Error with QML demo minehunt on OS X

2IZI4U

Hello everyone !

I have some trouble to run the minehunt demo project.
I have installed the Qt 4.7 package and installed Qt Creator 2.1.0-beta1

The error message I have is:
File error for URL file:///Developer/Examples/Qt/Demos/declarative/minehunt-build-desktop/minehunt.app/Contents/MacOS/minehunt.qml

I hope someone could help me on this because I would like to make an application in C++ with a really nice GUI like with Quick

Regards,
Guillaume

on winxp, demo says I have to compile this program to run

I loaded this in creator and compiled without issues, but when I launched, just a blank window comes up ...

"just a blank window comes up …"

Same thing but I have the error describe before...

Make sure that you have the all the .qml and image files etc under the same directory as where the compiled binary is located. E.g. windows makes those xxx-build-desktop directories during compile and puts the binary there in debug or release subdirectory. This is a bit annoying since then you have to copy all the "not-compiled" stuff there also. You could also put all the .qml and image files into a resource file and have moc bake them into your binary, but then all the file loading references must be adjusted accordingly.

Hy Johannes thank you for your replay.

I have open the .pro file of minehunt, then I have copy all .qml file in the directory "minehunt-build-desktop" then I have build the project and I get the same error :s

That's quite sad that Qml projects do not work automagicly with the Qt project

Anyway, I think Qml doesn't really feat my technical needs :(

Thank you anyway for you answer ;)

hi 2IZI4U,
in the project mode, I went and changed from "minehunt-build-desktop" to "minehunt" ... i.e. the same folder and it worked just fine.

thanks Johannes! :)

Well played Chetan, but for me still the same problem with the new path:

<Unknown File>: File error for URL file:///Developer/Examples/Qt/Demos/declarative/minehunt/minehunt.app/Contents/MacOS/minehunt.qml

There is really a problem with the Qml file :(

If I'm the only one on OSX to have this problem don't waste your time to solve it, I will continue to look but really QML is not for me :(

I wouldn't give up so easily on Qml ... something really good I've seen in a long time. And you will be seeing lot of this on both desktop and mobile platforms going fwd ... :)

Yes that's right, I have forget that QML is after all just a QWidget (if I'm right) so I can put it in my Qt desktop project.

For that I will need an exemple ... like minehunt ;)
At least I can read the source code :D
