Build not successful for a non QT project

mishraab

Hi SGaist,

As I am new to QT so I am sending all the steps I followed before building the project. Please tell me if somewhere I did something wrong. These steps will help you to narrow down the cause of the problem.

Steps I followed:

I have all the source and header files so,

Step1. New Project -> Import Project -> Import Existing Project <Choose Project Name as "Demo"> -> <location "C:\Documents\TXX" > and then finish.
path "C:\Documents\TXX" contains all my header files and source files.

Step2. Now I have files named Demo.files, Demo.includes, Demo.config and Demo.creator in location "C:\Documents\TXX".

Step3. Now to generate .pro file, hence I opened the Command Prompt (QT 5.3 for Desktop(MingW 4.8 32 bit)) and jumped into location "C:\Documents\TXX", and generated ".pro file and make files" by using commands:
1. qmake -project => TXX.pro got generated in the same location.

           2. qmake -o Makefile TXX.pro => Makefile, Makefile.Release and Makefile.debug got generated in same location.

Step4. I modified my .pro file as :
TEMPLATE = app => modified to => TEMPLATE = lib (since I want .dll file to be generated)
TARGET = TXX
INCLUDEPATH += {I tried it with both Absoulte and Relative paths but no benefit}.
CONFIG += build_all {just for experiment but it has no side effect} HEADERS += <path to all header files inside TXX>
SOURCES += <path to all source files inside TXX>

Step5. I also explicitly tried to add path into qt explorer but no benfit;
tools->options-> under C++ sections -> File Naming tab -> search paths : I added the same path to ORMutex.h => no benefit.

When I try to build/rebuild the project, I get some warnings followed by one error.
Warnings: overriding/ignoring recipe/old recipe for targer release/.o files in file "Makefile.release".
Error: 'ORmutex.h' no such file or directory, However when I hover down my cursor over ORmutex,h where error had come, I can see the location of the header file that means file is present there.

What could be the cause of the issue.
Please analyse.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Abhishek

Can you show your pro file content ?

mishraab

@
TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET = STT
INCLUDEPATH += path to XXT folder <I tried with relative path also>
CONFIG += build_all

Input

HEADERS += swtdus_swtools/stt/aeneasversion.h
swtdus_swtools/sttdecoder_3gfw/sttdecoder_3gfw.h
<other header files>
SOURCES += swtdus_swtools/baselibs/src/orexception.cpp
swtdus_swtools/baselibs/src/ormutex.cpp
<other source files>

Thanks !!

Are you using the unix notation for all your paths ?

mishraab

INCLUDEPATH += C:/Users/mishraab/Documents/XXT/ I am using this notation, I had tried with black slash also.

mishraab

header and source paths ate automatically generated.

What do you mean by that ?

mishraab

When we generate .pro file using command : "qmake -project", the path to all header files and source files got copied to .pro file automatically.
I followed the same notation (for path) in my INCLUDEPATH variable.

I was trying to say this. What could be the problem ?? any idea?

SGaist

Something's not clear:
You have

@C:\prj\ormut.cpp:@

and

@swtdus_swtools/baselibs/src/orexception.cpp@

Are these files in the same folder ?

mishraab

C:\prj\ormut.cpp: where is this file?

Are you talking about ormutex.cpp ???? in swtdus_swtools/baselibs/src directory, i have 2 files ormutex.cpp and orexception.cpp; in the same folder.

similar 7-8 warnings and 1 error:
@
C:\prj\ormut.cpp: 15: error: ormutex.h: No such file or directory
#include "ormutex.h" // class ORMutex
^
@
Thanks in advance.[/quote]

That one

SGaist

Yes, that's clear. The question is: where is that file and ormutex.h exactly located ?
