phonon4qtmingw.zip - a magical package!

[FS Lover]

http://rapidshare.com/files/257997882/phonon4qtmingw.zip.html

this package which is just about 6 megabytes (compare it with downloading MS DX SDK that is about 500MB), adds phonon support to your mingw qt, very easily.

you must have installed mingw qt sdk completely on your MS Windows.
sdk's mingw installation must not be canceled.

then double click on the install.cmd file inside the package.
and follow the instructions.
it is fully automatic.
test it and tell me about your results and opinion.
specially tell me about you phonon video support.

thank all others for their helps; including Qt Software guys.

[FS Lover]

I recommend you to test it using a fresh installation of Qt SDK.
qt command prompt should be in %qtdir% (it's the default when opening qt command prompt).

[FS Lover]

some of my friends tested the package on other machines recently.
they told me that it works great and no video problem exists.
so I think this package is the easiest way for adding phonon support to mingw qt ever.

but we are waiting to see default phonon support precompiled in the mingw version of qt in the near future.

Maybe you could add the file as forum attachment here?

I think attachments' size limit doesn't let me.
I will try to find a more permanent upload area.

[FS Lover]

apparently, free Rapidshare uploads have a limit of 10 times of downloads.
this is the download link of another temporary upload until I will find a better place:
http://www.4shared.com/file/120723456/67d686b4/phonon4qtmingw.html
and this is in a Collector's Account that I think does not have the 10 times limit:

this is another download link (my friend uploaded it on his own site):

I tried your package but the problem is still there..

C:\Qt\2009.03\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\. .\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lphonond4

i'm under vista, with the last QT open source edition.

[FS Lover]

what steps did you take to accomplish it?

[pucheto]

I just have realized that it only builds under mingw32-make release...
sorry for bothering, my mistake...

[FS Lover]

you can modify the configure command line in the source (edit commands.txt) for adding debug mode if you want (I think removing -release solves it all). don't forget running install.cmd again.

by default it builds in release mode just for speed.

[heminm]

I have the latest version of Microsoft DirectX and Microsoft SDK installed..I use Qt 4.5.2..When the configuration of your package is over, I am still not being able to use phonon
It gives error

the steps I followed are:
Install Qt 4.5.2
run phonon4qt

Is there antything that i am missing?

[FS Lover]

I use Qt 4.5.2
have you a complete SDK installed?


When the configuration of your package is over, I am still not being able to use phonon
It gives error
what is the error message?
what command lines did you use for building your app?


the steps I followed are:
Install Qt 4.5.2
run phonon4qt
did you run install.cmd before phonon4qt by clicking it? (don't call the install.cmd from the command line)
then you must open a fresh Qt command prompt and run the phonon4qt there.
then answer the two questions with y or n.
then, after pressing any key to continue, wait (possibly several hours) to complete the build process.
I recommend you to redirect the build tools' messages to the log file (by replying y to the related question).
save any error messages you see on the command line, and give them and the log file.

[heminm]

hey I got it installed by some other way..anyway, thanks for the help!

Hello FS Lover,

I.am trying to get this patch get working on my machine.
The problem is that i can only use Debug Mode because Release Mode give my a error( lphonond is missing ).
In your early post you describe to change the commnds.txt the command line into the Debug Mode.
Can you tell me wich command line in commands.txt.

Thanks in advance.

[FS Lover]

The problem is that i can only use Debug Mode because Release Mode give my a error( lphonond is missing ).
phonond is the debug version of the phonon lib that your compiler requested it.
so it seems that your compilation was not in release mode (only).
what command lines did you use for building?

[dragon]

Hello,

I figured it out i have change the 2 lines in commands.txt with -release configuration into -debug .
It compiles and works perfect voor my phonon examples and demos.

Thanks.

Hey i have tried this but i get the following error message


================================================== ==================

step 2: setting Microsoft DirectX SDK 2008 paths...

Dx x64 target enviroment is now enabled.
The system cannot find the batch label specified - Host

F:\Qt\2009.03\mingw\include>

Only thing i changed was the -release command to -debug-and-release

<edit>
I have added the Host label to the phonon4qt.cmd to make it look like this:


:x86_Target
Set Lib=%DXSDK_DIR%Lib\x86;%Lib%
Set Include=%DXSDK_DIR%Include;%Include%
echo Dx x86 target enviroment is now enabled.

:Host
rem -----------------------
echo.
echo lib=%lib%
echo include=%include%

Running it now will let you now if it worked.

<Edit2>

That didn't work i get the following error when configuring qt:

And for some information i am using QtCreator 1.2 with Qt 4.5.2 on a windows 7 64 bit pc.

