Problems while trying to get started using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt on Qt SDK 5.1.0

GuenterMeier — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 09:19:52 GMT

HI everybody,

on a Win 7 Prof. machine (64 bit) with .NET Framework 4.5 (Version 4.5.50709) I have installed all the components as described here:
https://developers.arcgis.com/en/qt/guide/how-to-build-on-windows.htm
With Visual Studio Professional 2012 Update 3 installed, the compiler I use is MS Visual C++Compiler 11.0 (amd64).
I can run example applications without problems. Trying to create a new project using ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2, I get the following error messages:

mainwindow.h:4: Error:C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht ge�?�ffnet werden: "QtGui/QMainWindow": No such file or directory

Could a broken path be the problem?

A missing "include"?

Should I install all the components again, from the beginning (I did not stick to the recommended order for installing ...)?

Any other bet? Helpful ideas are very welcome!

Regards,
Günter

Hi Günter,

Thank you very much for your interest for and your feedbacks the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt. The beta release of the SDK is built against 4.8.4 on Windows and 4.7.4 on linux. To my knowledge, it is not forward compatible with Qt 5.1.
Therefore in order to use the beta release, you will have to either compile 4.8.4 using Visual Studio 2012 on Windows or download the version that we provided on the Beta community site: http://beta.esri.com/community/. You can follow the steps from this link: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/qt/guide/how-to-build-on-windows.htm to integrate 4.8.4 in to QtCreator. For Linux, you can download the 4.7.4 or 4.8.x from the Qt project site.
Let me know if you have any issues or concerns.

Regards,

Thanks for answering, Jen!

I will change the Qt version in my setting and soon let you know how things work out.

Bye,
Günter

Hello Jen,

I can follow the discription here : https://developers.arcgis.com/en/qt/guide/how-to-build-on-windows.htm

until number 6. "Build the Qt SDK using nmake". Here I start having problems due to my lack of knowledge concerning the use of nmake. The configuration seems to work, but not so my trial to build the Qt SDK. I will try to understand how to better use nmake in order to make it work.

Apart from these compiling problems (I just need to study the help ...) I actually wanted to download the Qt SDK as a package of binary files which I then will be able to use as they are. My problem: I can't find that package. Any hint for that?

The resources for download: "ArcGIS Runtime SDK Qt 10.2 Beta1 Windows"
here: https://betacommunity.esri.com/project/version/item.html?cap=A3FD628514DD43FCACD89BA929AE66A8&arttypeid={986D26A3-3E6F-4B56-841C-369D10E4A166}&artid={E1162F62-A88F-4096-B670-A1D580420CA5}

only offer the package to unzip and compile. The binary files were mentioned, but I can't find them.

Thanks for your help,
Günter

Hi Günter,

You can download a compiled version of Qt 4.8.4 for Windows from the Beta community site: https://betacommunity.esri.com.
You just need to log in then go to the Qt Beta Program links. At the bottom of the page, you will see the link to the resources and you will need to click on "ArcGIS Runtime SDK Qt 10.2 Beta1 Windows". From that page, you will be able to download "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4-32.zip".

The instruction to add the kit into Qt Creator can be found here: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/qt/guide/how-to-build-on-windows.htm.
Let me know if you have any question or concern.

Regards,

Hi Jen, thank you for your message.

I would like to use that compiled version (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4-32) here:
https://betacommunity.esri.com/project/version/item.html?cap=A3FD628514DD43FCACD89BA929AE66A8&arttypeid={986D26A3-3E6F-4B56-841C-369D10E4A166}&artid={E1162F62-A88F-4096-B670-A1D580420CA5}
, but this one seems to be good for 32bit System. Can I have the same compiled Qt 4.8.4 for a (Win 7 Prof.) 64bit System?

Kind regards,
Günter

Hi Günter,

I have uploaded the 64 bit version of the Qt SDK. You should be able to download a compiled version of Qt 4.8.4 for Windows from the Beta community site: https://betacommunity.esri.com.

You just need to log in then go to the Qt Beta Program links. At the bottom of the page, you will see the link to the resources and you will need to click on "ArcGIS Runtime SDK Qt 10.2 Beta1 Windows". From that page, you will be able to download "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4-64.zip".

Hi Jen,

thank you for uploading the 64 bit version of the Qt SDK. It seems to be exactly what I needed. I' ll go for a cup of coffee to celebrate - right after starting the download!

cheers,
Günter

Hi Jen,

my System is still struggling to come alive. At the moment it can't find the EsriRuntimeQt.dll, it seems.

