QMetaType::registerType: Binary compatibility break -- Size mismatch for type 'QPaint

[dalishi]

Dear all

I manage to compile my code with Qt 5 but when I run the program and encountered the following error:


QMetaType::registerType: Binary compatibility break -- Size mismatch for type 'QPaintBufferCacheEntry' [1024]. Previously registered size 0, now registering size 16.
Aborted (core dumped)


I have googled for a few days and did not find any luck. Anyone could help me with this? Thanks in advance. I am running Qt5 on ubuntu 14.04 64bit.

The source code is simple from sample code of the marble library (a globe map library):


#include <QtWidgets/QApplication>
#include <marble/MarbleWidget.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

// Load Marble using OpenStreetMap in Mercator projection
Marble::MarbleWidget *mapWidget = new Marble::MarbleWidget;
mapWidget->setProjection(Marble::Mercator);
mapWidget->setMapThemeId("earth/openstreetmap/openstreetmap.dgml");

mapWidget->setWindowTitle("Hello Marble!");
mapWidget->show();
return app.exec();
}

My cmake file to build is below:

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED (VERSION 2.8.11)
SET (TARGET hello-marble)
PROJECT (${TARGET})

# Find includes in corresponding build directories
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
# Instruct CMake to run moc automatically when needed.
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

# Find the Qt modules library
find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)

SET (QT_LIBRARIES ${QT_LIBRARIES} Qt5::Widgets)
SET (MARBLE_LIBRARIES ${MARBLE_LIBRARIES} marblewidget)
SET (LIBS ${LIBS} ${MARBLE_LIBRARIES} ${QT_LIBRARIES})

ADD_EXECUTABLE (${TARGET} marble_test.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (${TARGET} ${LIBS})

My gdb traceback of my code is:

Check the build output, maybe you are accidentally linking against an incompatible version of Marble, e.g. its Qt4 version.

Thanks anda

I compiled marble with Qt4 instead and it worked. Maybe the marble now does not support Qt5.

[anda_skoa]

I am pretty sure it can be built with both Qt versions.
Its CMakeList.txt file has sections for each version
