes]

Sorry, I'm a noob in this kind of process. I've followed the instructions described in the link @eyllanesc had posted. I'm using the cmake to generate the libraries. After uninstalling the old libraries and perform the CMake install, the issues remain. Should I use the qmake instead?

These are the executed commands:

git clone https://github.com/GStreamer/qt-gstreamer.git
cd qt-gstreamer
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DQT_VERSION=5 -DQTGSTREAMER_EXAMPLES=ON -DUSE_QT_PLUGIN_DIR=ON 
make
make install

[SGaist]

Hi,

Did you ensure that the build is using your Qt 5.15 installation ?

[Daniellopes]

In fact, i do not know. This is the cmakelists file:

I guess the function find_package(Qt4or5 COMPONENTS Core Gui Widgets OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS OpenGL Quick1 Quick2 Qml Test) is getting all the dependencies. Some of those are the QT libraries, right? But I don't know how can i ensure that it is using the QT5.15 in the code compiling. Is not set by that "-DQT_VERSION=5" argument in the cmake command?

cmake .. -DQT_VERSION=5 -DQTGSTREAMER_EXAMPLES=ON -DUSE_QT_PLUGIN_DIR=ON

You can use ccmake to check what was configured and modify there the paths to point to your ci custom Qt installation.

Otherwise you have to check the Qt4or5 finder script to see how to feed it the proper path.

@SGaist said in Problem in integration of the QT5GStreamer in the QT5:

Ok, I check the DIRS on ccmake and they were not using the Q5.15.2. However, the issues remain. This was the first state of the makeconfig file:

Then I've changed some directories and the configurations is this now:

When I press the "c" key to perform the configuration, the following message comes up:

CMake Warning at cmake/modules/FindQt4or5.cmake:79 (find_package):
   By not providing "FindQt5Declarative.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this

   (requested version 5.0.0) with any of the following names:

   "Qt5Declarative_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
   "Qt5Declarative" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it

After it I execute the make -j8 and the make install. Unfortunately, the issues did not disappear.

[JoeCFD]

add this -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/thirdParties/QtGstreamer to build it. It is better to install it under /opt/ since it is a customized build. Purge your old installation. Then link it to your app. I did this without issues.
