QMYSQL driver not loaded on Ubuntu

? Offline

Sorry but gives follow message :

root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake “INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql” “LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r” mysql.pro
***Unknown option -lmysqlclient_r”
Usage: /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

Mode:
-project Put qmake into project file generation mode
In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
be built,
defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
Note: The created .pro file probably will
need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
specify what modules are required.
-makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
file in your current working directory

Warnings Options:
-Wnone Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
later -W options
-Wall Turn on all warnings
-Wparser Turn on parser warnings
-Wlogic Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
-Wdeprecated Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)

Options:

You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be parsed *
before [files]. *
-o file Write output to file
-d Increase debug level
-t templ Overrides TEMPLATE as templ
-tp prefix Overrides TEMPLATE so that prefix is prefixed into the value
-help This help
-v Version information
-after All variable assignments after this will be
parsed after [files]
-norecursive Don't do a recursive search
-recursive Do a recursive search
-set <prop> <value> Set persistent property
-unset <prop> Unset persistent property
-query <prop> Query persistent property. Show all if <prop> is empty.
-cache file Use file as cache [makefile mode only]
-spec spec Use spec as QMAKESPEC [makefile mode only]
-nocache Don't use a cache file [makefile mode only]
-nodepend Don't generate dependencies [makefile mode only]
-nomoc Don't generate moc targets [makefile mode only]
-nopwd Don't look for files in pwd [project mode only]

remove -lmysqlclient_r

? Offline

Yes , Solved !
Thank you dear :)

SGaist

You're welcome !

Now that you have the plugin, can you please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

Hi SGaist,
i too faced this error and i did ldd libmysqlclient_r.so.16 and installed the dependency but still m getting this error QMYSQL driver not found available drivers QSQLITE.

SGaist

libmysqlclient_r.so.16 is the MySQL client library. What you should test is the Qt driver plugin. But based on available driver list, you don't have the MySQL plugin.

Malhar

@SGaist ok. Once i faced this problem and i solved installing dependency of .so file.
Now what should i do then.

SGaist

How did you install Qt ?

Malhar

using wget command "http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.1/5.1.0/qt-linux-opensource-5.1.0-x86_64-offline.run"

SGaist

You're aware that the current version is 5.5.1, aren't you ?

Malhar

yes i know about the latest version but my whole development is done on Qt5.1 so i dont want to change the version.

SGaist

Then you might have to build the plugin yourself.

Hello SGaist i'm a beginner to Qt.

I have QTPLUGIN += qsqlmysql and QT += sql in file .pro

when i try connect QMYSQL i got Error like :-

QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QPSQL QPSQL7
QSqlError("", "Driver not loaded", "Driver not loaded")

when i do
itas02@itas02:/opt/Qt5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/plugins/sqldrivers$ ldd libqsqlmysql.so
i got this
itas02@itas02:/opt/Qt5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/plugins/sqldrivers$ ldd libqsqlmysql.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff17fa3000)
libmysqlclient_r.so.16 => not found

libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f379c13e000)
how to get libmysqlclient_r.so ?

when i try to build qmake
by
$:/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# /home/../Qt5.7/5.7/gcc_64/bin/qmake “INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql” “LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql” mysql.pro
after entering make command

i'm getting like this

g++ -c -pipe -O2 -std=gnu++11 -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -D_REENTRANT -Wall -W -fPIC -DQT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII -DQT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -DQT_SQL_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I. -I/opt/Qt5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/include -I/opt/Qt5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/include/QtSql -I/opt/Qt5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/include/QtCore -I. -I/opt/Qt5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o main.o main.cpp

i have a mysql.h in /usr/include/mysql/

please let me know where i'm doing mistake are i missing any step.
thanks in advance

SGaist

How did you install the MySQL development package ?

And why are you using two different version of Qt ? You are inspecting one in /opt/ and you seem to be calling qmake from another install of Qt in your home folder.

chawila

Can someone help me here please...

i ran

qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro

And i got these error:

qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

What should i do?..

SGaist

Please don't highjack other people thread.

You are already getting answers on your other thread here.

And you should use the complete path to the qmake of the version of Qt you are trying to build the plugin for. Without the path, you are calling your distribution installed qmake. Furthermore this one is for Qt 4.
