QPSQL driver not loaded - qt

I know that there are few topics on the Internet about QPSQL driver not loaded problem but none of the solutions have helped me.
Let's start from the beggining. This is what I'm using:
Windows 7 x64
PostgreSQL 9.3
QtCreator 2.4.1
Based on Qt 4.7.4 (32 bit)
First of all I've tried to use tutorial from http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/sql-driver.html#qpsql . The problem with that solution is that cd %QTDIR% command result is changing my working directory to C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw which has not any src directory but fortunately has got plugins\sqldrivers. Unfortunately there is no folder pqsl. Even if I ignore that problem and skip into next step - qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\psql\include" "LIBS+=C:\psql\lib\ms\libpq.lib" psql.pro it shows me that it cannot find file psql.pro and there is no psql.pro file in my whole Qt directory. I've decided to leave that solution and to find another one.
Somewhere in the Web I've found that I need to write those lines into my .pro file:
INCLUDEPATH += $$quote(C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.3/include)
LIBS += -L$$quote(C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.3/lib)
I've done that. But the driver not loaded problem is still appearing.
What should I do. Am I missing something?
If it helps after running
qDebug() << QSqlDatabase::drivers();
command it displays only ("QSQLITE")
P.S. I hope that my problem is understandable - english is not my native language.

QtCreator cannot find stddef.h working on linux

I just freshly installed Qt Creator 4.1.0
Based on Qt 5.7.0 (GCC 4.9.1 20140922 (Red Hat 4.9.1-10), 64 bit)
This error drives me crazy after I fixed all kit errors, actually I spent some time on google looking for proper compiler. This could be something with compiler version I think:
/usr/include/c++/5.3.1/cstddef:45: error: stddef.h: No such file or
directory
I saw solutions for windows everywhere but could not find for linux, does anyone has experience how to fix it?

I had this problem as well, and for me I had to disable ClangCodeModel plugin. To do this, I went to Help->About Plugins...->Uncheck ClangCodeModel (under C++ category). After restarting QT Creator, everything was working fine. I found this solution on QT Forums
If the compiler works from a terminal, it should work from QtCreator. So first make it work from the terminal.
From a terminal, create a file main.cpp with:
#include <cstddef>
int main()
{
return 0;
}
Then type the command:
gcc -H main.cpp -o main
If the compilation works, there must be a problem in your kit definition in QtCreator. Possibly make sure the folder where stddef.h is in the include file list of your kit. But you should not need to do that. Temporarily, you can add the include path to your project (see How to add include path in Qt Creator?) to check this is really the problem. Then you'll need to find a way to fix the kit for good.
If the compilation does not work, fix your environment (possibly using sashoalm's commented link). QtCreator is just and IDE, if you run it with a broken compiler it won't fix it for you. The compilation output will show where files (cstddef and then stddef.h) are picked from (-H option). Try cpp -v to see where included files are searched.
On my machine, compilation output gives me:
. /usr/include/c++/4.8/cstddef ..
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.8/bits/c++config.h ...
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.8/bits/os_defines.h ....
/usr/include/features.h .....
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/cdefs.h ......
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/wordsize.h .....
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu/stubs.h ......
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu/stubs-64.h ...
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.8/bits/cpu_defines.h ..
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include/stddef.h Multiple include
guards may be useful for: /usr/include/c++/4.8/cstddef
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/wordsize.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu/stubs-64.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu/stubs.h
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include/stddef.h
see stddef.h was found in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include
And cpp -v gives:
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include-fixed
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/include
End of search list.
Note: If you created the kit manually, I would recommend that you uninstall QtCreator. Make gcc work from a terminal and then reinstall QtCreator. This one should create the kits automatically and they should then work.
This is a common problem with QT I experience a lot with all versions of Fedora, the problem is that the path to "/usr/lib64/qt5/bin" is missing from the user environment.
To check for the path at a command line what the path is present set to enter the following: echo $PATH
You should see the "/usr/lib64/qt5/bin" listed somewhere in the response if it is not present then edit the .bashrc file in the root of your home directory as follows: -
Add QT5 build environment
if! [[ "$PATH" =~ "/usr/lib64/qt5/bin" ]]
then
PATH="/usr/lib64/qt5/bin:$PATH"
fi
Just above the "export PATH" statement
You will need to log off and on again for the changes to take effect.

setting up Marble to work with Qt

I am trying to set up Marble to work with Qt 5.5 on OSX. I'm not very experienced with the details of linking and such and I think that is causing the problem I am having.
Question: Did I screw up the 'marble` install or is this an easily solved linking issue?
Qt 5.5 is installed in my user directory (using Qt's network installer) on a system running OSX 10.9.5. It works fine. I followed the instructions on the Marble site to clone, build and install from source with (I believe) the appropriate Qt flags. That seemed to go without issue. When I try to build the simple test app listed here, the #include <marble/MarbleWidget.h> line gives a "file not found" error.
After the install I've ended up with the following:
A "marble" directory in my root user folder
A "Marble.app" file along with various other marble related files in the bin and include directories. However the Marble.app gives the following error on launch:
Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded:
#rpath/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore Referenced from:
/usr/local/Marble.app/Contents/MacOS/marble-qt Reason: image not
found
Binary Images:
0x7fff6a1f9000 - 0x7fff6a22c817 dyld (239.4) <7AD43B9B-5CEA-3C7E-9836-A06909F9CA56> /usr/lib/dyld
So a semi-solution: I used the Qt Creator "add Library" function and ended up with the following additions to the .pro file. I had to paste in the link to the lib since the dialog doesn't allow browsing of "usr/local/". Also, although I tried to link to the lib alias ("libmarblewidget-qt5.dylib"), the actual lib name is used.
macx: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/ -lmarblewidget-qt5.0.21.80
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
I don't understand what this $$PWD/../../../../../ business is.
But it worked and I am able to run the example code at the link in my question.
I wish this install/build stuff wasn't so damned arcane. I've spent endless hours just trying to get things set up – really sucks the joy out of exploring this stuff and I can't say I really learned much of anything from it.
Update
So I cleaned out the "$$PWD" crap and the literal lib name and it works. Not sure what difference it makes – but there you go.
macx: LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib/ -lmarblewidget-qt5
INCLUDEPATH +=/usr/local/include
DEPENDPATH +=/usr/local/include
Either the build is faulty or you need a different version of Qt installed to run it. Usually the app has the Qt libraries that it needs wrapped up in the app itself. If it's not in there it will search your mac for it. The message says that QtCore can't be found in either place. If you look inside Google's Google Earth, you can see where the libraries are stored. You can also copy a version of QtCore into your Marble to see if it will work.

