Testing example minimal.pro fails with a fatal compile error
-
Hello I am testing some of the examples using Webengine,WebAssembley and other components.
The project I downloaded and tried to compile is called minimal.pro.I have all the modules needed installed into this copy of Qt 6.4.3.
When I hit compile I get this Fatal error which stops the compiling.
:-1: error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets
Here is the .pro file for it and I am wondering if I have to install all the
components somewheres in a folder that is referenced .
target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/webenginewidgets/minimalI could not find instructions on how to make these examples work and NO working compiled ones to learn from. I am wondering what step had told to me PUT these files into that folder location (/webenginewidgets/minimal) in the first place as I can't find the folders anywhere on my computer.
I am looking for a minimal install of a browser and would like to know if the target path in the project file is causing the fatal error??? I would like to use the code inside the same Widget base project that I have already created , but I will link to the code created thru a named pipe or socket if I find I really need to.minimal.pro
TEMPLATE = app
QT += webenginewidgets
SOURCES += main.cpp
target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/webenginewidgets/minimal
INSTALLS += target -

@Lineaxe Are you really sure you installed the Qt Webengine Widgets module? And do you have another Qt version installed?
Hello ,I went into maintenance and loaded all the modules needed I believe.
here is what I have, I cannot find a Widgets module to install Anywhere with the choices that I am given. I have successfully used Qt WebSockets in other projects.
MSVC 2019 64 bit
MInGW 11.20 64bit
Qt Positioning
Qt WebChannel
Qt WebEngine
Qt WebSockets
Qt WebView -

@Lineaxe said in Testing example minimal.pro fails with a fatal compile error:
MSVC 2019 64 bit
MInGW 11.20 64bitYou show two compilers. Which one do you use where? Qt Web Engine under Windows requires MSVC, not MinGW, compiler.
yes I had tried compiling it under that compiler& kit but had problems with using it as it has an exclamation mark in red with no explanation of what (module) it wants?
it says : No compiler can create code for this Qt version? s
What am I supposed to do with that message, I wonder?The other compiler I think is required for the Windows forms and whatnot to compile but I am not sure that it would not compile with MSVC after all the other issues get resolved :)

Hi,
Are you really trying to use the webengine module for an application that you want to build for the WebAssembly platform ?

@SGaist
No, these projects will be separate and I plan to use inter-process communication between the separate exe files. Probably a pipe or socket of some type.I have not compiled anything using the Web engine yet . From what I have read up on it so far I will have to compile it separately from my forms-based (widgets) project.
Now, In this thread I did type in both compiler names as they are the choices which came up when I was fooling around and trying to compile the output.
I think I must be missing a link to the proper compiler for the MSVC 2019 64 bit or something of that nature since it is flagging an error saying it can't find one. -

Hi I am using Qt and did not know I needed to install another IDE such as Visual Studio. I already have Atom and Eclipse installed and am trying to keep overall memory usage down on this computer. I could uninstall Atom I guess for a while If I do need Visual Studio to compile and run these examples.
Now the C++ tools should be 'free' to download I would think :) I will go hunt for
Visual Studio C++ tools .
Glad to see you are still one of the Gurus around these parts :)
MSVC = MicrosoftVisualC++ or something like that ? -

MSVC = MicrosoftVisualC++ or something like that ?@Lineaxe you do not need visual studio "the ide" to be installed currently. Microsoft has split of the C++ tools in a separate package that you can install directly so you don't have to get the whole thing as it was a long time ago.
Yes but in separate words.

@SGaist
Hi, I do remember that they did that split . The tools portion is fairly large by itself, but I am also tempted to look over the IDE as it has been some time. Overall, I am just a Hobby type of programmer & lately I have been playing around in Lua code ~for the dcs online flight sim's missions . I was impressed with the language itself :) Anyhow,not using the Atom IDE lately, so a quick switch to Visual Studio sounds like a plan. Maybe it will install a bunch of it onto the 2nd drive (a SSD) !
Qt 6.4 itself is looking pretty kewl, a lot more features than the last time I programmed in C++ .
