I want to use FTP in my current project, but since Qt5 ftp isn't available (only as add-on).
I downloaded the sources from here: https://github.com/qt/qtftp
In Qt's forum, I found a instruction how to use it:
Open Console in the qtftp-folder
Generate the headers: cd qtftp, <QTDIR>/bin/syncqt.pl -version 5.2.0
Run qmake
Run make (mingw32-make)
Run make install (mingw32-make install)
Add QT += ftp in my .pro-file
Run qmake on my project
compile my project.
(https://forum.qt.io/topic/23904/qtftp-and-qthttp-compatibility-add-ons-for-qhttp-and-qftp-classes-in-qt-5)
So, I wanted to try these steps, but it fails on the first step, because the syncqt.pl cant be found, but I looked in the Qt-directory, and the file is there.
Anybody has an idea, how to fix/solve this? I am using Qt5.9.1
If you have downloaded the portable version of strawberry-perl like me, just extract .zip somewhere on your disk. After that, open the portableshell.bat (it should open a command prompt window)
After that, you can type in the code of step 2, and don't forget to add the -version argument.
Then you can continue with step 3, and everything should work without any problems.

I'm interested in learning about kde environment. So I read the contribution page on wiki, git cloned the kompare repo and built it. But an attempt to execute the binary gave me an error saying Could not load our KompareNavigationPart. The console showed the following error about kservice:
> ./kompare
kf5.kxmlgui: cannot find .rc file "kompareui.rc" for component "kompare"
kf5.kservice.services: KMimeTypeTrader: couldn't find service type "Kompare/ViewPart"
Please ensure that the .desktop file for it is installed; then run kbuildsycoca5.
kf5.kxmlgui: cannot find .rc file "kompareui.rc" for component "kompare"
Aborting aboutToFinish handling.
I couldn't find anything about it in the readme or the project wiki. I've installed the kde-development-meta package on arch linux. Can anyone help me get started with development on kde platform?
Short answer: Use "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr" and "make install".
Long answer: It looks like you tried to run from the build directory, but the KDE plugin loader does not look there by default. You could adjust the various path variables to additionally point to your build directory. The variables are mentioned at https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source#Set_up_the_runtime_environment
You can also use "make install" to install to a run-time directory. If you did not change the defaults of cmake via -D option, this will be "/usr/local/", and in this case you also have to adjust the various path variables to include that directory, unless your distribution already configured this for you.
I'm reading Foundations of Qt Development - by Johan Thelin.
Here quote from page 450 about Building QMake Project.
If you choose to create a Makefile using QMake, you can build your project using a simple make command (or nmake if you’re using Visual Studio). You can clean up your intermediate files using make clean. The slightly more brutal step is to run make distclean, which cleans up all generated files, including the Makefile. You will have to run QMake again to get a Makefile for make.
I tried hard to clean the files using 'make clean'. But cmd displaying the message 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I searched here and tried to find the PATH to make inside Qt directory. But not successful. Then according to this solution I tried to use mingw32-make also. But same results.
Anyone of you can help me?
If you using mingw32, try mingw32-make clean. Remember, you must add mingw's bin directory to User Enviroment to use this command. Follow "My Computer" > "Properties" > "Advanced" > "Environment Variables" > "Path" and add ;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin
OR
use command: setx PATH %PATH%;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin
I'm trying to get PyQt5 working with WinPython. PyQt5 comes with a readme file for installation, and I have unsuccessfully tried a few combinations of what I thought the first part of the readme tells me to do.
I have:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1
Qt 5.4
PyQt-gpl-5.4
PyQt-gpl-5.4 is in the folder (only partially sure that this is where I should have put it)
C:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1\python-2.7.9.amd64\Lib\site-packages\PyQt-gpl-5.4
My current attempt at getting everything working is: I'm trying to run the configure.py file in PyQt-gpl-5.4, but when I do so I consistently get the following error:
Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v4.8.6.
Make sure the correct version of qmake is on your PATH.
What I think is the required version of qmake being referred to is in the folder
C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin
However, I have no idea how to fix the error by adding the qmake in this folder to PATH. My most recent attempt was to add the folder using Spyder's Tools->PYTHONPATH manager, but this made no difference. I also tried adding it using sys.path.append('C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin'), but this didn't work either. I have since removed the folder name from both of these locations.
How do I get PyQt5 working with WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1, or I think equivalently, how to I get the configure.py file in the PyQt-gpl-5.4 folder to run?
Thanks.
You definitely don't want the source code (i.e. PyQt-gpl-5.4) in the site-packages folder, because that's where the compiled modules will end up. Instead, it should just go in a temporary folder whilst you compile it.
When you run configure.py, you must take care to use the executable for the specific python that you are targeting. I do not know anything about WinPython, but for a normal python installation this means doing something like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py
As a first step, before attempting to actually compile anything, it would be advisable to take at look at all the configuration options that are available, like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py --help
(There's also the Installing PyQt5 section in the PyQt Docs).
This will tell you, for instance, that the simplest way to specify the Qt installation you are targeting would be something like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py --qmake C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin\qmake
EDIT:
Sorry, that last part is wrong: the --qmake option isn't available on Windows, so you have to add the directory containing the qmake executable to your PATH. This can be done with the following command:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin
On windows after running the grunt build command for creating brackets shell it gives done without errors but i dont see any .exe file generated..
What might be the problem???
Here are some possible solutions:
Are you following the full brackets-shell build instructions, including all prerequisites?
Make sure Brackets isn't running at the same time. The build will fail silently if the .exe file is currently in use (see bug).
Try with a fresh git clone of the repo. If your brackets-shell local copy has been around for a while, sometimes the build & deps folders can get in a bad state. (I'm assuming you haven't modified the source at all. If you have, try with an unmodified copy of the source first to make sure it builds correctly without any of your changes).
Check that python --version shows 2.7.x
Verbose build output would also be helpful in diagnosing issues like this, but unfortunately there's not yet an easy way to get that...
If you follow the instructions on bracket-shell's wiki page, the Windows executable should be created in the Release directory.
After installing Qt SDK for Open Source C++ development on Mac OS by following the respective steps
Note for the binary package: If you have the binary package, simply
double-click on the Qt.mpkg and follow the instructions to install Qt.
Yes, that is all I have done to install Qt on MacOsX. Everything was going fine, until I run a sample application, of which compile output resulted in:
No valid Qt version set.
Set one in Preferences
Error while building project qtilk
When executing build step 'QMake'
Canceled build.
Then I tried to change the respective Qt version in Preferences and I hovered over the Path, I realized my mkspec isn't set:
Then I tried querying qmake by qmake -query:
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/usr/local/Qt4.6
QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/Developer/Documentation/Qt
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/usr/include
QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/Library/Frameworks
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/Developer/Tools/Qt
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins

QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/Developer/Examples/Qt/Demos
**QMAKE_MKSPECS:/usr/local/Qt4.6/mkspecs**
QMAKE_VERSION:2.01a
QT_VERSION:4.6.2
QMAKE_MKSPECS seems to be set here??
Will setting my mkspec solve my building problem? I tried setting by typing export mkspec=macx-g++. Still, mkspec seems not to be set to anything. I am all ears waiting for your answers. Thanks in advance.
To set the correct spec, use:
qmake -spec max-g++
