Qt positioning requirements for Linux
-
Does anyone know a list of requirements for Qt positioning to work on Linux?
I have GeoClue installed, the version mentioned on the positioning page, but when I runQGeoPositionInfoSource *pos = QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource(0);it doesn't seem to work, if(pos) returns false.
On Android and Windows 10 returns true, so I'm probably doing something right, no?
Using Qt Creator(latest version), Qt 5.9.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.3, X86_64. -
Hi,
You should start your application with the
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINSenvironment variable set to one to see what is happening with the position info source plugin. -

By the way, shouldn't it try to load the plugins from the installation directory if it doesn't find in the application build directory? -
You're welcome !
No because you are using
qt.confwhich means that you are telling your application where to find Qt therefore it's where it will look for everything. -