[eekhoorn12]

A friend of me also tried to install phonon support on qt. He used a fresh install of the Qt toolkit including mingw, he also runs 64 bit windows 7 and he gets the following error:

<Edit>
I have added his entire log file

[FS Lover]

this is a special case I can't test and don't know the cause.
I have not a 64 bit machine neither have the windows 7.
but I think it's worth some further testings.
for example, try adding the `Goto x86_Target' command after the `:x64_Target' label line in the commands.txt file for testing build with 32 bit libs on your 64 bit machine.
Don't forget to run the install.cmd again after modifying the commands.txt.

I have no many more ideas.
I think you can build Qt on a 32 bit machine with windows xp or vista and use it on your 64 bit windows 7 environment too.

and I think you can contact qt software sending your error message too.
probably they will give you some useful information (if so, please don't forget to post them here too).

Hi FS_Lover
thanks for the files.

Windows XP, with Qt4.5.2 and mingw installed using the QTcreator package
gcc version 3.4.2 (mingw-special)

I tried to run it
clicked first on "instal.cmd"

then open the prompt for QT4.5.2

it is asking for some lib files

|? include/ddraw.h
|? include/dmo.h
|? include/dmodshow.h
|? include/medparam.h
|? include/qnetwork.h
|Index: include/amvideo.h

see details below

any idea why ??
thanks again
SunnySan



Setting up a MinGW/Qt only environment...

-- PATH set to C:\Qt\4.5.2\bin
-- Adding C:\MinGW\bin to PATH
-- Adding C:\WINDOWS\System32 to PATH
-- QMAKESPEC set to win32-g++

C:\Qt\4.5.2>phonon4qt

this will build qt (mingw version) with phonon support
overal operation typically takes hours (e.g. 5 hours on a 800MHz CPU)
do you want to automatically shutdown your system after completion of the build
proccess?
(y/n): y

Press any key to continue . . .

do you want all messages printed by the build tools
to be redirected to the log file instead of displaying on the console?
(y/n): y

phonon4qt's log file's address is: "C:\Qt\4.5.2\phonon4qt.log"

Press any key to continue . . .

getting user options is done
now the rest of operations for building qt are automatic (no user intervention)
configure and mingw32-make commands will be run consecutively
with command line options needed for building qt's phonon with mingw
note that this program doesn't try to manage or
even recognize any errors in the build process
but if you have the prerequisites there should be no problems
please report the result of your build to me if you can
email me at: hamidreza_mz -=at=- yahoo -=dot=- com
building takes a long time
you can leave your machine alone if you want, after pressing one more any key!

press any key to begin the rest of operations that are fully automatic...
The system cannot find the path specified.

[FS Lover]

please see where is the mingw directory.
there should be a directory named `mingw' (or something similar) somewhere in your qt installation directory.

[FS Lover]

a new version of phonon4qtmingw is made available.
i corrected a bug (encountered in 64bit environment) and added the "debug-and-release" mode to it.
now it asks from you whether you want to build in release mode only or debug versions be built too.
note that building in release mode only, is considerably faster (in my test, about 50% faster), so i added the option, and it may be useful for some tests and problems too.
package is even smaller now (3 MB) because i removed the 64 bit dx sdk libs (apparently qt doesn't support 64 bit build for windows)

here is the download link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/146674858/b2a00a06/phonon4qtmingw--2.html

[FS Lover]

a new version of phonon4qtmingw is available now.
its speed is enhanced very much because now only those parts related to generating phonon backend and lib are built.
it is somewhat experimental since I used a non-standard and empirical method to further speed up the overall build process (I replaced the configure step), but I tested it with qt-sdk-win-opensource-2009.04 on two machines running windows xp sp2 and 3 and saw no problems.
download and test it and tell about your results.
it adds phonon to your open source Qt SDK in 15 minutes on a 800MHz CPU!!
configure step took 40 minutes on that system, so I thought to replace it with another method that does not need configuring of the entire Qt.

[bmn]

Will it work with the newly released qt 4.6.0?

[FS Lover]

apparently Qt SDK 2009.05 (with Qt 4.6) is already phonon ready.
it seems that there is no need to the magical package any more.

[Rajeshsan]

Hi to all.. I downloaded phononmingw-zip and zipped it and into the folder i clicked in install.cmd, It asked for click on for phononqt.cmd i clicked on it. it asked for process i copied mingw folder and pasted in this phonon4Qt folder.
It asked for Shut down operation etc, where should be msg's should be stored it was in /phononlog.txt.. I tried to found it out where it is stored i didnt get it.Plz assist me i tried an example given in phonon_test program. it gave error while compiling . the error i have posted here,,,,

[FS Lover]

get the latest Qt. it has phonon support. you don't need to the magical package anymore.
