How do I install qml-material in order to use it in my applications as normal QML import? Do I have to copy the qml files every time to my project or can I use it somehow like a shared libary?

iBelieve commented 9 years ago

The README has build instructions that should work fine on Windows (minus the use of sudo, a Linux/OS X command):

qmake
make
make install

This will install the framework in your system's QML modules directory so you can use it as a shared framework with import Material 0.1

I am a bit lost with windows here. On my linux laptop I have no problems installing qml-material. I succesful created a Makefile and copied it to the qml-extra directory. But when I try to use the make command with the mingw32-make.exe I get the following error message:

C:\Qt\Tools\mingw491_32\bin>  mingw32-make.exe make C:\Users\Elias\Documents\GitHu
b\qml-extras
mingw32-make.exe: *** No rule to make target 'make'.  Stop.

Thanks!

@kelteseth Try changing directories to C:\Users\Elias\Documents/GitHub\qml-extras and then run _C:\Qt\Tools\mingw49132\bin\mingw32-make.exe install

I do wonder why you copied a Makefile, though... That sounds wrong. Qmake should have created the Makefile in place for you.

nathanielhourt commented 9 years ago

@cgafeng You're using the mingw32 make utility, but your Qt build is for MSVC 2010. I'm not sure if you can mix those two. That might be your issue here; I'm not sure. You might need to use nmake if you want to stick with the MSVC build of Qt, but I have no idea how to use it.

nathanielhourt commented 9 years ago

@kelteseth It looks like Qt's MinGW gcc is not in PATH, which it requires. If you use QtCreator to manage the project, it will set PATH for you, but you can also add gcc's path (I think it's in C:\Qt\Tools\mingw491_32\bin on your system) to PATH yourself.

@nathanhourt Ive added 'C:\Qt\Tools\mingw48_32\bin' and 'C:\Qt\Tools\mingw491_32\libexec\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\4.9.1' to my windows path (http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/CppInstallErrorGppErrorCreateProcessNoSuchFileOrDirectory.htm) but now I get an error message that the libwinpthread-1.ddl is missing:

The output you pasted is the same as before...

kelteseth commented 9 years ago

Update: I successful copied the copiled files from my fedroa laptop /home/Kelteseth/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/qml/Material to my windows pc mingw folder and its works fine. Its also works on my android device. Maybe we could use github releases for the windows folks out there ;)

iBelieve commented 9 years ago

@kelteseth The install instructions work fine and are cross-platform, there is just something wrong with your local setup.

nimaim commented 9 years ago

For the record, instead of trying to compile Qt apps in Windows yourself (which is a chore because the included mingw toolchain is very stripped down/limited), I would HIGHLY recommend cross-compiling Windows Qt apps in Linux using MXE (https://github.com/mxe/mxe). I've gone through many headaches before settling on this seamless solution.

neitsa commented 9 years ago

As a side note (if that's of any help to someone), if you are on Windows with Visual C++ installed and you don't have the make command available:

Prerequisites

Have visual Studio c++ installed (if you want to compile the tests)
Have Qt installed with QtCreator (this is important to have QtCreator installed).

Note: I'm using a Windows x64 system with Visual C++ 2013 and a x64 Qt (5.5.1 as I'm writing this).

How-to

Start a Visual Studio c++ command prompt (e.g "VS2013 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt")
With that prompt, go into your Qt installation and start the Qt environment *.bat file (it's in the bin directory of your Qt installation):
- e.g: C:\Qt\Qt5.5.1\5.5\msvc2013_64\bin\qtenv2.bat
Ensure the QtCreator bin directory path is in your %PATH% env variable, add it if it's not:
- e.g: set path=C:\Qt\Qt5.5.1\Tools\QtCreator\bin\;%PATH%
- The purpose is to have jom.exe (which is in the QtCreator directory) in your PATH. Jom is a make compatible tool from Qt.
Git clone qml-material repository
Go into this repository with your VS++ prompt, then:

> qmake
> jom all
> jom install

You should have now the test executable and qml-material installed:

e.g.: C:\Qt\Qt5.5.1\5.5\msvc2013_64\tests\tst_material.exe for the test executable
e.g.: C:\Qt\Qt5.5.1\5.5\msvc2013_64\qml\Material for the qml-material directory

Testing the demo

With your prompt (you must have the Qt bin directory in your PATH)

> qmlscene .\demo\main.qml

Hope that is of any help.

When run 'jom all', got this error: C:\Qt\Qt5.5\5.5\msvc2013_64\include\QtCore/qglobal.h(39) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cstddef': No such file or directory Looks like unix '\' problem?

ethanhs commented 8 years ago

I would also like to point out that once you run qmake, you can run nmake install on MSVC compiler, and then restarting Creator will allow you to import Material 0.1

Kunoacc commented 8 years ago

when i run make i qet an error code 604 with the Qt 5.5 command tool and the MSVC 2015 cross compiler doesnt recognize gcc

ethanhs commented 8 years ago

@Kunoacc on Windows, if you are using MSVC, then you run nmake not make if you want to install it for future use, you use nmake install

Kunoacc commented 8 years ago

nmake error nmake install outputs this error after copying a few files

ethanhs commented 8 years ago

@Kunoacc I think a little needs to be explained. VS cross compiler is not like the other *nix cross compilers. Instead of compiling for different Operating Systems, it compiles for 2 different architectures, so that it runs on x86 and x86_64 on windows. It will not generate a program for linux, or unix. That is why it is telling you it cannot find g++. In general, you cannot really mix MinGW (which you are using for Qt) and Visual Studio (which you are using for make). My suggestion is that you either install MinGW and add that to your path, or install a version of qt that has qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvcXXXX, where XXXX is the year of the Visual Studio version you are running. Hope this helps.

Kunoacc commented 8 years ago

but what is that last block of code for because as it stands i can still import Material 0.1 but i can't edit it with the designer, the form is just blank

ethanhs commented 8 years ago

This is running the tests, which failed. You didn't give the full output, but it seems the test failed because it couldn't find g++, I don't know why Material installed. Also, I do not believe Material supports the designer. You may have to do some of the work by hand. I could be wrong.

J031PC commented 8 years ago

What would be the best setting to work on Windows, what version of QT and compilers are optimal? I tried with the comment @neitsa works "qmlscene" command but I can not run the executable, I have problems with icons not loading using "qmlscene". captura

papyros / qml-material

Install on Windows #73
