QML Bluetooth Example Problem

[ideadesigner]

@kshegunov
I took git setup and installed.
@SGaist
I tried but gave me permission error:

$ git clone http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/tree/
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'tree': Permission denied

Thanks for your helping guys.

[SGaist]

Retry by copying the git command I wrote.

[ideadesigner]

@SGaist Same answer from Git with your URL

[kuzulis]

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git

[SGaist]

Because you added tree again at the end ? Don't do it, just clone the git repository.

[ideadesigner]

@kuzulis I tried your URL in different computer and no problem.
@SGaist No, I didn't add the 'tree'. I think the problem is 'https://' because 'git://' is worked.

[SGaist]

Strange… Anyway, the essential part is that you got the module and can continue to hack :)

@ideadesigner @SGaist

I may be absolutely wrong and please correct me if I am, but I think https requires (gerrit) authentication to work ...

[kuzulis]

requires (gerrit) authentication to work

yes

[ideadesigner]

I can't understand, at my pc, 'git bash' gave me same error with 'git://...'.

$ git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'qtconnectivity': Permission denied

[SGaist]

Permission denied ? Do you have write permission in the folder you're trying to clone in ?

[ideadesigner]

@SGaist I see. I understood my fault.
I worked respectively in pictures,
1.Wrong folder

2.Changed my folder

3.Changed my branch

4.Opened the qt project file and ran the btscanner example

5.Still same answer

[kuzulis]

Still same answer

You should re-build && re-install QtConnectivity from the wip/win branch: make && make install, and only then try to use examples.

PS: A good idea it is cleanup all existing QtBluetooth stuff from your Qt-installed directory, before making-installing of wip/win branch.

[ideadesigner]

I couldn't do it :) I will make it later, for now I am going to make my android app. So, I don't make bluetooth app on windows for a while. Thanks for your help. @kuzulis @SGaist

@SGaist I tried the same steps, however, on trying to build it got the following error " C:/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.7/bluetooth/qtconnectivity/examples/bluetooth/picturetransfer/picturetransfer.pro is lacking an install target." Could you please advise. Thanks

Hi,

That's a bug that should have been fixed for the next release.
