Problem Qt really needs a X server, can't use QCoreApplication...

[oscar]

Hi,

I get "cannot connect to X server :0.0" which is normal because I don't have a X server on my server.

But when I use QCoreApplication, it says that it needs a QApplication!
It's because I'm using QPainter to paint into a pdf file...
I'm stuck!

Any idea?

Thanks
Best regards,
Oscar

Most painting operations unfortunately need a QApplication object. I think only painting on QImage doesn't and only if you don't use text rendering (I'm not sure about the last one though). Try painting on QImage and see if that goes through.

I finally installed a little X Server just for my Qt application.
That's really abnormal but this is the only quick way I found.

I didn't tried drawing on a QImage, that would change to many of my code...

Thanks wysota for your quick reply
Best regards,

I'm sure making a quick test wouldn't have hurt...
