Qt5Compat not installed

chairman

I want to use QtGraphicalEffects in qt6 by ```
import Qt5Compat.QtGraphicalEffects

Am getting Qt5Compat not installed error.

From installation folder  Qt5Compat is already installed.

As per Qt Docs import statement

import Qt5Compat.GraphicalEffects

https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/graphicaleffects5.html

in order to link against the module in cmake

find_package(Qt6 COMPONENTS Core5Compat REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(mytarget PUBLIC Qt6::Core5Compat)

Pleas re-read your post and ask yourself if someone without your own knowledge can really understand what your problem is.

@nagesh it seems like this is supposed to be added in C++ main file but am using qt for python. Correct me if am wrong. If so where specific am I supposed to add this. Thank you.

@chairman I feel import statement is part of qml file
import Qt5Compat.GraphicalEffects

And CMakeLists.txt
find_package(Qt6 COMPONENTS Core5Compat REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(mytarget PUBLIC Qt6::Core5Compat)

Not sure about qt for python

chairman

Thanks, it worked with C++ by adding below line
in project.pro, unfortunately python project don't create this file.
But incase anyone else has a python workaround please share.

QT += core5compat
