    Default problem loading custom plugin on Qt Designer 4

    Hi All,
    I have installed a plugin in Qt Designer which has generated libmywidgetplugin.so in the /root/qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.3.3/plugins/designer folder.Now when I open the Qt Designer program the plugin fails to load.The plugin information window shows this:

    Ths plugin 'The plugin '/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so' uses incompatible Qt library. (4.3.3) [release]''

    Any idea what the problem could be ?
    I am using Qtopia4.3.3 and Qt Designer4 here.

    Thanks,
    raman

    Is the designer built in release mode?

    Hello,
    I didnt build the designer from source.I installed the desginer using

    yum install qt4-designer
    The version installed is 4.3.2 open source edition.This version is working fine.I have created some applications using this and Qtopia 4.3.3.But somehow the plugin doesnt load.
    How do I know about release mode stuff?

    Thanks,
    raman

    If the designer is for Qt 4.3.2 and the plugin for Qtopia 4.3.3 then they are incompatible. You need to build the plugin for Qt 4.3.2 to run it in your Designer.

    Thanks for the suggestion.......I missed out this point on loading plugins in the Qt Designer manual....I dont want to downgrade my Qtopia 4.3.3 installation....I am trying to upgrade Qt Designer 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 but I am unable to find this version for fedora 6 OS....I cant afford to upgrade my PC to fedora 7 as that will be a long procedure....is there Qt Designer 4.3.3 version for fedora 6???

    thanks,

    Why not compile Qt from sources? It's a straightforward process, you will surely manage it.

    I had installed qtopia by building qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.3.3.tar from source but I dont think that Qt designer 4.3.3. comes as a part of this source file.

    I had to install Qt designer 4 separately using yum command later.Is there any latest source file which has all the Qt packages in it...i.e. Qtopia,Qt designer,Qt assistant,Qt linguist??
    thanks,

    Take a look at the main page of this site. There is a link there that will take you to Qt downloads. Alternatively you can find similar links on trolltech.com

    Thanks all for your suggestions!

    I have now upgraded to Fedora 9 and installed Qtopia 4.3.5 and Qt Designer 4.3.5.
    Now I have created a plugin using the examples , compiled ("make") and installed using
    make install
    The .so file installs at /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.5/plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so

    But the problem is the plugin doesnt load on the Qt Desginer.Is there anything left to be done?
    These are contents of the plugin folder

    [root@localhost designer]# ls
    libcontainerextension.so libqt3supportwidgets.so.debug
    libcontainerextension.so.debug libtaskmenuextension.so
    libcustomwidgetplugin.so libtaskmenuextension.so.debug
    libcustomwidgetplugin.so.debug libworldtimeclockplugin.so
    libmywidgetplugin.so libworldtimeclockplugin.so.debug
    libqt3supportwidgets.so
    thanks,

    Run designer, open its "About Plugins" dialog box and see what is the error associated with the plugin.

    Hello,
    Earlier this plugin had installed at /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.5/plugins/designer which I later realised is not the path designer expects the plugins to be in since it was not loacting it.

    So I copied the plugins to
    /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer

    When I run the designer I get this error
    QLibrary:: load_sys : Cannot load /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so(/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN7QWidget8qwsEventEP8QWSEvent)

    I have attached my source files for the plugin. mywidget.zip

    This widget uses a symbol (QWidget::qwsEvent) which is not available in Qt. You have to compile it without that symbol if you want to run the widget in the desktop version of Qt.

    I removed the event code this time from my source files .I have attached the updated code.I still get the same error :

    QLibrary:: load_sys : Cannot load /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so(/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN7QWidget8qwsEventEP8QWSEvent)

    Obviously you still reference that symbol somewhere.

    Your plugin loads fine for me but I don't see the widget in my widget box. You're missing the Q_OBJECT macro, I think.

    I had actually removed the event code and object macro as well to test whether it loads at all without any errors.
    I guess there is something wrong with my designer because the plugin doesn't even load at my end.
    Can you please try loading the plugin from this attached code at your end?This is the original code.

    Your plugin works fine for me. You must have some library mismatch. Try cleaning the whole project or use ldd to check if the plugin depends on appropriate versions of libraries.
