error from /bin/sh when compiling under Linux

nulluse · 14 May 2016, 14:24

Did a fresh install of Qt5.6 on a Linux box and opened a project with the source that builds fine on the same machine under Netbeans. But it does not build under QtCreator:

Hi @nulluse,
The project that you are compiling seems to include Windows paths(?) which the compiler is unable to parse properly. Check the .Pro file.

nulluse · 14 May 2016, 15:29

Yes, I have the OpenCL include and libs paths from the Windows machine.
How can I make them multiplatform in the .pro file?

@nulluse It is probably included in your project's (MandelbrotQt ?) .pro file.

nulluse · 14 May 2016, 16:38

Sorry, I do not follow.

nulluse · 14 May 2016, 16:46

For now I converted the paths to the Linux format, but still need to make this multiplatform in the .pro file.
The project still does not build: http://pastebin.com/raw/KmT1NnhN
Tons of errors outside of the project source code. This builds just fine under MingW. Is it incompatible with GCC 4.8.3?

@nulluse I'll try to explain.
When you compile your project MandelbrotQt the compiler tries to compile main.cpp against some set of libraries some dependent paths for header files. The following line shows it:
g++ -c -pipe -g -std=gnu++0x -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DQT_QML_DEBUG -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CONCURRENT_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I. -IC:/Program\ Files\ (x86)/AMD\ APP\ SDK/3.0/include -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/include -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/include/QtWidgets -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/include/QtGui -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/include/QtConcurrent -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/include/QtNetwork -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/include/QtCore -I. -I. -I../../Qt/5.6/gcc_64/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o main.o main.cpp

Notice the path C:/Program\ Files\ (x86)/AMD\ APP\ SDK/3.0/include.
First this Windows OS specific path shouldn't be there when you compile the project on Unix based system.
So now that it is included accidentally when the compiler encounters this path, it is unable to parse it due to space or special characters in the path.
In case of Qt this user defined path is actually added from projects .pro file.
So you have to modify the pro file so that the platform dependent paths are picked up accordingly or just remove these Windows OS based paths for quick test.

@nulluse

For that you have these and thesevariables to be defined in .pro file.

Is it incompatible with GCC 4.8.3?

Not sure about it. What version of gcc MingW uses ?

nulluse · 14 May 2016, 17:20

I don't know GCC version as I do not have access to the Windows machine this came from. All I know they have installed the current as of today version of Qt5 with MingW 4.9.2 toolchain.

@nulluse Unfortunately I too don't know what is leading to those errors. What is at line 3 of main.cpp ?
