Iam using Ubuntu 16.04 in which i have installed Qtcreator. I would like to work on SNMP. for this i have already installed net-snmp as well as mibs downloader.
I have taken example code from net-snmp (snmpdemoapp.c) and tried implementing same in qt.

When I used vtk in qt creator firstly, I came into this trouble. And I cannot solve it now, asking for some help.
I followed this website https://csuzhangxc.gitbooks.io/vtk-simple-tutorial/content/getting_started/the_first.html but I got this:
error: /usr/local/lib//libvtkRenderingOpenGL2-8.2.a(vtkXRenderWindowInteractor.cxx.o): undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'

Somebody know what to do?

So I've created a qrc file and have a file at /stylesheets/main.qss.
I have stylesheet information in this main.qss file. My goal here is to have a qss file I can work out of and potentially hot reload over time. My issue is that when I debug there is no /stylesheets/main.qss in the debug build location. So it loads the file as an empty string, don't even get an exception. What am I missing?
main.qss
/*#MainBackgroundColor = rgb(40,40,40)*/
/*#MainBorderColor = rgb(0,102,255)*/
/*#MainTextColor = rgb(255,255,255)*/
*
{
color: rgb(255,255,255);
background-color: rgb(40,40,40);
}
QStatusBar
{
border-top: 3px solid rgb(0,102,255);
}
Loading the stylesheet
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
//We want a frameless window.
setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
//Load the style sheet into the window
QFile File(":/stylesheets/main.qss");
File.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
QString stylesheet = QLatin1String(File.readAll());
//Setup the UI
ui->setupUi(this);
this->setStyleSheet(stylesheet);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;

EDIT: Found the solution. Apparently Qt isn't very good about updating everything if you happen to have the pro file open. If something super obviously wrong happens like this you need to run Build->Clean All then Build->Run QMake to get everything stituated again.
What I do is keep the stylesheet file (*.qss) next to the app while debugging. Then load it in main.cpp and subscribe for changes using QFileSystemWatcher.
This way I can edit the *.qss file with a nice editor, like SublimeText, and every time I save it, I can see the changes inmediatly:
#include "mydialog.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QFile>
#include <QTextStream>
#include <QSharedPointer>
#include <QFileSystemWatcher>
typedef QSharedPointer<QFileSystemWatcher> QWatcherPtr;
void setStyleSheet(QApplication &a, const QString &strPath, const bool &subscribe = false)
{
// set stylesheet
QFile f(strPath);
if (!f.exists())
{
qDebug() << "[ERROR] Unable to set stylesheet," << strPath << "file not found.";
}
else
{
// set stylesheet
f.open(QFile::ReadOnly | QFile::Text);
QTextStream ts(&f);
a.setStyleSheet(ts.readAll());
f.close();
// subscribe to changes (only once)
if (!subscribe)
{
return;
}
QWatcherPtr watcher = QWatcherPtr(new QFileSystemWatcher);
watcher->addPath(strPath);
QObject::connect(watcher.data(), &QFileSystemWatcher::fileChanged, &a,
[&a, watcher, strPath]()
{
setStyleSheet(a, strPath, false);
});
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
// set stylesheet and subscribe to changes
setStyleSheet(a, "./style.qss", true);
MyDialog w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
I have a simple data acquisition system to read analog dc voltage from the NI USB 6009. I have also created a qt console application to use the NIDAQmxbase functionality.
The .pro file is as follows
QT += core
QT -= gui
TARGET = untitled4
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp
LIBS += "C:\Users\nikhilmurthy161229\Documents\untitled3\nidaqmxbase.lib"
HEADERS += "C:\Users\nikhilmurthy161229\Documents\untitled3\NIDAQmxBase.h"
I have included the .lib file and the .h file in the project folder.
MY main.cpp file looks as follows
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <NIDAQmxBase.h>
#define DAQmxErrChk(functionCall) { if( DAQmxFailed(error=(functionCall)) ) { goto Error; } }
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
// Task parameters
int32 error = 0;
TaskHandle taskHandle = 0;
char errBuff[2048]={'\0'};
// Channel parameters
char chan[] = "nikhil\ai0";
float64 min = 0;
float64 max = 5;
// Timing parameters
uInt64 samplesPerChan = 1;
// Data read parameters
float64 data;
int32 pointsToRead = 1;
int32 pointsRead;
float64 timeout = 5;
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,chan,"",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,min,max,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseStartTask(taskHandle));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,pointsToRead,timeout,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,&data,samplesPerChan,&pointsRead,NULL));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseStopTask(taskHandle));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseClearTask(taskHandle));
printf ("Acquired reading: %f\n", data);
Error:
if( DAQmxFailed(error) )
DAQmxBaseGetExtendedErrorInfo(errBuff,2048);
if( taskHandle!=0 ) {
DAQmxBaseStopTask(taskHandle);
DAQmxBaseClearTask(taskHandle);
}
if( DAQmxFailed(error) )
printf ("DAQmxBase Error %ld: %s\n", error, errBuff);
return a.exec();
}
However when i run the program I am getting the following error
"DAQmxBase Error -200428: Value passed to the Task/channels In contril is invalid"
I have verified that the device name is same as in NI MAX but the problem still persists.
PLEASE HELP
As a quick guess I would make your chan variable
char chan[] = "nikhil\\ai0";
The char array is probably interpreting the backslash
The DAQ device name is incorrect.
Even though you used MAX to rename the device to nikhil, DAQmx Base enumerates devices differently. Use the lsdaq utility to find your device name (likely Dev1) and change your chan variable to use the discovered name.
I'm trying to build a really simple Qt program using FFMpeg library.
Currently I just want to open and close a video file.
Here is my project file:
QT += core gui
TARGET = avtest01
TEMPLATE = app
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include
LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -lavformat
SOURCES += main.cpp
And my code:
#include <QDebug>
extern "C" {
#include <libavformat/avformat.h>
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if(argc > 1)
{
AVFormatContext *format_context;
qDebug() << argv[1];
if(avformat_open_input(&format_context, argv[1], NULL, NULL) == 0)
{
qDebug() << "open";
avformat_close_input(&format_context);
}
else
qDebug() << "error opening " << argv[1];
}
return 0;
}
Unfortunately, the linker fails:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"avformat_open_input(AVFormatContext**, char const*, AVInputFormat*, AVDictionary**)", referenced from:
_main in main.o
"avformat_close_input(AVFormatContext**)", referenced from:
_main in main.o
I'm using Qt 5.1.0 on MacOS.
Your code worked for me after I added av_register_all(); to main.
My guess is that you have avformat compiled for 32 bit. You can confirm by running file /usr/local/lib/libavformat.dylib in terminal.
The output should look like:
/usr/local/lib/libavformat.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
I'm trying to create a boost::thread application in Qt.
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/thread.hpp"
#include "boost/bind.hpp"
using namespace std;
class A {
public:
void tf() {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
cout << i << endl;
}
}
};
int main()
{
boost::shared_ptr<A> aPtr;
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
boost::thread t = boost::thread(boost::bind(&A::tf, aPtr.get()));
cout << "Thread started" << endl;
return 0;
}
And the corresponding .pro file:
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= qt

DEPENDPATH += "C:/Program Files (x86)/boost/boost_1_49"

You aren't linking to the Boost Thread library, you are just telling Qt where it is.
