Notes and comments from ORM Designer development
Sometimes happened that two DLL libraries wants to be loaded in same address. These DLL libraries can be found in “Modules” window with small red exclamation mark. When you need to change this address, you have to update your linker settings adding the /BASE: parameter.
link.exe <other_praams> /BASE:0x11000000
git status #show all files git statis -u -s #show untracked in short listing
git commit -m"text"
git add *.mask -A
find -iname '*mask' | xargs rm
git config --global core.excludesfile /file-path/.gitignore-global

Latest TENG source code: http://teng.cvs.sourceforge.net/teng/ (Note: Source code referenced from main site isn’t latest! )
Compilation under Windows is possible only using MinGW and with few modifications in TENG code (because there is few glitch which didn’t meet c++ standards). If you want more information or updated TENG version, please let me know.
Today I found out that Windows version of Git doesn’t support Unicode character in file names. After some time spent by searching on google, I found updated version of msysgit with Unicode support. This version is available here: http://tmurakam.org/git/. Thank you Takuya Murakami!
Lots of open source libraries (like libiconv, libintl, …) doesn’t have MSVC project files or makefiles. Only supported way how to compile given library under Window is using MinGW and MSYS compiler tools.
Here is step-by-step guide how to download, install and compile libraries using MinGW.
From MinGW home web site http://www.mingw.org/ download “Automated MinGW Installer”. Current version could be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files_beta/Automated MinGW Installer
Run downloaded executable. As install directory leave C:\MinGW. It’s recommended not to change this path. On component screen select C compiler, C++compiler, MSYS Basic System and MinGW Developer Toolkit.
After that select next,next,next, finish ;-). After that installer downloads all necessary files. This could take a few minutes.
When installation is done, as next step is necessary to setup PATH variable to c:\MinGW. Installer doesn’t modify it automatically. (more info about modifying PATH variable) .
These two packages isn’t listed in available components. If you wish to install it, use mingw-get-inst. In c:\MinGW\bin directory run following commands:
mingw-get install gcc g++ mingw32-make msys-base
Launch cmd tool, go to directory with source code and use g++.
g++ test.cpp
Laung MinGW from startmenu or msys.bat from %INSTALL_PATH%\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat.
As first, download latest libiconv source files from http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv. And extract whole package somewhere on your disk.
Launch MinGW console and go to the extracted directory. When you extracted directory to the path:
p:\DependentLibrariesWhole\libiconv-1.13.1
Type following command to MinGW console:
cd /p/DependentLibrariesWhole/libiconv-1.13.1
after that, run configure with required library params (in our case we want static and dynamic version of library):
configure --enable-static --enable-shared
and than run make
make
Compiled libraries are located in directory “libiconv-1.13.1\lib\.libs”. There is additional information about building libiconv library on stackoverflow.
This list is compilation of answer to questions and informations how to solve some problems which I had during my installations.
Use “configure –help” command.
When you want to use different configurations for different platforms in your .pro file, it’s necessary to correctly setup three variables: QMAKESPEC, QTDIR and PATH.
Here is how to configure for different platforms:
In SystemPropertes -> Enviroment variables add/update following values:
QTDIR = P:\QT\4.7.0 PATH = %QTDIR%\bin QMAKESPEC=%QTDIR%\mkspecs\win32-msvc2005 LANG = en_US
QMAKESPEC=/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++ PATH=$PATH:/local/qmake/bin export QMAKESPEC PATH</pre>
setenv QMAKESPEC /usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++ setenv PATH $PATH:/local/qmake/bin</pre>
You can optionally use LANG variable to setup QtCreator language.

