Building QtGstreamer AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND

[Matthias Dodt]

Hey guys!

I can't really build QtGstreamer on Windows. I followed the wiki
instructions, but i get a bunch of errors. The main problem is that
automoc4 cannot be found - but i got it in my %PATH%!

Another weired thing is that if i just run "automoc4" from the same
command line it just crashes (i don't know if this application is
supposed to run without arguments though-).

The cmake command was:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="d:/SDKs/qt-gstreamer/install"
-DBOOST_ROOT="d:/SDKs/boost_1_48_0"
-DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="d:/entwicklung/ossbuild/Shared/MSVC/Include"
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="d:/entwicklung/ossbuild/Build/Windows/Win32/Release
;d:/entwicklung/ossbuild/Shared/Build/Windows/Win32;d:/entwicklung/tools
/automoc" ..

Automoc is located in d:/entwicklung/tools/automoc/install/bin, which is
within %PATH%-

Cmake --build .

Gives this output:
>>>>>

...

Which means AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND couldn't be found. If i look at
the created project files they contain

AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND instead of automoc4 i guess...

Thanks!

Hi,

cmake looks for a certain file called Automoc4Config.cmake, not for
the executable directly.
On my linux system this is in /usr/lib/automoc4/Automoc4Config.cmake,
with automoc4 being in /usr/bin. I guess that all you need to do is to
put "d:/entwicklung/tools/automoc/install/" in your CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
in the command line above, instead of just
"d:/entwicklung/tools/automoc", and assuming that Automoc4Config.cmake
is in d:/entwicklung/tools/automoc/install/lib/automoc4/, it should
find it.

Regards,
George

Hi George!

Thanks for your reply! I took me a while to figure out what the problem with automoc was: If I compile it with VS2008 Express automoc always crashes at startup. With 2005 Professional it works fine- no clue why yet-

So now it start's compiling but stops with the following errors caused by qt-gstreamer-0.10.1\src\qglib\type.h and it states that libxml cannot be found (which is weired because I passed the path to cmake). Output:

...
9>d:\Entwicklung\ossbuild\Build\Windows\Win32\Release\include\gstreamer-0.10\gst/gstconfig

directory

7>        d:\SDKs\boost_1_48_0\boost/mpl/if.hpp(35) : see declaration of 'boost::mpl::if_c

...

The cmake command was:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="d:/SDKs/qt-gstreamer/install" -DBOOST_ROOT="d:/SDKs/boost_1_48_0"  -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="D:/Entwicklung/ossbuild/Shared/Build/Linux/x86/include/libxml2;d:/entwicklung/ossbuild/Shared/MSVC/Include" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="d:/entwicklung/ossbuild/Build/Windows/Win32/Release;d:/entwicklung/ossbuild/Shared/Build/Windows/Win32;d:/entwicklung/tools/automoc/install" ..

-libxml2 is in the path. What are these type.h errors?

Thanks a lot!

Mat

Hi George!

Sorry I missed another thing. Running cmake as described in my last
email outputs another error. Basically the script states it can't find
the packages but summarizes that everything is there?

Hi George!

Yeehaww! I managed to compile it;-).

- The libxml include error is an gstreamer/ossbuild error as described
in an older mail:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/gstreamer-devel/2011-December/0343
36.html

Basically it is sufficient to remove this #include from gstconfig.h.

- I used boost 1.48 which is incompatible with Qt <= 4.8.0 due to a MOC
issue:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/71518
Qt bugreport:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22829


Still if i run cmake i get the output the find_package failed like
described in my last mail - but it compiles fine ;-)

I think it would be nice to have just 2 hint's for this specific
versions of ossbuild and boost on the wiki page. I know that it's not
related to your project but it would prevent people from running into
this time consuming compilation issues.

Thanks!

Cheers,

mat

This is a bug in ossbuild. The bundled version of gstconfig.h is
outdated. There have been previous discussions about this in this
mailing list as well. Please grab gstconfig.h from gstreamer git and
merge it appropriately.

Hmm, this is a little worrying... Which version of Qt are you using?

These "errors" are merely the output of the pkg-config checks that
cmake does at this point. They just state that the relevant libraries
were not found using pkg-config. However, the cmake scripts are clever
enough to fall back to other means of detecting those libraries, which
succeed. So, don't worry about them, they are harmless.
