Bluetooth Low Energy example doesn't work

[aha_1980]

@Ashi said in Bluetooth Low Energy example doesn't work:

Can anyone help me?
I found this but still confused!
Does Qt supports Bluetooth API on Windows 10?

By reading the docs, no. At least not until someone provides a suitable driver.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

IIRC, the wip/win branch of the module provides preliminary support for BLE. However you have to build it yourself.

[Ashi]

Thanks @SGaist ,

I tried to do the following:
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git
cd qtconnectivity
git checkout wip/win

But still the same problem. The devices list is empty.
Did I do something wrong? or miss something?
Thank you very much!

@Ashi
Hi and you did also build it ?

[Ashi]

@mrjj yes I did.

[mrjj]

@Ashi
and make install ?
so its installed into Qt ?

[Ashi]

@Ashi How can I make install?? Could you please explain?
Thanks in advance!

[SGaist]

nmake install in the build folder if you are using Visual Studio and mingw32-make install if you are using MinGW

@SGaist After made make install I got the following:

And still after running the example again, the devices list is empty.

As the error suggests: you are missing Perl. Install it.

It’s normal noting changed, the module wasn’t even built.

[Ashi]

@SGaist During installation process of QT this problem occurred:

So I clicked 'Ignore'.
Then I tried to install "C:\Qt\Qt5.10.0\Tools\Perl52213_32\strawberry-perl-5.22.1.3-32bit.msi
but nothing changed.
I tried to reinstall it and disabled Antivirus and the same error appeared.
Is there anyway to overcome this problem?

[SGaist]

Did it install successfully ?
If so did you try to call perl from a new command prompt ?

[Ashi]

@SGaist I restarted the Qt command line and the error that related to Perl disappeared and I got the following:

Thanks for your response!

@Ashi Shouldn't you "nmake install" what you cloned from the repository before?

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git
cd qtconnectivity
git checkout wip/win
...
nmake
nmake install

[SGaist]

You should also use the correct command line prompt for building especially if you start with the one provided by Visual Studio.

@Ashi Sorry, I'm too late to answer this post. I think you should try with msvc compiler, not mingw
