Debugging the QtBluetooth module

martonmiklos

Hello all,

I have some problems with the BLE device handling of the Qt 5.7.0. I have not been able to connect to any BLE device with Qt. hcitool and gattool works as expected, so it is not a system/hardware level problem.

The official lowenergyscanner example throws the following error when trying to discover services on the device:

Error:  "Unknown Error"
qt.bluetooth.bluez: void QBluetoothSocketPrivate::_q_readNotify() 25 error: -1 "Resource not available"
Error:  "Unknown Error"
Disconnect from device

I have decided to try debugging this issue.
Cloned the http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/ and built the bluetooth module.
I have removed the QT += bluetooth line from the project file, and added

LIBS += -L/home/mm/Projektek/qt/qtconnectivity/lib/ -l:/home/mm/Projektek/qt/qtconnectivity/lib/libQt5Bluetooth.so.5.7.1

But the ldd still shows the following even after setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

mm@lapos:/opt/qt-5.7.0/Examples/Qt-5.7/bluetooth/build-lowenergyscanner-Desktop_Qt_5_7_0_GCC_64bit-Debug$ ldd ./lowenergyscanner  | grep Blue
        libQt5Bluetooth.so.5 => /opt/qt-5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64/lib/libQt5Bluetooth.so.5 (0x00007f73aca4e000)

How can I use a locally built Qt module with a Qt application?

Hi,

IIRC, you have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to select the order in which the loader will search for these files.

Hope it helps

@SGaist Yepp it sloved it, my mistake. Also the QtBluetooth uses the QLoggingCategory, so with ```
QLoggingCategory::setFilterRules("*.debug=false\n"
"qt.bluetooth.bluez.debug=true\n"
"qt.bluetooth.debug=true");

I was able to get extended debug out.
