"xllextras module not found" error when compiling qt-creator-2.8.0

[AlanF00]

I seem to have successfully compiled qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0 on my employer's workstation (running RHEL5), but am having problems with qt-creator-2.8.0.

I say that I "seem" to have successfully compiled qt-everywhere, because after the compilation ran to completion with no errors (after a bit of work), there was no binary named "designer" in the "....qtbase/bin" directory. This differs from when I successfully compiled qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2 a couple of weeks ago, along with qt-creator-2.7.1. I know this worked because it ran ok, and I was able to test some tutorials.

Given the above, when in the "qt-creator-2.8.0.src" directory I execute "<path-to-qmake>/qmake -r", I get a few lines like "Reading ..." and then this error:

"Project WARNING: xllextras module not found, raising the main window might not work. (The xllextras module is part of Qt 5.1 and later.)
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script"

Any clues about what's going on?

I can't find any references to "xllextras" by googling, so I'm stuck.

The missing "designer" binary suggests a broken compilation.

You said "the compilation ran to completion with no errors (after a bit of work)"... what work was that? (it should've been straightforward -- if you had to do extra hacks, it sounds like something went wrong)

Try cleaning your build tree, re-configuring and re-compiling.

If that still doesn't work, please post your configure options and configure output.

It's X11 (x-one-one) by the way.

The "bit of work" involved disabling openssl compilation.

I decided to start from scratch so as to reproduce the problems I saw.
"From scratch" means removing the source directories and untarring again.
Here's what I got:

First try for qt-everywhere:

./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests -confirm-license
gmake

This resulted in some errors:

Reconfigure and compile with -no-openssl flag:

cd ~/QT/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0/qtbase
gmake confclean
cd ..
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests -confirm-license -no-openssl
gmake

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'gmake'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should not run 'gmake install'.

This time I ended up with "designer" in the bin directory, so I went on to compile qt-creator:

cd qt-creator-2.8.0-src
/home/afbacher/QT/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0/qtbase/bin/qmake -r
make

This resulted in some errors:

#############

The fact that the first compile try without the -no-openssl flag
produced errors containing some references similar to the failed
compile with qt-creator -- namely, "QtSharedPointer" -- is
suggestive to me of a common problem. Of course, I have no clue
what that is.

Suggestions?

Hmm... looks quite strange.

Do you have OpenSSL libraries installed?

Do you have another version of Qt in your environment? If so, that might be interfering with your build attempt.

[AlanF00]

[quote]Do you have OpenSSL libraries installed?[/quote]

Yes. My sysadmin checked that. Also, a few weeks ago I sucessfully compiled qt-5.0.2, which I'm sure depends on OpenSSL.

[quote]Do you have another version of Qt in your environment?[/quote]

Yes, the 5.0.2 version. However, it's not installed in any standard locations, but only in the 5.0.2 directories. For example, "which qtcreator" and "which designer" don't find those binaries, since they're only in "....5.0.2....qtbase/bin".

[JKSH]

I'm at a loss, sorry -- never seen this before.

Try asking at IRC or the "Interest mailing list":http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest

[goblincoding]

I realise this is an old post, but for future reference, in case anybody runs into a similar issue, I found that the error results from using qmake from <yourQtSource>/qtbase/bin instead of /usr/local/YourQt/bin
