"Qt5GStreamer-1.0 development package not found"


  • Hi, I want to use qt-gstreamer-1.2.0.
    So I installed qt-gstreamer and open qt-gstreamer example "player.pro" in Qt5.5.1.

    And I tried to build it. But I got the message:
    :-1: error: Qt5GStreamer-1.0 development package not found

    player.pro:

    # This is a qmake project file, provided as an example on how to use qmake with QtGStreamer.

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = player

# produce nice compilation output
CONFIG += silent

# Tell qmake to use pkg-config to find QtGStreamer.
CONFIG += link_pkgconfig

# Now tell qmake to link to QtGStreamer and also use its include path and Cflags.
contains(QT_VERSION, ^4\\..*) {
  PKGCONFIG += QtGStreamer-1.0 QtGStreamerUi-1.0
}
contains(QT_VERSION, ^5\\..*) {
  PKGCONFIG += Qt5GStreamer-1.0 Qt5GStreamerUi-1.0
  QT += widgets
}

# Recommended if you are using g++ 4.5 or later. Must be removed for other compilers.
#QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++0x

# Recommended, to avoid possible issues with the "emit" keyword
# You can otherwise also define QT_NO_EMIT, but notice that this is not a documented Qt macro.
DEFINES += QT_NO_KEYWORDS

# Input
HEADERS += mediaapp.h player.h
SOURCES += main.cpp mediaapp.cpp player.cpp

    Also, I modified environment variables at .bashrc file:
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/home/hoyoung/qt-gstreamer/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/:home/hoyoung/Qt5.5.1/5.5/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/

    export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR:/home/hoyoung/qt-gstreamer/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/:/home/hoyoung/Qt5.5.1/5.5/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig/

    I would appreciate any kind of help.

    Did you install qt-gstreamer-dev package?

    0 2 Replies

  • @jsulm Yes, I installed it:

    sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0*
    sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0*

    And I also installed qt-gstreamer-1.2.0 at ~/qt-gstreamer

    Hi,

    Did you tell pkg-config where to find QtGstream .pc files?

    0 1 Reply

  • @SGaist
    There are 'Qt5GStreamer-1.0.pc',
    'Qt5GLib-2.0.pc',
    'Qt5GStreamerQuick-1.0.pc',
    'Qt5GstreamerUi-1.0.pc' and
    'Qt5GstreamerUtils-1.0.pc'
    in '/home/hoyoung/qt-gstreamer/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/'

  • I reinstalled Qt5GStreamer.

    'Qt5Gstreamer-1.0.pc' files is now in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux/pkgconfig/'.

    I modified my .bashrc file.

    And then, There is not the error message "Qt5GStreamer-1.0 development package not found" any more.

    But other problems appeared. QtCreater couldn't find QGstreamer functions' definition. Like:

    In function `main':
undefined reference to 'QGst::init(int*, char***);
In function `Player::Player(QWidget*)':
undefined reference to `QGst::Ui::VideoWidget::VideoWidget(QWidget*, QFlags<Qt::WindowType>)'
undefined reference to `QGst::Ui::VideoWidget::~VideoWidget()'
.
.

    It's the compiler/linker not QtCreator.
    You do not link your app against QGStreamer libraries or the linker cannot find them.

  • @jsulm Hi, thank you for replying
    Okay, I understand. the errors are link errors.

    I searched google constantly, but I didn't find how to fix it.
    Can you give any idea to sovle it?

    IIRC you need something like:

    PKGCONFIG += Qt5GStreamer-1.0 Qt5GLib-2.0

    If using QtQuick

    PKGCONFIG += Qt5GStreamerQuick-1.0

  • @SGaist Thank you but I tried it already

    Now I'm finding any mistake during install qt gstreamer 1.2.0..

    Silly question then, are you sure that the libraries are built for the right architecture ?

  • @SGaist I Think "yes".
    I really don't know why it did it.

  • Lifetime Qt Champion

    Can you check the link line in the compiler output panel to see if the libraries from QtGstreamer are there ?

  • @SGaist

    I checked the compiler output panel, as you said. but I couldn't find the link line.

    This is Compile Output

  • Did anybody got the luck to know the reason for:
    "Project ERROR: Package Qt5GStreamerQuick-1.0 not found".

    I have installed: qt-gstreamer-dev package
    Not working even after manually adding PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR:
    export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/manojsahu/qt-gstreamer-1.2.0/src/QGst/QtGStreamer-1.0.pc.in

    I have also added PKGCONFIG alternatively in .pro file like:
    PKGCONFIG += Qt5GStreamerQuick-1.0
    PKGCONFIG += QtGStreamer-1.0

    Can anybody help to resolve this error.
    I am trying to compile example in below mentioned link:

    https://github.com/detrout/qt-gstreamer/tree/master/examples/qmlplayer

    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    It's PKG_CONFIG_PATH that you should modify in order to add new paths to search .pc files.

    Where are you calling export ?

  • I am calling export PKG_CONFIG_PATH in my example code directory.

  • Lifetime Qt Champion

    Are you opening Qt Creator from that terminal ? If not then it won't use the environment variable since it has only been exported in this terminal.
