Qt_linuxbase ??

[Windsoarer]

Hello gurus,

Having just installed OpenSuse and then qtcreator, I can't compile anymore because the parameter QT_LINUXBASE is not defined by default.
It is possible to define it manually in the code, but then the code isn't cross-platform anymore

Does anybody have ideas ?

Thanks

Can we see the exact error?

The compilation error occurs in the header file qgl.h which is part of the Qt/Opengl libraries.

# ifndef QT_LINUXBASE
#   include <GL/glu.h>
# endif

# ifndef QT_LINUXBASE
#   include <GL/glu.h>
# endif

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

qgl.h is called indirectly from my code.

I can manage my code without the GL/glu.h header. Trouble is QT_LINUXBASE is unknown to the compiler, so an error message is issued at this point in the compilation.

Thanks for any insight

Ok, but what is the problem? The file shouldn't be included and so it won't. If you need to include glu, do it from your own code.

Sorry if I'm not clear. At this point in the code, I get the error :

/opt/qtsdk-2009.03/qt/include/QtOpenGL/qgl.h:77: error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory

because QT_LINUXBASE is not defined.

On the other hand, if I define the parameter in my code, then it isn't cross platform anymore.

So install GLU development files. Apparently your distro is not LSB compliant and Qt needs GLU for something.

[Windsoarer]

Good idea, I'll try that

Thanks

Thanks for the advice Wysota, there was indeed a missing development library named "mesa-libGLU"

Everything compiles fine now
