Where is QScriptable in Qt5.2.1

[TorAn]

I am porting an old project from qt4.7.3 to qt5.2.1 (windows). Compiler complains that it can't find any of the QtScript* includes

#include <QScriptable>
#include <QStringList>
#include <QScriptContext>
#include <QScriptEngine>
#include <QScriptValue>
#include <QScriptTools>

#include <QScriptable>
#include <QStringList>
#include <QScriptContext>
#include <QScriptEngine>
#include <QScriptValue>
#include <QScriptTools>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

quick review of the source tree under qtbase\include shows that under QtScript folder there is a single file, QtScriptDepends, and not QScript. Same with QtScriptTools folder.

What is going on? Where are script includes now? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hmm, how did you install Qt?

Built from sources? If so have you built and installed the qtscript module?

I have found that, on Windows with MSVC builds, many of the modules beyond the standard core are not built using the recommended configure / nmake steps. The unfortunate thing is because "nmake install" is totally broken, even after you build the extra modules manually getting them installed correctly is a real pain.

Note for those who keep their heads buried firmly in the Qt sandbox: Qt Creator / qmake / jom aren't the solution for a lot of us and it is sad that the Qt-Project folks won't accept that and put more effort into getting nmake builds fixed.

Thanks for the replies! No, I did not built it separately, never had to do it .
Do you know where I can find the instructions of how to build it on windows?

Thanks

Hmm. I thought you were building yourself since you wrote you had looked into a source folder (qtbase\include)

So you installed using one of the pre-built installers?

Have you checked in the install path?

Does your .pro file contain "script" in the QT line?

How is your problem related to this thread?

[TorAn]

Sorry, I asked question first and looked in the source tree second .

Then I compiled qtscript. No more issues with it, sorry. And thanks for the help and quick responses!

This problem with QtScript is following me around .

I had to rebuild Qt5.2.1 from sources. My Qt sources are installed in c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1 Next, I rebuilt qtScript (located in c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1\qtscript\qtscript.pro. And now my project that used to compile with qtscript includes is giving me compilation errors (can't find qtscript header files).

My question is:
The include paths in my project settings are $(QTDIR)\include\QtScript and $(QTDIR)\include\QtScriptTools, where $(QTDIR) is c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1\qtbase.
But the qtscript.pro builds all includes in c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1\qtscript\include. Changing include paths in my project to point to c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1\qtscript\include does not help, i.e compiler does not find other qscript-dependent header.

What are the right steps to build qtscript in Qt5.2.1 and which includes to use in the project?

[ChrisW67]

The Qt scripting support is shipped as a standard part of the official Qt5 binaries.
A default build from a source tar ball should have built the qtscript module.

Once you have a Qt5 with the scripting module then you enable it on your project file with:

QT += script

QT += script

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This is documented at the top of QT 5 class documentation pages such as QScriptable. No other manual INCLUDEPATH or LIBS settings are required.

Thank you. Since for this particular project I am using vs2013 I neglected to try to compile test project in QtCreator. Indeed, it compiles just fine. Looking into the list of includes in compile output I realized what the problem was. QtScript is included from four places, and when I added paths to VS that mimics the one in Qt everything worked.
c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1\qtscript\include
c:\Libraries\Qt\Qt5.2.1\qtscript\include\QtScript
$(QTDIR)\include\QtScript
