Visual Studio 2013 and Qt3D module

Maybe it's just not yet implemented in VS Tools yet: You can do it "by hand". Just add:

QT += 3dcore 3drender 3dinput 3dextras

to your .pro file. Depending on other things you use in your program, on WINDOWS, may need to add: LIBS += -lopengl32 as well.

There is no access to the .pro file, or i haven't found it.

If it's not yet implemented, why is it not documented in this way anywhere ?

In VS15 I did it this way. I don't use the english version, so my translation can differ

-right click on the project in the projext explorer
-properties
-choose "configuration"/"C/C++"/"general"
-edit the entry "additional Includes" and add:
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DExtras
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DRender
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DLogic
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DInput
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DCore

[m.sue]

Yes...and under Linker/Input corresponding "additional dependencies" i.e. *.lib-files.

These are the entries that qmake generates when you add "QT += 3dcore 3drender 3dinput 3dextras 3dlogic" to your .pro-file.

Ok I will give this a try !
Thanks

So ! I have created a new Qt5 Application Projet.
I added these includes :
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DRender
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DLogic
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DInput
$(QTDIR)\include\Qt3DCore
(I don't have any Qt3DExtras folder here)
I added these libs to the linker :
Qt53DCore.lib
Qt53DRenderer.lib
Qt53DInput.lib
Qt53DLogic.lib
(no Qt53DExtras.lib either here)

And this code crash at launch.

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <Qt3DRenderer/QWindow>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication a(argc, argv);

    Qt3D::QWindow view;
    view.show();

    return a.exec();
}

did i do something wrong ?

The call stack by the way :

 	opengl32.dll!glGetIntegerv()
 	qwindowsd.dll!QWindowsGLContext::QWindowsGLContext(QOpenGLStaticContext * staticContext, QOpenGLContext * context)
 	qwindowsd.dll!QOpenGLStaticContext::createContext(QOpenGLContext * context)
 	qwindowsd.dll!QWindowsIntegration::createPlatformOpenGLContext(QOpenGLContext * context)
 	Qt5Guid.dll!QOpenGLContext::create()
 	Qt53DRendererd.dll!Qt3D::Render::Renderer::initialize(QOpenGLContext * context)
 	Qt53DRendererd.dll!Qt3D::Render::RenderThread::run()
 	Qt5Cored.dll!QThreadPrivate::start(void * arg)
	msvcr120d.dll!_callthreadstartex()
 	msvcr120d.dll!_threadstartex(void * ptd)
 	kernel32.dll!0000000077a759cd()
 	ntdll.dll!0000000077baa561()

One more detail, i got theses errors with the same code under QtCreator :

Qt3D.Core.Nodes: void Qt3D::QEntity::addComponent(Qt3D::QComponent*) Qt3D::QCameraLens(0x3e2b50)
Qt3D.Core.Nodes: void Qt3D::QEntity::addComponent(Qt3D::QComponent*) Qt3D::QTransform(0x3e2b60)

Hi,

There's something fishy here, your title talks about VS2013 but you are using a MinGW installation of Qt. So all in all which one is it ?

[achard.ju]

Hey,

I want to use it under VS2013.

After having the crash with Visual Studio, i wanted to give a try to QtCreator with MinGW Qt Version. Just to check if it comes from the visual compilation or not.

[SGaist]

You are aware that you can also use Qt Creator to build your application with the VS2013 compiler ?

[achard.ju]

Yep I know, but it's not an option on my project.

By the way, i got the exact same behavior using the VS2013 compiler.

The scene parser plugin that fails to load (the dll files) are well present in the folder.
