QmlRegisterType with shared library inside subdirs

davidino

Goodmorning,
I'm using Qt 5.11 and I'm creating a project composed by two subprojects:

SysInfo, a singleton shared library with its implementation, SysInfoLinuxImpl.
Performance, a QML application.
Basically, I want that SysInfoLinuxImpl Q_PROPERTIES to be visible in QML subProject.

For this purpose, I tried to register SysinfoLinuxImpl with qmlRegisterType, but main.cpp doesn't recognize #include "SysInfoLinuxImpl.h" since it's contained in a different subdirs (the shared library) respect main.cpp (the QML application).

Could you help me? Thank you in advance.
Below some code.

mainProject.pro

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    SysInfo \
    Performance

unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/SysInfo/ -lSysInfo
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/SysInfo
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/SysInfo

Performance.depends = SysInfo

Sysinfo.h code

#include "sysinfo_global.h"
#include <QObject>

class SYSINFOSHARED_EXPORT SysInfo
{

public:
    static	SysInfo&	instance();
    virtual	~SysInfo();

    virtual	void	init()	=	0;
    virtual	double	cpuLoadAverage()	=	0;
    virtual	double	memoryUsed()	=	0;

protected:
    explicit	SysInfo();

private:
    SysInfo(const SysInfo& rhs);
    SysInfo& operator= (const SysInfo& rhs);
};

SysInfoImpl.h

#ifndef SYSINFOLINUXIMPL_H
#define SYSINFOLINUXIMPL_H

#include	<QtGlobal>
#include	<QVector>
#include    <QFile>
#include    <QIODevice>
#include    <QTimer>
#include    <QThread>

#include	"sysinfo.h"
#include    "sysinfo_global.h"
#include    "sysinfolinuxworker.h"

#include    <QObject>

class SYSINFOSHARED_EXPORT SysInfoLinuxImpl	:	public QObject, public SysInfo
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(double mCpuLoadAverage READ cpuLoadAverage)
    Q_PROPERTY(double mMemoryUsed READ memoryUsed)

public:
    SysInfoLinuxImpl();
    void	init()	override;
    double	cpuLoadAverage()	override;
    double	memoryUsed()	override;

// Calculation are done on a separate thread and get by these slots
public slots:
    void memoryCalculationDone(double percent)  {mMemoryUsed = percent;}
    void cpuCalculationDone(double percent)     {mCpuLoadAverage = percent;}

private:
    QVector<qulonglong>	cpuRawData();

public:
    QVector<qulonglong>	mCpuLoadLastValues;
    double mCpuLoadAverage;
    double mMemoryUsed;

private:
    QTimer mTimer;
    QThread mThread;
};

#endif // SYSINFOLINUXIMPL_H

Hi,

When having sub-projects with libraries. What I usually do is to create one .pri file per library that contains the INCLUDEPATH and LIBS statement necessary to use it and include that .pri file where needed in the other sub-projects.

In addition to what @SGaist said, while compiling your main project, compiler is not able to find that appropriate header file. You need use INCLUDEPATH to set where are your header files. @SGaist has already given good suggestion on how to do this.

Hello @SGaist and @dheerendra ,
thank you for your answers. I did as you said and the problem is solved.

Thank you
