Mageia forum

Hello,
I am using Mageia 3 and having problems in using QPaint related features. I installed QtCreator and others that I believe are required. But strangely QtGui is not to be found anywhere. Even more puzzling is that libQtGui.so exists but not the header file!

Code: Select all

$ locate -i QtGui | grep -v PyQt
/usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4
/usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4.8
/usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4.8.4
$ qmake -v
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.0.2 in /usr/lib64/qt5/lib
$


I also did not find libqtgui5 in repos but libqtgui4 is available.

Could anyone suggest me a solution please?
Thanks,

I think you are looking for QT include files like qwidget.h,
so the most appropriate command to find the package containing it is

Code: Select all

urpmf qwidget.h

which should say theat you need to install the package lib64qt4-devel or libqt4-devel

Search for libqt5gui5 (or lib64qt5gui5). The package naming scheme seems to have changed somewhat for QT5.
You probably also want one or more "lib(64)qt5" devel packages - there are a lot of them.

Thank you jkerr82508 and tom_. I could get QPaint to work after the following steps

Code: Select all

urpmi lib64qt5gui5
urpmi qtbase5-common-devel
urpmi lib64qt5gui5-devel
urpmi lib64qt5gui-devel
urpmi libqt5widgets-devel


This is to be followed by modifying .pro file with additional line:

Code: Select all

QT += widgets


I still can't figureout why this was required to be done manually, adding #include <QWidgets> does not work!

Thanks again,
