Windows 8 64 bit: MachineClient does not find HalRemote/machinekithalremoteplugin.dll

[sirop]

I can build MachineClient for Win 8 64 bit with msvc2013, however when being started from within QtCreator the latter yields:

Starte D:\MachinekitClient\buildx64_msvc2013\release\machinekit-client.exe...
qml: Starting to load the main application.
qrc:///main.qml:33:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "Machinekit.HalRemote":

qml: Hiding the splash screen.
qml: Deleting the splash screen.

although:

$ ls D:/Qt/qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-rev0/qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-rev0/qml/Machinekit/HalRemote/
Controls  machinekithalremoteplugin.dll  qmldir

machinekithalremoteplugin.dll is there.

Compiling works fine? Did you follow these steps here: https://github.com/strahlex/QtQuickVcp/wiki/Installing-protobuf-and-zeromq#windows

I was not able to get it running. That's why there are no 64bit builds so far.

Yes, compiling works fine with msvc2013 x64 , although the compilation of QtQuickVcp yields over 1000 warnings: https://gist.github.com/sirop/1eed3cc6ded3533e48b5 .

I used Community and not Express edition of Visual Studio, but I do not think that the compilers in both editions are different.

This line

[ ? ]  LIBZMQ.DLL       Error opening file. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden (2).

about libzmq.dll being not found is from text output of Dependency Walker for d:\qt\qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0\qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0\qml\machinekit\halremote\MACHINEKITHALREMOTEPLUGIN.DLL

It was not quite clear to me where libzmq.dll has to be copied to.

I do not give up the idea of 64 bit build, just postpone it for a while.

Ok. I slept a night over it. Do not know what happened yesterday, maybe, I just mixed up some paths. Anyway I got further with Win x64 build:

That's the application output from the QtCreator:

Starte D:\QtProjects\MachinekitClient\build_x64_msvc2013_opengl_Release\release\machinekit-client.exe...
qml: Starting to load the main application.
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
qml: Main application loaded.
qml: Finishing the splash screen progress bar.
qml: Hiding the splash screen.
qml: Deleting the splash screen.

So I am at least one step further now with x64 build as MachineClient does not crash any more right at the splash screen as seen before.

Besides mixing up some paths the choice of Qt 5.4.2 build with opengl might be the reason, as before I erroneously used Qt 5.4.2 without opengl. http://sourceforge.net/projects/qt64ng/files/qt/x86-64/5.4.2/msvc2013/qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0.exe/download

I don't think so. But I assume you followed https://github.com/strahlex/QtQuickVcp/wiki/Installing-protobuf-and-zeromq#windows ? Did you copy the dlls to the lib folder (the description "correct folder" is not very clear I agree). You have to copy it to the folder where all the other .dll files are located. I think it is either lib or bin in QtSDK/msvc*/5.5/ Please let me know which folder it is so I can update it accordingly (have no Windows machine at hand to check it out)

Yes, I copied libzmq.dll to D:\Qt\qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0\qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0\bin .

machinetalk-protobuf.lib is also in D:\Qt\qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0\qt-5.4.2-x64-msvc2013-opengl-rev0\bin , but I do no remember if I copied it manually.

Can we close this issue?
