QChart missing from project and github clone

[sbridger]

QChart doesn't clone from github and QChart is not in the project file.

so unless this can be fixed, these instructions should be added into the project somewhere:

What I did: in folder QML -> git bash console git clone move contents of new folder "chart.js" to folder QChart In QCreator, project treeview, At top "GPSINFO" right click -> "add existing directory" ->QChart

What you should theoretically need to do: (see https://gist.github.com/gitaarik/8735255):

git clone <gpsinfo url>
git submodule update --init

---

also changing

Chart {

to

QChart {

removes the unknown component error.

Doesn't it work with git submodule init and git submodule update?

This is all new to me, so I have no idea.

The point is: I follow the generic github instructions i.e. git clone xxxx, and it doesn't work.

So, instructions are needed since it is a non-obvious git function + silent fault (because if you already have gpsinfo installed , it all works).

Probably also put a note in the source where Chart is instantiated, as that is where the error message will send you.

I have to check the readme for this, but I'm afraid you are right - I'll have to update the little documentation there is. Using submodules is quite common these days, but I was in the same situation once too, so I understand your frustration.

Also, Chart element wasn't available until some later Qt version that SFOS uses, I think, but I could check it again and try to use it instead. (That could also explain why QChart was seemingly abandoned so quickly...)

Sorry for the delay... Okay, so there's no readme at all..! Gotta fix that :sweat_smile:
