How to put gstab+ option to mingw makefile generated by qmake - qt

I am newby in Qt, and try to compile tutorial application with MinGW. The only problem, that I need to put -gstab+ option to gcc compiler instead of -g option that qmake generated by default.
Currently, I select debug configuration (it add CONFIG += debug to the qmake command-line).
I've tried to add CONFIG += gstab+ to the .pro file, but it does not work. qmake generates makefile.Debug file with -g option.
What do I make wrong? And how should it be?

I've found a solution here http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/2412
I've added the following lines to my .pro file:
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG += "-gstabs+"
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG += "-gstabs+"

Using FFMPEG with QT

I'm having a problem with linking FFmpeg libraries to Qt 5.10 Projects.
I downloaded the source code from the official website and successfully compiled and installed to my Ubuntu. I used: ./configure --enable-libvpx --disable-x86asm them: make && make install
I'm able to find the installed libraries in /usr/local/lib (which are .a libs).
my .pro looks like this:
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include
LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil
but i get the output:
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld:
/usr/loca/lib/libavformat.a(http.o):undefined reference to symbol 'inflateEnd'
//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks for the attention!
Note: I would like to static link it to my project

Adding custom target in qmake

I want to build my resources with qmake as follows [Qt 5.5]:
imageTarget.target = images.rcc
imageTarget.depends = $$PWD/images.qrc
imageTarget.commands = rcc -binary -no-compress $$PWD/images.qrc -o $$OUT_PWD/images.rcc
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += imageTarget
When I run qmake for my .pro file, it generates the make rule for target images.rcc target as expected:
images.rcc: /path/to/images.qrc
rcc -binary -no-compress /path/to/images.qrc -o /output/path/to/images.rcc
So far so good.
However, what I would expect is that running qmake would also generate the output file images.rcc and it does not.
But when I go into the makefile directory and type in the command "make images.rcc", then the images.rcc is generated. Am I missing a point? How can I make target in the qmake step without the need of extra make?
With
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += imageTarget
you just define a new target - but it is not automatically built when running make.
Try to add
PRE_TARGETDEPS += images.rcc
This should automatically build a new images.rcc when running make if images.qrc has changed.

QMake generating weird paths in makefile

I'm using Qt 5.1.1 and running qmake on windows.
I run qmake with the following command:
qmake.exe -spec win32-msvc2012 -tp vc project.pro
Somehow in my makefile it generates some weird relative paths:
INCPATH = -I"..\..\..\qt\qwt-6.1.0\src"
for example.
My includepaths in the .pro file are the following:
INCLUDEPATH += \
$$PWD \
$$QWTDIR \
what did I do wrong? (The compiler searches for ......\ which it isn't allowed to access for sure)
qwtdir is defined as:
QWTDIR = C:/qt/qwt-6.1.0/src
I resolved the error. Someone committed corrupted .pri file which didn't contain a proper line break after an include i.e.:
HEADERS += \
$$PWD/file1.h \ $$PWD/file2.h
Adding a proper line break solved the issue.
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD is most likely unnecessary.
Your $$QWTDIR is relative, most likely - you'd need to relent and show it to us. Use $$absolute_path($${QWTDIR}).
You could also probably put the include paths all on one line. The trailing line continuation in the last line of INCLUDEPATH is wrong, you must remove it:
INCLUDEPATH += \
$$PWD \
$$QWTDIR
You are trying to build against the source tree of Qwt ( probably copying the project files of the Qwt examples ) instead of installing Qwt properly and building against the installed version using:
CONFIG += qwt
See http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html

