Use QT Creator to build qelecotech source code under windows (Page 1 of 2)

@scorpio810:
It is my great honor to receive your reply.
I followed the link instructions you sent to operate step by step. But, this problem occurred every time, and I did not know what was wrong. Could you please tell me in detail?

It's more easy to compile on Linux, like Ubuntu/Debian if you know?

Hmm try:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%QTPATH% -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$QTPATH -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=D:\QT\Tools\mingw730_64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\libz.a

The reason why the source code is compiled,because I added some pictures and colors to the source code according to the work requirements.But,After modifying the code the QT compiler keeps telling me it's missing Project ERROR: Unknown module (s) in QT: KWidgetsAddons KCoreAddons.

TRY to copy your  KWidgetsAddons KCoreAddons. mkspecs/modules/*.pri  to D:\QT\5.15.2\mingw73_32\mkspecs\modules\

After in D:\QT\5.15.2\mingw73_32\mkspecs \modules\

edit  KWidgetsAddons KCoreAddons pri files like :
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build … note_53888

Replace "$$PWD/../../" by real PATH in KWidgetsAddons KCoreAddons pri

See my example on OSX,

====== Installing development tools for Microsoft Windows======
===== Install Qt: =====
Follow the instructions in this https://guillaumebelz.github.io/qtinstall in order to correctly install Qt

Create the QTPATH environment variable. For that :
Go to the Windows control panel, in the search bar type 'environment variable', in the result go to 'Modify system environment variables', in the dialog click on 'Environment variable' in the new dialog in 'system variable' click on 'new'.

Variable name:

QTPATH

value of the variable:

C:\Qt\5.15.0\mingw81_64

The path will need to be adapted according to your case.

Add minGW to the PATH environment variable, to do this:

Go to the Windows control panel, in the search bar type 'environment variable', in the result go to 'Modify system environment variables', in the dialog click on 'Environment variable' in the new dialog in 'system variable' select the 'Path' line then click on modify. In the 'Variable value' field add at the end

;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\bin\

the path will have to be adapted according to your case.
===== Installing cmake =====
Download the installer from the https://cmake.org/install/

During installation if you are asked to add cmake to the PATH do so (for all users) otherwise you will have to manually add the cmake bin folder to the PATH, see the procedure above. The path will be something like ''C:\Program Files\CMake\bin''.
===== ECM =====
The procedure used comes from this https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 120#p10120

Download https://github.com/KDE/extra-cmake-modules then unzip it to the folder of your choice.
In a command guest:

cd (path of ecm)
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%QTPATH% -G "MinGW Makefiles"
mingw32-make install

Compile KwidgetAddons and KcoreAddons (libraries used by QElectroTech)
The procedure used comes from this forum post and this one.

KCoreAddons
https://github.com/KDE/kcoreaddons
Download KCoreAddons and unzip it to the folder of your choice. In a command guest:

cd (path of kcoreaddons)
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%QTPATH% -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$QTPATH -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libz.a
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

the path C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libz.a must be adapted according to your case.

Rename C:\Qt\5.15.0\mingw81_64\lib\libKF5CoreAddons.dll.a to libKF5CoreAddons.a (Path to adapt according to your case).

KWidgetAddons
https://github.com/KDE/kwidgetsaddons
Download KWidgetAddons and unzip it to the folder of your choice. In a command guest:

cd (kwidgetsaddons path)
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%QTPATH% -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$QTPATH -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libz.a
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

the path C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libz.a must be adapted according to your case.

Rename C:\Qt\5.15.0\mingw81_64\lib\libKF5WidgetsAddons.dll.a to libKF5WidgetsAddons.a (Path to adapt according to your case).

Retrieve QElectrotech sources with git
Install git for windows.

Download the code from the github repository https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectr … rce-mirror

git clone https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectrotech-source-mirror.git
cd qelectrotech-source-mirror.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..\qelectrotech.pro
make -j8

Maybe send D:/QET_Chinese/kcoreaddons-master/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

https://api.kde.org/ecm/module/ECMQueryQt.html

include(ECMQueryQt)
ecm_query_qt(bin_dir QT_INSTALL_BINS)
These two lines of code are at the beginning of the CMakeList.txt file in the kcoreaddons-master directory.This error occurs:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    ECMQueryQt

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (ecm_query_qt):
  Unknown CMake command "ecm_query_qt".

It would be an honor for me to be able to help everyone.
However, according to your instructions, when compiling Qelecotech, because my source code is directly downloaded from github and modified, I skipped the git clone in your instructions https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectr … or.git,git submodule update --init -- recursive
mkdir build. Go directly to the directory where qelectrotech is located and start the following steps:mkdir build,cd build.But，When I'm doing this step: qmake.. qelectrotech.pro, I get this error: 'qmake' is not an internal or external command, nor is it a runnable program
or batch files.

hello,
I use it in the terminal:C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin\qmake ..\qelectrotech.pro.This error occurred:Info: creating stash file D:\QET_Chinese\qelectrotech\build\.qmake.stash.

I think the reason for this error is that I made changes to the source code,And then,I take it from what you gave above [https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectr … rce-mirror]

Downloaded a source code,Manually unzip it to a folder,Start the following command:
cd D:\QET_Chinese\qelectrotech;mkdir build;cd build;C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin\qmake ..\qelectrotech.pro;

This error occurred:Info: creating stash file D:\QET_Chinese\qelectrotech-source-mirror-master\build\.qmake.stash
Cannot read D:/QET_Chinese/qelectrotech-source-mirror-master/SingleApplication/singleapplication.pri:
No such file or directory.
Could you tell me the detailed solution?
