QGeoPositioning on OS X

mcosta

Hi guys,

it's possible to read positioning/satellite info from Qt on OSX?
At the moment

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    qDebug() << "Position Sources: " << QGeoPositionInfoSource::availableSources();
    qDebug() << "Satellite Sources: " << QGeoSatelliteInfoSource::availableSources();

    return app.exec();
}

In that case I get both position sources and satellite sources lists empty.

I'm using Qt 5.5.0 installed by installer.
Should I build something (or all Qt sources) or is not possible to use it from OS X?

The alternative way is to implement my source classes using Native API

Thanks in advance

Hi,

AFAIK, there's no backend currently for OS X, so you could write it and submit for inclusion :)

Hi,

I was able to build the iOS plugin for OSX and it works.

Then you can use that knowledge to add OS X to the backend list
