Installing QtVirtualKeyboard on a Qt Widget App

Now I'm trying to compile the source code for the keyboard

It would be actually easier to install Qt Virtual Keyboard instead.
How did you install Qt and on which OS?

[Deneguil]

@jsulm I'm on a raspberry pi 4 running raspbian, and to be honest I'm not sure how Qt was installed it was already on it when given to me for the project and the person who installed it forgot how he did it

[jsulm]

@Deneguil Are you cross-compiling?
To install virtual keyboard on RaspberryPI install these packages using apt:

• libqt5virtualkeyboard5
• libqt5virtualkeyboard5-dev

[Deneguil]

@jsulm It's for an embedded app so it'll only run on a raspberry
Thank you for the packages, I now need to add QT += virtualkeyboard in the .pro file and create an input panel to use the keyboard right?

[jsulm]

@Deneguil yes

[Deneguil]

@jsulm thank you you've helped me a lot the keyboard works I only need to style it now

QT += virtualkeyboard
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: virtualkeyboard
In My case , this will error will generated
OS : linux (I am using a imx board for crosscompiling)
Qt5

@nadimnadaf If you read this thread you will see what the solution was.
Did you try that?

[nadimnadaf]

@jsulm Yes

Hi,

So what exactly did you do to install Qt on your target ?
Use distribution packages ?
Deployed your cross-compiled Qt ?
If the latter, did you cross-compile the module as well ?

Its a Yocto Setup.

Then you also have to build QtVirtualKeyboard module using Yocto I guess
