Custom Plugin problem to build

[brevleq]

Hi guys!!

I have to do some custom plugins to use with designer, but I'm having problems to build it!

This message is shown when I try to build:


hudson@brevleq:~/documentos/7º periodo/sistemas distribuidos/fontes/SpinViewPlugin$ make

Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2(customwidgetplugin, SpinViewPlugin)


The problem is happening in the last line of cpp file!

here is my *.pro file:

What should I do to build correctly this plugin??:confused:

[janus]

Hi,


Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2 ( PluginName, ClassName )
This macro exports the plugin class ClassName for the plugin specified by PluginName. The value of PluginName should correspond to the TARGET specified in the plugin's project file.
There should be exactly one occurrence of this macro in the source code for a Qt plugin, and it should be used where the implementation is written rather than in a header file.
Example:
Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2(pnp_extrafilters, ExtraFiltersPlugin)

Not sure, but it might help to rename the plugin name and to add a target to *pro with the same name.

The problem still happen:

hudson@brevleq:~/documentos/7º periodo/sistemas distribuidos/fontes/SpinView_plugin$

I've put this in my SpinView_plugin.pro:


TARGET = SpinView_plugin

and put this in my source:


Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2(SpinView_plugin, SpinViewPlugin)

I think QT isn't identifying his macro.

[janus]

Did you run qmake again and made a clean release build?

[brevleq]

I've did it!

I've changed pro file again, based in QT's example:

# install

INSTALLS += target sources

but the problem still happen!

[janus]

hm, ... is this missing #include <QtPlugin> ?

[brevleq]

I don't think the problem is with this class!
But here is the class source:


#ifndef SPINVIEW_H
#define SPINVIEW_H

#include <QSpinBox>
#include "View.h"

class SpinView : public QSpinBox, public View {
Q_OBJECT

public:
SpinView(QObject *parent=0);
void update(Event e);
};

#endif


#include "SpinView.h"

SpinView::SpinView(QObject *parent){
}

void SpinView::update(Event e){
this->setValue(model->getValue());
}


How can you see, this plugin depends of others source files.

If you prefer I can send to your e-mail the sources!
Just give me your e-mail.

[janus]

What about the qtplugin include?

[brevleq]

:D Nice!!

I forgot it!
Now it's showing another problem!! :p

But this problem is with my source!!
Thanks

If I have another problem I'll ask you again!!

[brevleq]

Finally I build it...


BUT

When I open designer my plugin isn't shown!!


I installed the plugin in $QTDIR/plugin/designer/

I did something wrong??:crying:

[janus]

Hi, you can take a lock in the disigner menu if the plugin was loaded with an error. I had the same problem because i installed the debug version instead ofthe release version.