INCLUDEPATH in qmake project file doesn't work

I've got a problem with include in a qmake project. In my .pro file I've got:
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\OpenCV\build\include"
and in my cpp :
#include <opencv\cv.h>
The compiler indicates an error:
Cannot open include file: 'opencv\cv.h': No such file or directory
but if I write this in my cpp:
#include "C:\OpenCV\build\include\opencv\cv.h"
it works!
I build the project from within Qt Creator. What am I doing wrong?
You have to run qmake(build->run qmake) to validate changes in the pro file.
Qt creator Adding external library (still: Cannot open include file: 'GL/glew.h')
Your problem may be related to the fact that having backslashes in naked #include directives is undefined behavior.
Do the following.
Replace your include with
#include <opencv/cv.h>
Note the forward slash!
Remove the shadow build directory that Qt Creator has made for you. You will find it above the project directory, its name begins with build-.
Rebuild the project.
Note that this takes care of rerunning qmake.
here's one of my pro files:
# Blah Application
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += qt console staticlib debug_and_release
QT -= gui
QT += network sql xml
TARGET = blah
CONFIG(debug, debug|release){
DESTDIR = debug
LIBS += -L../../../lib/core/debug -lcore
} else {
DESTDIR = release
LIBS += -L../../../lib/core/release -lcore
}
DEPENDPATH += . ../../lib ../../../lib/core
INCLUDEPATH += . ../../lib ../../../lib/core
# Library files
HEADERS += mtBlahRTP.h
SOURCES += mtBlahRTP.cpp
# Input
HEADERS +=
SOURCES += main.cpp
The include path points to the RELATIVE directory of my lib files. mtBlahRTP.h and mtBlahRTP.cpp are in ../../lib
I have the same question, before building or running, you should qmake(Build=>qmake) it.
My configurations for INCLUDEPATH:
INCLUDEPATH+=D:\opencv\opencv\build\include
INCLUDEPATH+=D:\opencv\opencv\build\include\opencv
INCLUDEPATH+=D:\opencv\opencv\build\include\opencv2
I ran into a similar issue and what I found is that the QtCreator IDE is not re-reading the results of qmake and updating the "Cannot open" message. You need to close the offending file and re-open it - then you'll see that it no longer displays the error.
I had to do two steps: (re-)run qmake and rebuild the whole project - only then the INCLUDEPATH setting was considered correctly. (With QtCreator 3.5 and 3.6 (Qt 5.5 and Qt 5.6) on Windows.)
The only problem you are making is incorrectly linking the OpenCV library. The other answers given here may or may not work, but I have posted on another thread a surefire way to solve this problem using the "Add Library" wizard inside Qt Creator: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51914928/10245006
I was getting the error:
canserialcomm.o: In function `CanSerialComm::CanSerialComm()':
canserialcomm.cpp:(.text+0xc1): undefined reference to `vtable for CanSerialComm'
It turns out that the cause was it wasn't able to find canserialcomm.h where that constructor is declared. This was despite me having INCLUDEPATH in the project file point to the directory containing that header file:
INCLUDEPATH += . \
..
What I had to do to fix this is explicitely specify the header file; I added:
HEADER += ../canserialcomm.h
You should use double backslashes when in windows for qt creator with msvc. like this:
INCLUDEPATH += C:\\libcurl\\libcurl-vc-x64-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\\include
this will fix the problem.
Under windows you have to eliminate the -I before each directory that is added into the INCLUDEPATH variable.
For example:
Under windows:
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\lib\boost_1_61_0" (back-slash)
Under linux & mac:
INCLUDEPATH += -I"$$(HOME)/lib/boost_1_61_0" (note the -I and forward-slash)
I'm not sure whether it depends on different qmake version or not. But after finishing qmake command, I check the Makefile and the double -I is the issue.
You need to do several things. Fist, in the .pro file, you need quotation marks two backslashes at a time, like this:
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\\OpenCV\\build\\include\\opencv\\cv.h"
You alse need a frontslash in the #include in your .cpp file like this:
#include <opencv/cv.h>
When you've done this, delete the build folder. This is the folder with a very complicated name of the type build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2015_32bit-Release. Then, in the Build menu, press "Run qmake". When you've done all this, it should compile fine.
Somehow it did not work for when I had several INCLUDEPATH +=.
When I combined the stuff into a single on it suddenly worked.

How to compile a Qt application through the command line with MinGW?

I have downloaded the latest Qt version for MinGW, and I have the correct MinGW version which is compatible with Qt. When I try to make the project, g++ is unable to find my source file even if it's in the same folder as the project file.
Those are the steps I followed (all project and source files are in T:\QtTest ):
T:\QtTest> qmake -project
T:\QtTest> qmake
T:\QtTest> make
And the output is this:
T:\QtTest> make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug
mingw32-make1: Entering directory `T:/QtTest’
g++ -c -g -frtti -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall -DUNICODE -DQT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT -DQT_DLL -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_HAVE_MMX -DQT_HAVE_3DNOW -DQT_HAVE_SSE -DQT_HAVE_MMXEXT -DQT_HAVE_SSE2 -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_NEEDS_QMAIN -I“c:\Qt\4.8.0\include\QtCore” -I“c:\Qt\4.8.0\include\QtGui” -I“c:\Qt\4.8.0\include” -I”.” -I“c:\Qt\4.8.0\include\ActiveQt” -I“debug” -I“c:\Qt\4.8.0\mkspecs\default” -o debug\main.o main.cpp
g++: main.cpp: no such file or directory
g++: no input files
mingw32-make1: *** [debug/main.o] Error 1
mingw32-make1: Leaving directory `T:/QtTest’
mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2
I have no idea why it can't find "main.cpp" file when it's in the same directory as the
project files. Even if I replace "main.cpp" with the full path ("T:\QtTest\main.cpp") it still won't find it. What am I doing wrong?
The following is my project structure:
(main.cpp is the only file that I wrote, all the others were generated by qmake)
T:\QtTest\main.cpp
T:\QtTest\Makefile
T:\QtTest\Makefile.debug
T:\QtTest\Makefile.release
T:\QtTest\QtTest.pro
T:\QtTest\debug\
T:\QtTest\release\
My g++ version is 4.4.0, which is the version suggested by the Qt installer and available for download in the same page as the Qt for MinGW installer.
Problem solved.
It had nothing to do with MinGW or Qt or the makefiles generated by qmake. I found it was caused solely by a custom entry in the Windows registry. I'm posting this solution for anyone who encounters the same problem:
Sometime ago I had created an entry in the Windows registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Command Processor called Autorun, which makes CMD.exe start in a custom working directory, which was something I wanted to do (so I followed the steps detailed in this page about "How to change the default startup directory for Command Prompt": http://windowsxp.mvps.org/autoruncmd.htm).
Well, I completely neglected the CAUTION part in that page, which states that "Changing the current directory using Autorun value as mentioned in this article, might affect the functionality of batch scripts". Yes, shame on me.
So, if you have the same problem of being unable to make your Qt projects using qmake, and everything else looks OK in your project structure and makefiles, verify that you don't have something in the Windows registry which might change the startup directory for the command prompt.
Do you have MSYS installed? If sh.exe from MSYS is on the system path, it may conflict with the interpretation of windows style paths. Check the documentation here.
If that isn't the problem, then delete everything in your project folder except the source files and start over again with qmake -project. After that step, open the .pro file and verify that things look correct. For a very basic project, I get something like this:
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET =
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .
# Input
HEADERS += widget.h
FORMS += widget.ui
SOURCES += main.cpp widget.cpp
The next two steps, running qmake and then make should work correctly. If not, there is nothing wrong with the steps you followed and there is something wrong with your system/environment.