I have two questions concerning this problem. In the explanation at this site:
https://developers.arcgis.com/en/qt/guide/displaying-a-map.htm

..... there are two points that I would like to have a more detailed description of:

1) "(If you haven't already, install and set up ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt, ...) ...which includes adding the references to the needed libraries."
and
2) "In the Project References notice that the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client and ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Local libraries are present."

My questions:

1) Isn't that already taken care of with this (in the .pro - file):

win32:{
LIBS += \
-L"$$(ARCGISRUNTIMESDKQT_10_2)"/ArcGISRuntime10.2/Client64
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
    LIBS += \
            -lEsriRuntimeQtd
} else {
    LIBS += \
            -lEsriRuntimeQt
}

2) Where exactly are these:
ESRI.ArcGIS.Client and ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Local to find?
Do I need to add these libraries in this way (in the .pro-file):
LIBS += (path) ESRI.ArcGIS.Client    ?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Günter

Hi Günter,

1)"(If you haven't already, install and set up ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt, ...) ...which includes adding the references to the needed libraries."
Anwser: EsriRuntimeQt is part of the dependencies needed. Since this is a Qt SDK, you might need to include other Qt dlls for your application to work.

2) "In the Project References notice that the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client and ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Local libraries are present."
Anwser: The following is a typo in our doc and it will be removed. Sorry for the confusion that it might have caused you.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

HI Jen,

could I get more detailed information about how to "... include other Qt dlls for (my) application to work"? (1)

I can make my Executable run (for a short moment) by now, but then it falls apart leaving me behind with a message in the dump-file (@...user\AppData\Local\Temp): The thread has tried to read or write at a location (virtual address) without having the appropriate rights to do so. ..... I tried to unblock as many folders as I could possibly find. Did I forget one? (2)

These questions must be getting difficult for you to answer. Again: Thank you for your support!

Best Regards,
Günter

Hi Günter,

As an example, you can look at the sample application that we included with the sdk.
We have included the following dlls from Qt:
QtCore4.dll
QtGui4.dll
QtNetwork4.dll
QtOpenGL4.dll
QtXml4.dll

If you are trying to deploy, you will have to embed a license string. Are you using the provided template to write your application? Can you give me more information of what kind of functionalities you are trying to write so I can better direct you?

Regards,

GuenterMeier — Tue, 15 Oct 2013 09:34:51 GMT

Hi Jen,

thanks for your offer, I really appreciate that.

1) Sample application
I can open "QtSampleApplication.exe", (located here on my virtual machine: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS SDKs\Qt10.2\sdk\samples\samplecode\bin"), see the different examples and even surf around in the table of content, but as soon as I try to open one of the examples, the application falls apart with a message saying "QtSampleApplication.exe does not work anymore".

2) Drive "F:\" -setting in Qt Creator / Options / Build & Run / Qt Versions / Details. Please see further details in the attachment (pdf-file).

3) In Qt Creator 2.8.1 Manual, at �??Getting Help / Known Issues�?� I found the following:

Paths or file names containing spaces or special characters (such as colons, dollar signs, and hash marks) may cause problems. This is because some of the tools Qt Creator uses in the background have restrictions on the characters allowed in file and directory names. To be on the safe side, we recommend creating projects and project items with names consisting of plain characters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.
My question: Does that mean, that paths containing a colon or a dollar sign won't work in the actual project?
Examples:
a.) (a colon) �?� LIBS += "C:/Qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4-64/lib/qtmaind.lib"
b.) (a dollar sign) �?� INCLUDEPATH += "$$(ARCGISRUNTIMESDKQT_10_2)"/sdk/include

4) Our "final" goal is to develop an application that allows us to map different objects (trees, creeks, small areas etc.) in the field (resp. in the forest). That still seems to be far away though. At the moment I would be glad to get the sample data running for a start.

Thank you for your support!
Regards,
Günter

Hi Gunther,

To fix the path issue that you are encountering, you will need to change or add a qt.conf file in the bin folder of the Qt sdk.
You will need to follow step: 7-8 of https://developers.arcgis.com/en/qt/guide/how-to-build-on-windows.htm.
Your qt.conf file should look like this:
[Paths]
Prefix=C:/Qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4-32

Make sure that you are using "/" instead of "\".

The "$$" sign is used in front of the environment variable: ARCGISRUNTIMESDKQT_10_2 so it should not be an issue.

We do not support fully virtual machine. It will not work if you do not have graphic drivers on the virtual machine.

Let me know if this answer your questions.

Re: Problems while trying to get started using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt on Qt SDK 5.

JeanneTrieu — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 19:20:29 GMT

Hi,

You should be using Qt SDK 5.1 or up VS 2012 with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt 10.2. Qt SDK.
