Problem on Windows 10

[matatasb]

Hello, First of all, I want to thank you all of you for your great job on MK and QtQuickVcp. I´ve installed via Vagrant the MachineKit SDK that Alexander made on two differents PCs. In one I could connect the Client with the server running on the virtal machine on Windows. Everything worked OK. In another installation I tried to do the same thing and I couldn´t connect. Later I tried to connect with the annddemo on BB but after I run the .py the client on Windows closed.

Is there any log file or something I could check or a way I could debug myself?

If I must, I could install Qt and try to debug the error. I don't have much experience, It will take more time, but I could try if there isn't other way.

Thank you all, Matias

You can start the client from the command line to see the debug output and potential error messages.

On Windows, there is the additional issue of choosing the graphic rendering engine. Can you please to set the QT_ANGLE_PLATFORM variable manually as mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27704529/deploying-qt5-on-windows-without-hardware-acceleration

For this purpose, you need to create a Batch script (.bat file). You can add pause at the end of the file to keep the window open or run it directly from the command line (Shift-Right-Click > Open command shell here in Windows Explorer.

Debugging on Windows is a little bit more complicated. You need to install the Windows SDK (VS Studio Express/Community) and a few more things. If you want to try it please take a look the README file.

Hello Alex, Thank you for your response. I tried what you told me but I the console didn't log anything. I checked the firewall, uninstalled the anti-virus. Is there any command I could add like -d to to debug? Just after I start the server on the BB the program crush. I tried what you said about QT_ANGLE_PLATFORM but I don't feel confident with that... I followed the README instruction to compile and run QtQuickVCP on Qt. I'm still finding some troubles on that, but I want to try a few more things before I bother someone or you with that issue. If you have any other idea, I will give it a try. Thank you, Matias

Have you tried creating a batch script setting the QT_ANGLE_PLATFORM environment variable? Suitable values are:

• d3d11: Use Direct3D 11
• d3d9: Use Direct3D 9
• warp: Use the Direct3D 11 software rasterizer See also: http://ss64.com/nt/set.html

SET QT_ANGLE_PLATFORM=d3d11
machinekit-client.exe

Hello, thank you again for your support. I tried what you said, but there wasn't any change. I'm trying with the simplest example (anddenmo). I ran the command eventvwr and give the next message in the log:

Hello, I tried to ping the Virtual Machine but I didn't have a response from it. I uninstalled 2 programs related to Ethernet conection, the only one I remember was Nmap (maybe the other was a driver or something like that of that program). After that everything works perfect.

Thank you for your support and the magnifiecient work that you are doing. Now I'm working on a interface based on gmocappy's plasma appereance to be used in QtQuickVCP. For me it's a long learning curve but very funny. If someday I feel confident enough I would like to make a mini-tutorial for QtQuickVCP and the design of GUIs.

Thank you again! You can close the issue.

Nice to hear that it works now.

I really would appreciate to see a mini-tutorial for QtQuickVcp.
