Cannot build QtXlsxWriter by mingw 4.8.2 (32bit) #60

Matumba · 2014-11-01T16:20:22Z

Hi!
I had installed Qt 5.3.2, mingw 4.8.2,ActivePerl 5.16.3 on my windows 7(32 bit).
After I unzipped 'QtXlsxWriter-master' to custom folder I opened cmd with admin privileges and moved (cd) to 'C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter'
I completed 3 commands:
qmake
mingw32-make -j3
mingw32-make install
After all of this I can include only QtXlsxDepends (like there #44)

What did I do wrongly?

QtXlsxDepends:

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-02T13:15:36Z

Hi, has your perl been added to your system path?

You can run following command to see whether it works or not.

perl -v

Matumba · 2014-11-02T15:55:46Z

Hi, 5.16.3

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-03T01:02:04Z

Hi, when you run qmake, Qt's perl script syncqt.pl will be called automatically. Can you found following message?

Project MESSAGE: perl -w C:\Qt\Qt5.3.2\5.3\msvc2010_opengl\bin\syncqt.pl -module
 QtXlsx -version 0.3.0 -outdir F:/Qt-Projects/build-qtxlsx-MSVC2010_Qt5_x86-Debu
g F:/Qt-Projects/QtXlsxWriter

Matumba · 2014-11-03T13:18:08Z

Hi, after I had run qmake I had this on my console:

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-03T14:44:11Z

Hi, maybe this is a bug of Qt's build system. You can give a try to the "shadow build" to see what will happen.

Download source code, then unzip it to a custom directory, such as C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter
Create an new empty directory for build, such as C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter-build
In the build directory, run following command

qmake ..\QtXlsxWriter
make
make install

Matumba · 2014-11-03T15:26:26Z

cd C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter-build
qmake ..\QtXlsxWriter
mingw32-make -j3
mingw32-make install
again only QtXlsxDepends

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-04T01:32:02Z

Hi, I have no idea what's wrong with Qt's qmake build ;-( .

Maybe you can give a try to giving a -r option to the qmake.

qmake -r
make
make install

If it's still doesn't work, run following command to find the debug information.

qmake -d 2> build_xlsx.log

Matumba · 2014-11-04T05:35:46Z

Hi, What should I do with that log's file (except reading ofc.)?

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-04T14:28:55Z

The log file contains the qmake runtime information. For example, from which we can see whether the perl script syncqt.pl works or not.

However, the log file is not easy to understandard. as many xxxx.prf and xxxx.pri files get loaded when we run qmake.

Matumba · 2014-11-05T10:53:58Z

in the logs, I noticed that there is't any information about using perl scripts.

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-07T05:01:08Z

Sorry, I have no idea what's wrong with your build system.

The log file affected by many factors, such as in-source/showdow build, with/without -r , number of -d, etc.

Hope others can reproduce this issue in their computer.

tosty33 · 2014-11-11T23:28:55Z

Got that same issue too, I can include only QtXlsxDepends, nothing else :/

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-12T08:22:42Z

Hi Crypton33, can you provided more information for this?

In order to find which cause this issue, I simply download the Qt5.3.2 from http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.2.exe

After install the Qt5.3.2, I try to build Qt Xlsx with it.

But I could not reproduce this issue, It works very well under my Window 8.1 (X64) system. So I don't know what's wrong with your build system.

SidMeier · 2014-11-23T16:00:47Z

Got same issue on Win7(x64).
I do as you say:

I simply download the Qt5.3.2 from http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.2.exe

After install the Qt5.3.2, I try to build Qt Xlsx with it.

I add make install build step in project menu in Qt Creator and then just build project - but got no headers except QtXlsxDepends.

P.S. No problems with same on Ubuntu...

SidMeier · 2014-11-23T16:48:23Z

I can't explain, but this version works https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1bEKZzKkrRnaWdXMGRFU3h0dkk/view?usp=sharing

This version i was download several days ago from github and successfully install it on my Ubuntu. But today i was try to install master version again - and it can't build headers except QtXlsxDepends both on Ubuntu and Win7... But version from top of this message works... both on Ubuntu and Win7...

luckyhacky · 2014-11-24T00:01:11Z

Same error in WIN7 - used QT5.3.2
I think there is a problem in the generated Makefiles.
excerpt from Makefile.Debug

install_targ_headers: all FORCE @test -d C:$(INSTALL_ROOT)/Qt/Qt5.3.2/5.3/mingw482_32/include/QtXlsx || mkdir -p C:$(INSTALL_ROOT)/Qt/Qt5.3.2/5.3/mingw482_32/include/QtXlsx -$(INSTALL_FILE) C:/Qt/qxls/QtXlsxWriter-master/include/QtXlsx/QtXlsxDepends C:$(INSTALL_ROOT)/Qt/Qt5.3.2/5.3/mingw482_32/include/QtXlsx/

Ubuntu is working well.

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-24T01:43:02Z

FYI,

Source directory in my computer is F:\Qt-Projects\QtXlsxWriter

The build directory for qt5-mingw is F:\Qt-Projects\build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug

After run the following qmake command in the build directory

qmake -r  -d ..\QtXlsxWriter 2> a.log

I can find following message in the log file.

DEBUG 1: D:/qt/Qt5.3.2/5.3/mingw482_32/mkspecs/features/qt_installs.prf:35: targ_headers.files := xlsxabstractooxmlfile.h xlsxabstractsheet.h xlsxcell.h xlsxcellformula.h xlsxcellrange.h xlsxcellreference.h xlsxchart.h xlsxchartsheet.h xlsxconditionalformatting.h xlsxdatavalidation.h xlsxdocument.h xlsxformat.h xlsxglobal.h xlsxrichstring.h xlsxworkbook.h xlsxworksheet.h ../../../build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug/include/QtXlsx/qtxlsxversion.h ../../../build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug/include/QtXlsx/QtXlsx F:/Qt-Projects/build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug/include/QtXlsx/QtXlsxDepends

DEBUG 1: D:/qt/Qt5.3.2/5.3/mingw482_32/mkspecs/features/qt_installs.prf:37: INSTALLS := dlltarget target class_headers targ_headers

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-24T02:07:41Z

Once I open the feature file qt_installs.prf, I found following code

#headers
qt_install_headers {
    targ_headers.files = $$SYNCQT.HEADER_FILES
    targ_headers.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_HEADERS]/$$MODULE_INCNAME
    INSTALLS += targ_headers

Which told me that the file name get from a qmake variable call SYNCQT.HEADER_FILES.

We can find the SYNCQT.HEADER_FILES in the generated file F:\Qt-Projects\build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug\include\QtXlsx\headers.pri :

SYNCQT.HEADER_FILES = xlsxabstractooxmlfile.h xlsxabstractsheet.h xlsxcell.h xlsxcellformula.h xlsxcellrange.h xlsxcellreference.h xlsxchart.h xlsxchartsheet.h xlsxconditionalformatting.h xlsxdatavalidation.h xlsxdocument.h xlsxformat.h xlsxglobal.h xlsxrichstring.h xlsxworkbook.h xlsxworksheet.h ../../../build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug/include/QtXlsx/qtxlsxversion.h ../../../build-qtxlsx-Desktop_Qt_5_3_MinGW_32bit-Debug/include/QtXlsx/QtXlsx

And this file is generated by a perl script call syntqt.pl

So, IMO, the issue should be caused by the perl script not properly running.

zechen11 · 2014-11-26T10:25:50Z

I got the same issue too. It seems that the qmake doesn't call syncqt.pl automatically. So I run syncqt.pl by myself. It will work like this:

perl -w C:\Qt\Qt5.3.2\5.3\mingw482_32\bin\syncqt.pl -module QtXlsx -version 0.3.0

qmake

mingw32-make

mingw32-make install

But "shadow build" like below will not work:

Download source code, then unzip it to a custom directory, such as C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter
Create an new empty directory for build, such as C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter-build
In the build directory C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter-build, run following command:

perl -w C:\Qt\Qt5.3.2\5.3\mingw482_32\bin\syncqt.pl -module QtXlsx -version 0.3.0 -outdir C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter-build C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter

qmake C:\Qt\QtXlsxWriter\qtxlsx.pro

mingw32-make

mingw32-make install

Why?

dbzhang800 · 2014-11-26T15:55:10Z

Hi all,

I figure out why the syncqt.pl doesn't work for you.
A fake .git directory or file is need by the syncqt.pl script to run. You will get the .git directory when you clone from git, but it doesn't exist in the.zip or .tar.gz source package.

As a woraround one can create an empty .git directory in source tree.

More information can be found in
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32397

syncqt.pl won't be called by qmake if .git directory or file doesn't exist. We manual set git_build flag here. Otherwise, syncqt.pl should be called before we release .zip/.tar.gz package.

Matumba · 2014-12-01T14:07:22Z

Hi, thanks you for your advice to clone your repository from git. Now it's work.

Matumba · 2014-12-01T14:14:00Z

Sorry, but can you tell my how I can add doc (I did mingw32-make html_docs) to QtCreator?

dbzhang800 · 2014-12-01T14:45:22Z

Hi, make docs instead of make html_docs should be used if you want to generate documentation for QtCreator or Qt Assistant.

Matumba · 2014-12-01T16:30:33Z
