Compiling error with wwWidtes.qt 4.6.2

[Andrewshkovskii]

Hello all!
i build wwwidgets like this :
qmake -spec win32-g++ -r CONFIG+=release,
Mingw32-make-install.
and now i got a problem with compiling simple project with wwWidgets :
.pro

TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp
CONFIG += wwwidgets

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QwwTwoColorIndicator>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QwwTwoColorIndicator id;
    id.show();
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QwwTwoColorIndicator>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QwwTwoColorIndicator id;
    id.show();
    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

buildind in release. So, i got error message :

testWWW/../../Qt/include/wwWidgets/qwwtwocolorindicator.h:21: undefined reference to `QwwPrivatable::~QwwPrivatable()'

But QwwPrivatable is defined in #include <wwglobal.h> witch is including in all qww classes.
Why is happening and what i'am doing wrong?
Because every example coming with wwWidgets is compiling, cleaning and re-building and qmake'ing as well, as normal project.

[wysota]

Is this the only error you are getting?

[Andrewshkovskii]

Hello, Wysota
yes, it is only compilation i get, but i cant understand, why wwW examples are compiling, my projects - not?

[wysota]

I would guess you are not linking with the library but it's just a guess. Could you provide the whole compilation log for your project (please attach it as a file to your post)?

[Andrewshkovskii]

here it is!

[wysota]

Could you post the complete project here so that I can try to reproduce the problem myself? Either the log is mixed up or the project builds and then something fails but I need to see the actual code, maybe there is a bug in wwWidgets.

[Andrewshkovskii]

It's very simple code, with one your widget at all.. May be i build and install wwWidgets wrong or something?

[wysota]

It compiles without problems on my machine (after removing the incorrect include from main.cpp, of course). How exactly did you install wwWidgets? Do you have the latest version (0.9.6)?

[Andrewshkovskii]

#include "C:\storage\programming\wwWidgets\widgets\wwglobal _p.h"

this incorrect include? ok, i removed it, but nothing happened.
I removed widgets and re-install them now by :

C:\storage\programming\wwWidgets>qmake wwwidgets4.pro -spec win32-g++ -r CONFIG
+=release
Reading C:/storage/programming/wwWidgets/widgets/widgets.pro
Reading C:/storage/programming/wwWidgets/plugin/plugin.pro

C:\storage\programming\wwWidgets>mingw32-make

And now i get this make error

So, i copy wwwidgets4.dll, rename it to wwwidgets4d, and put it into

...\wwWidgets\widgets\debug and ..\wwWidgets\widgets\release

and run make again, after make finished, i installed wwwidgets (make-install) and it installed.
So, i think the compilation error was caused becouse of my actions with *.dll files.

[Andrewshkovskii]

I fixed this error with adding CONFIG-=debug to plugin.pro, and run mingw32-make , mingw32-make install again, so it compiled
But project compiling is failed again with message :

And designer say's that wwwidgetsplugin.dll could not be found/loaded, but wwwidgetsplugin.dll is in /Qt/plugins/designer/ directory.

[wysota]

Start from scratch, unpack the archive, cd into the "widgets" directory, run qmake, run make, run make install, cd ../plugin, run qmake, run make, run make install. Everything should be fine then - it's a foulproof method of installing this particular widget set - it should create a debug and release version of the widget set and release version of the designer plugin.

I made everything as you say..."widgets" directory compiled perfect. But plugin.. is it need to fix plugin.pro, and change

win32 {
CONFIG(release): LIBS += -L../widgets/release -lwwwidgets4
CONFIG(debug): LIBS += -L../widgets/debug -lwwwidgets4d
}

to

win32 {
CONFIG(release): LIBS += -L../widgets/release -lwwwidgets4
CONFIG(debug): LIBS += -L../widgets/debug -lwwwidgets4
}

If not, there is still error with linker : cannot find lwwwidgets4d..
After i changed plugin.pro file, and everything compiled perfect..Designer plugin work correctly, examples are compiling...but i i still got the compilation error with that first simple project, what i showed early, with QwwPrivatable error...

Maybe this is because of my version of Qt? My version is 4.6.2 Open source...

[wysota]

Maybe you should make a similar fix in wwwidgets.prf.

[Andrewshkovskii]

No..this is not working too..

Wysota, did you tested your widgets with qt 4.6.2?
I think it's time me to reinstall mingw, qt... :/

[wysota]

I tested the widgets two hours ago against 4.6.2, only on Linux unfortunately but this shouldn't have to do anything with the platform used. MinGW doesn't have to do anything with this as well. The problem is clearly in wwWidgets. I'll try to reproduce it on Windows in upcoming days and find a fix for it. Until then you have to be patient or try to find a solution on your own.

You can try this:

open wwglobal.h, and change:

class QwwPrivatable {

class QwwPrivatable {

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to

class Q_WW_EXPORT QwwPrivatable {

class Q_WW_EXPORT QwwPrivatable {

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then recompile and reinstall wwWidgets. Let me know if it helps.

Em..with those changes designer fail to load plugin .dll file, and application compile, but when i run it, it exiting with code -1073741515

[wysota]

Either uninstall the wwWidgets library before recompiling or make sure you first compile and install the widget library and only then compile and install the plugin. Also check what is the error Designer reports about the plugin.

[Andrewshkovskii]

Ok, just see my steps, mb i'am doing something wrong?
1 - deleting wwWidgets directory.
2 - deleting wwWidgets files from Qt directory.
3 - unpack wwWidgets-0.9.6.tar.gz (C:\storage\programming, not %QtDIR%).
4 - fix plugin.pro file, change

win32 {
CONFIG(release): LIBS += -L../widgets/release -lwwwidgets4
CONFIG(debug): LIBS += -L../widgets/debug -lwwwidgets4d
}

to

win32 {
CONFIG(release): LIBS += -L../widgets/release -lwwwidgets4
CONFIG(debug): LIBS += -L../widgets/debug -lwwwidgets4
}

5 - fix wwglobal.h (did the wwglobal_p.h need to fix too?)
6 - cd "widgets" - qmake, make, make install.
7 - cd "plugin" - qmake, make, make install.
Try to launch Designer -> the wwwidgetplugin.dll could not to be founded (but it in the qt/plugin/designer DIR)
..Oh god.. i think i'am damned....
May be something wrong with my %path% ?
And one moment... why make did not build debug version of wwwidget4 library?

[wysota]

5 - fix wwglobal.h (did the wwglobal_p.h need to fix too?)

No, wwglobal_p.h is ok as it is for sure. It's a private header file which shouldn't export anything.

Try to launch Designer -> the wwwidgetplugin.dll could not to be founded (but it in the qt/plugin/designer DIR)

But what exactly cannot be found? wwWidgets are surely not to be blamed in this case
