Compile errors in qtzeroconf on Windows with MinGW #326

zehnm · 2019-11-03T07:55:34Z

The Windows 10 development environment has been setup according to:
https://github.com/YIO-Remote/remote-software/blob/master/DEV%20ENVIRONMENT.md#windows

However there are multiple errors in the qtzeroconf / bonjour-sdk module.

unknown type name int64_t

D:/projects/yio/remote-software/qtzeroconf/bonjour-sdk/CommonServices.h:771:9: error: unknown type name 'int64_t'
 typedef int64_t int_least64_t;
         ^~~~~~~

This could be fixed with #include <stdint.h>in CommonServices.h in the #elif ( TARGET_OS_WIN32 ) block starting at line 234:

    #if ( defined( __MINGW32__ ) )
        #include <stdint.h>
    #endif

Looks like MinGW behaves differently than other compilers.

My assumption is that MinGW is not suited for this project on Windows.
Has anyone got this running on Windows? E.g. with the Visual Studio compiler?

Further analysis:

Installed VS 2019: no support in Qt Creator :-(
Installed VS 2017
- Qt Creator didn't fully detect VS kits (different compiler paths for C / C++).
- VS Compiler is way more restrictive (which is a good thing) and flagged all methods without a return value . --> easy fix
struct sockaddr_un is a Unix only structure!
- For Windows there's another configuration defined in qtzeroconf.pri:

win32 {
	DEFINES+= WIN32
	DEFINES+= NDEBUG
	DEFINES+= _WINDOWS
	DEFINES+= _USRDLL
	DEFINES+= MDNS_DEBUGMSGS=0
	DEFINES+= WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
	DEFINES+= USE_TCP_LOOPBACK
	DEFINES+= _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
	DEFINES+= _CRT_SECURE_CPP_OVERLOAD_STANDARD_NAMES=1
	DEFINES+= NOT_HAVE_SA_LEN
	QMAKE_CFLAGS+= -I$$PWD/bonjour-sdk
	QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+= -I$$PWD/bonjour-sdk -I$$PWD
	HEADERS+= $$PWD/qzeroconf.h $$PWD/bonjour_p.h
	SOURCES+= $$PWD/bonjour.cpp
	SOURCES+= $$PWD/bonjour-sdk/dnssd_clientlib.c
	SOURCES+= $$PWD/bonjour-sdk/dnssd_clientstub.c
	SOURCES+= $$PWD/bonjour-sdk/dnssd_ipc.c
	LIBS+= -lws2_32 -lwsock32
}

Important are USE_TCP_LOOPBACK & NOT_HAVE_SA_LEN

However they are NOT considered during a build!?
Manually defining them in dnssd_clientstub.c & .h makes it work. So there's something wrong with the Qt project setup!

zehnm · 2019-11-03T12:13:23Z

Got that little bugger! The problem was in remote.pro overriding all DEFINES:

include(qtzeroconf/qtzeroconf.pri)
DEFINES = QZEROCONF_STATIC

This is wrong and overrides all previous DEFINES in qtzeroconf.pri! Correct:

include(qtzeroconf/qtzeroconf.pri)
DEFINES += QZEROCONF_STATIC

martonborzak · 2019-11-03T12:20:30Z

Good catch @zehnm ! :)


        Fixed qtzeroconf compilation on Win10 with MinGW (#326)

- Fixed DEFINES in remote.pro to not override defines of qtzeroconf - Additional include for MinGW in CommonServices.h - Fixed missing returns for MSVC compiler This fixes #326

zehnm · 2019-11-03T13:01:20Z

Fixed in feature/project-setup branch. This issue will be resolved once #324 is merged to dev

One step closer to a working Windows app! All resources should be copied now at the right place. Unfortunately the plugin loading is still broken.


        Fixed Windows build and plugin loading (#326)

- Added missing resources in destination copy - Fixed plugin loading on Windows - Simplified plugin loading code Also part of #324

zehnm · 2019-11-03T16:10:48Z

Plugin loading fixed :-) Test case with only ir plugin inside plugins folder:

LOADING PLUGIN: "D:/projects/yio/binaries/windows/gcc/x86/debug/plugins/appletv.dll"
FAILED TO LOAD PLUGIN:  "The shared library was not found."
LOADING PLUGIN: "D:/projects/yio/binaries/windows/gcc/x86/debug/plugins/homeassistant.dll"
FAILED TO LOAD PLUGIN:  "The shared library was not found."
LOADING PLUGIN: "D:/projects/yio/binaries/windows/gcc/x86/debug/plugins/ir.dll"
qt.bluetooth: Dummy backend running. Qt Bluetooth module is non-functional.

Non available plugins fail, IR plugin succeeds.
