How to load PSQL Driver for QT in Ubuntu

[Srinivas_30sep]

Hi ,

Please help me in loading the psql driver for QT in my Ubuntu 8.04.1 system.
Here Postgres 8.3.5 is also installed.


I had installed the QT using following commands

configure -static -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools -qt-sql-psql

( As it is static , i guess no plugin option is needed )

make
sudo make install

Installation is done.

libqsqlpsql.a is created at the path /usr/local/Troll tech/Qt-4.5.1/plugins/sqldrivers

I had added the path to LIBS in makefile
i.e LIBS = -L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.1/plugins/sqldrivers

I had written the following code
#include<QtSql/QtSql>
#include <QtSql/QSqlDatabase>

qDebug() << "Sql Driver" << QSqlDatabase::drivers();
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setDatabaseName("template1");
db.setUserName("postgres");
qDebug() << db.lastError();


After execution , i am getting the below error.


Sql Driver ()
QSqlDatabase: QPSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
QSqlError(-1, "Driver not loaded", "Driver not loaded")


It means Still Driver is not loaded.

Please mention what is missing or wrong here..

EAGERLY AWAITING THE RESPONSE.

From Qt docs "If you build the static version of Qt, static plugins is the only option for including Qt's predefined plugins." see the details in
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/plugins-...static-plugins

Hi Rhayader,

Thanks for suggesting the doc . As per the doc i included the following lines in the source file
#include <QtSql/QSqlDriverPlugin>
#include<QtCore/QtPlugin>
#define QT_STATICPLUGIN 1
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qsqlpsql)

I am not using QMAKe and .pro file , instead i am using make file .
So i added
LIBS += -L/$QTDIR/plugins/sqldrivers/ -lqsqlpsql
I had also added
QT += sql
QTPLUGIN += qsqlpsql

in the Makefile.

Then when i compile i am getting below error
/opt/DEVROOT//obj/home/srinivasareddy.b/SqlWorks/DBForm/main.o: In function `StaticqsqlpsqlPluginInstance':
/home/srinivasareddy.b/SqlWorks/DBForm/myDBForm.h:9: undefined reference to `qt_plugin_instance_qsqlpsql()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/opt/DEVROOT//bin/prd] Error 1

Please suggest , if anymore changes are needed.
I hope u moved me near to the solution .

AWAITING YOUR RESPONSE.
