Can't find ui_webauthdialog.h

[tchernomax]

Hello,

I am trying to fix https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openfortivpn-webview-qt

qtwebengine reference a ui_webauthdialog.h in it's examples… but I can't find it

https://github.com/qt/qtwebengine/blob/dev/examples/webenginewidgets/simplebrowser/webauthdialog.h#L10

Any clue ?

@tchernomax
ui_....h files are generated from ....ui Designer source files, which are created in that designer. When you run a build the project, the rules should invoke the .ui file compiler, named uic, and that reads from a .ui in your source directory and outputs a corresponding ui_....h file in the build output directory. Which you then #include into your corresponding source file for the designer file. So run a build and see if it gets generated. If not your build rules are not set up correctly, and depends on whether you are using qmake or cmake.

@JonB thanks !

I had more problems, which I managed to fixed.

My PKGBUILD was using qmake6, but that doesn't generate ui_webauthdialog.h.
I tried qmake, but :

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets

I tried cmake, it doesn't worked at first … but it was due to the facts my qt6* packages where all in the same version (I think the archlinux repository weren't fully sync the last time I did an update)
→ after fixing my qt6* package, cmake worked.

(note: I retried qmake6 and qmake with good qt6* packages → they still fails)

So in short : I needed to use cmake ., then make (as stated in the README.md).

Thanks for your help
