Adding Box2d library


  • Hey,

    I wanted to work with this library:
    https://github.com/qml-box2d/qml-box2d

    (At first I want to admit I'm from Java and I'm not god of using libraries in Qt)

    I created my own project and added some files from "examples" in lib github. It required adding:

    import Box2D 2.0

    and I managed to run project on Desktop. However when I tried to launch it in Android/iOS device, the app crashed at start.

    I have Android stacktrace:

    So I guess the lib was not included in deployment for Android. How to fix it ? How to properly add this Box2d library/plugin ?

    Do you have Box2D compiled for Android?

    Hi,

    It's explained in the README.md:

    qmake
make
make install

    Use the qmake matching your Android Qt installation.

  • Ok, I did that earlier but only for Desktop. So now I ended up with these after make install:

    install -m 755 -p libBox2D.so /libs/armeabi-v7a/libBox2D.so
    install -m 644 -p /Users/adamstyrc/Desktop/git/qml-box2d4/qmldir /Users/adamstyrc/Qt/5.6/android_armv7/qml/Box2D.2.0/

    What should be proper next step ?

    I tried to "Add Library"->external and add that /libs/armeabi-v7a/libBox2D.so file but then error is the same and also my import is not visible in code (QML module does not contain information about component plugin):

    import Box2D 2.0