Cant use shared libraries in Qt project

I created a C++ library project in Qt creator. After building the project I have the libMylib.so, .so.1, .so.1.0, .so.1.0.0, Makefile and mylib.o files. I added the library headers to my other project and added the path to my .pro file like this:
LIBS += "/home/peter/Workspace/build-Libtester-Desktop-Release/libMyLib.so"
When building the application I don't get no such file error, but when running it I get this:
/home/peter/Workspace/build-Libtester-Desktop-Debug/Libtester: error while loading shared libraries: libMyLib.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which I can't understand, because it's right there next to the .so which it seem to find, because when the path is wrong I get a no such file or directory error when trying to build the project.
Could someone explain what I'm missing here?
Thanks for your time.
Fortunately, your problem has nothing to do with both Qt and Qt Creator. The error simply boils down to how shared libraries are searched by LD for dynamic linking on Unix OS family.
Today, I've answered similar question, have a look, please. This question was asked in regard to Mac OS X. However, Linux and Mac OS X are the same in the context of your problem. I've provided additional explanation for Linux at the bottom, so pay attention to it. "it's right there next to the .so" - you seem to have Windows background if you make this assumption, but it is wrong for Unix OS family altogether (as stated in the answer too). If you have further questions, just ask.
You are adding the library incorrectly. You are doing:
LIBS += "/home/peter/Workspace/build-Libtester-Desktop-Release/libMyLib.so"
instead of:
LIBS += -L"/home/peter/Workspace/build-Libtester-Desktop-Release" -lMyLib
The first version works on windows, but not linux.
Basically, you create a library, which will be named "libMyLib.so", and then you specify the path to its folder, prepended by "-L" and then do "-lMyLib" at the end, note that it's not "-llibMyLib", but just "-lMyLib", despite the fact that the .so name is "libMyLib".

Installing Qt SDK, cannot link to the C++ libraries

So I have installed the QtSDK on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. However, it seems like when I try to run a simple program like hello world such as:
#include <iostream>
int main(....) {
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
}
My program first gets the error:
CreateProcess: No Such file or directory.
So what I did was I went to this link here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_MinGW_with_Vista
And I first tried to add the directory to the
PATH: C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\MinGW-Version
(my directory is slightly different but follows same idea)
where MinGW-Version is the Version of MinGW you are using
So now that got rid of that error but now I get the error:
iostream: No such file or directory
So now I add the path where the iostream library is and that fixes that error but then I get all these other errors where it can't find other standard C++ libraries such as stddef.h or stdio.h etc. So it seems as if the C++ libraries cannot be linked to. I have tried various other things such as including C:\MinGW\bin in my path and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Qt. Also I have checked that Qt is using the right gcc compiler by going to Tools->Options->Toolchains in Qt Creator.
It seems that the linking to C++ libraries is not correct for some reason. Could anyone help me or guide me as to why this may be happening and how to fix this?
I'm not sure why it's not working, so I'll just tell you how my environment is set up. I don't think you need to add any library paths to the system path. You should only need to add C:\MinGW\bin.
So get rid of everything except for that. Also, are you setting this through cmd or control panel? If doing it in the control panel, make sure you are putting it in the "Path" variable not "PATH" -> the former is in the lower box. I've had problems before using "PATH" in the upper box - not sure what the difference is to be honest.
The QtSDK installation usually install the mingw compiler for you in ...\QtSDK\mingw. The libraries and dlls in ...\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw were compiled with this compiler. The mingw compiler you installed to c:\MinGW may be a different version than that. If you want to use this compiler you would have to recompile the Qt libraries.
C++ librairies in Qt.
Go to this URL http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator-2.4/creator-overview.html for how to.
It seems (I did not try it, yet) that other librairies can be easily linked to a Qt Project.
This could solve the problem.

bld.inf not found error in carbide.c++ using qt

I am trying to build a Qt GUI Main Window project and get the following errors:
BLDMAKEERROR:Can't find "\Symbian....\BLD.INF
bldmake returned with exit value=1
In the last two days, I've re-installed above apps many times following all
installation guides; setting up the environment variables but nothing worked
out.
Kindly anyone help as I've been able to build even the Helloworld program.
Thanks in advance.
bld.inf gets generated by qmake from your .pro file. Have you run qmake on your project? In Carbide.C++ Qt perspective it's Project->Run qmake.
I got the same problem even w/o Qt and qmake. :( The problem is in the IDE: it generates wrong bld.inf! If you open folder "group", which contains bld.inf, you'll see the Icons_aif_scalable_dc.mk file, but in bld.inf it configured as
PRJ_MMPFILES
gnumakefile icons_scalable_dc.mk
And this is the source of the problem, so after changing icons_scalable_dc.mk on Icons_aif_scalable_dc.mk project will be built as it should.