Command line for generating Visual studio project file from Qt .pro file.
qmake -tp vc test.pro
When some of moc file isn’t properly generated and getting following error:
c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '.\debug\moc_xxx.cpp': No such file or directory
try following:
Select corresponding .h file (for moc_xxx.cpp select xxx.h) in a project tree and select Compile from context menu. If the file is marked as “up-to-date“, try to change something in this file and repeat a compilation. If in the output window will be “up-to-date” again, you found a problem.
Use context menu on the corresponding .h file, select properties and edit “Configuration properties |Custom build steps|General|Outputs” to any value (add some char to the end of value), confirm change by Ok button and then return value back to original (remove added char). After that, compilation on correspond file will be successfully performed.
This is list of all known issues and problems which we had to solve during our first Qt installation on Linux, Windows and Mac.
What to do when compilation of QT crash with message “Error: undefined interface”.

http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/26245-Qt-4.6-api/qscriptextensionplugin.h(43)-Error-Undefined-interface
it’s necessary to instal g++ support (sudo apt-get install g+)
it’s necessary to instal xlib(xorg??) support (sudo apt-get install xorg-dev)
Probably mishmash on 32bit / 64bit system and QT versions.
Probably missing libglib2.0-dev on your system. (sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev).
Missing OpenSSL library on your system. (sudo apt-get install libssl-dev)
Missing gtk package. (sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev ). After that its necessary to update db (sudo updatedb).
if system can’t find file gtk/gtk.h because gtk is stored in gtk-2.0 directory, add -I (capitalised i) param to configure with gtk path:
./configure -opensource -I /usr/include/gtk-2.0
install libcups2. (sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev)
install gstreamer 0.10. (sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev)
it’s because this file isn’t in /usr/include/glib-2.0, but in /usr/lib/glib-2.0. So you have to include also this /usr/lib path or copy file to include/glib-2.0
create symbolic link using ln -nsf /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk /usr/include/gtk
List of libraries required by Qt:
And other which are required by some modules of Qt:
To install all required on Linux, use following commands
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxcups/cups.h: No such file or directory ft-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev sudo apt-get install bison flex libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libphonon-dev libicu-dev libsqlite3-dev libxext-dev libxrender-dev gperf libfontconfig1-dev libphonon-dev
Sometimes it’s necessary to reconfigure Qt using make confclean
Use find /path -iname xxx.h command
use apt-file application with following syntax:
apt-file search gdk/gdk.h
List of links about installation:
Building Qt on Linux
This is currently my latest configure command to compile Qt on my Ubuntu 10.10.
This is necessary when search path for following libraries isn’t entered to configure.
sudo ln -nsf /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst /usr/include/gst
Figure out how works pkg-config (pkg-config –cflags gstreamer-0.10)
This is our company step-by-step guide to install and configure Qt on our developer machines.
Link to Qt download site: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
Download VS 2008 distribution from download site. When 2008 distribution is downloaded, it’s necessary to reconfigure and rebuild it for VS 2005 using next steps.
Download linux/x11 distro from Qt page. Download 32/64bit distro package. Setup downloaded files as executables:
chmod +x qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.01.bin chmod +x qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-1.0.0.bin
Install Qt sdk to default directory and begin with configuration.
Download latest Qt SDK distribution and latest XCode developer pack from apple site. Then install both.
Qt configuration is done via Configure script/executable on all platforms.
Run “Start menu->Visual studio->Tools-> Visual studio command prompt”
Then go to “c:\Qt\Qt_Version\Qt” and run “configure” with additional params.
Our current configuration:
configure -debug-and-release -opensource -shared -platform win32-msvc2005 -incredibuild-xge -openssl
run nmake confclean and nmake distclean to remove all previous version of QT compilations.
For SSL Support add -openssl switch to configure.
: configure param HAVE TO be executed from Visual studio command prompt!
Enter Qt directory and enter following configure param:
./configure -opensource -I /usr/include/gtk-2.0 -L /usr/lib/gt-2.0 -I /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10 -L /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 -I /usr/include/glib-2.0 -L /usr/lib/glib-2.0 -I /usr/include/libxml2 -fast
run make confclean and then configure.
Compile Qt using command prompt:
Second option is open projects.sln located in p:/Qt/4.7.1/ using Visual Studio IDE and compile it.
Currently not tested, using default compilation.
When we have prepared Qt library, it’s time to compile our application.
When using qmake without additional params, qmake generate xcode project from .pro instad makefile for g++. To generate makefile, use following params:
qmake -spec macx-g++ make
Not testes.
