Windows project error unknown module s in qt script

This topic has been deleted. Only users with topic management privileges can see it.

• I have build Qt from source and now I am trying to build Qt Creator from source and get the following error: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script. I found a similar thread that suggested building qtscript libraty by running make module-qtscript manually. I did that from the Qt source folder and the build for the script library finished without any errors. However, I still get the same error when I try to prepare Qt Creator for build:

  $ qmake -r ../qt-creator/qtcreator.pro
  Reading /home/aras/Projects/qt-creator/src/src.pro [/home/aras/Projects/qt-creator-build/src]
   Reading /home/aras/Projects/qt-creator/src/shared/qbs/src/lib/corelib/corelib.pro [/home/aras/Projects/qt-creator-build/src/shared/qbs/src/lib/corelib]
  Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script
  

  Locating libQt5Script.so finds it in my Qt source directory but not installed anywhere else on the system:

  $ locate libQt5Script.so
  /home/aras/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtbase/lib/libQt5Script.so
  /home/aras/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtbase/lib/libQt5Script.so.5
  /home/aras/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtbase/lib/libQt5Script.so.5.7
  /home/aras/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtbase/lib/libQt5Script.so.5.7.0
  

  Here is my Qt version:

  $ qmake -v
  QMake version 3.0
  Using Qt version 5.7.0 in /usr/local/Qt-5.7.0/lib
  

  I am following this guide. What else do I need to do to get past this error and build Qt Creator?

• Hi,

  Did you call make install after you built the QtScript module ?

• @SGaist yes I ran sudo make install module-qtscript
  I also just tried doing a fresh build of qt from source using external build directory. I still get the same error

• Ok, then, did you re-run qmake after you installed qtscript ?

• @SGaist let me back track a bit. The first time I tried this I ran sudo make install module-qscript and once that was over I went back to my qt creator build directory and tried configuring the project again and I got this error:

  :~/Projects/qt-creator-build$ qmake -r ../qt-creator/qtcreator.pro
  Reading /home/aras/Projects/qt-creator/src/src.pro [/home/aras/Projects/qt-creator-build/src]
   Reading /home/aras/Projects/qt-creator/src/shared/qbs/src/lib/corelib/corelib.pro [/home/aras/Projects/qt-creator-build/src/shared/qbs/src/lib/corelib]
  Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script
  

  Now I removed my old qt source folder and downloaded a new one and built it from scratch again. Then I build the qscript module without error. However, just now I tried installing it using sudo make install module-qtscript and after some time I got this new error:

  /home/aras/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtwayland/src/shared/qwaylandinputmethodeventbuilder.cpp

  The build is really not cooperating with me. Do you have any suggestions?

• Did you do a complete build before qtscript ?

  On a side note, if you want to avoid having to uncompress the sources each time. Just do an out of source build.

• @SGaist yes as far as I know, I did a complete build. In my last build after I deleted the initial source folder, I did an out of source build as someone else had also recommended that to me.

  I still am not able to install the qtscript module. What do you think I might be missing?

• Check the size of the library files created and try to build a dummy project using the QtScript module.

• @SGaist here is a list of library files in my build folder (since they are not installed yet):

  Can you explain more how I make a dummy project to test the lib? Remember I am trying to build Qt Creator, so I don’t have it yet. Should I just make a simple C++ file and try to build it in command line with qcc? Or do I need to configure it with qmake?

• You can either use your distribution provided Qt Creator or the one from the installer.

  Or just build one of QtScript examples.

• @SGaist I rather not install the distro provided qt. I did that on another machine and it gets pretty confusing with multiple versions of Qt installed in parallel. I see if I can find a QtScript example, is there one that you know?

  Edit: I found a bunch of script example projects in ~/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtscript/examples/script. The readme refers to docs, so I do not know how to build them yet, but will try to find out. But I tried just running qmake in one of the example folders and I get this error:

  .../examples/script/calculator$ qmake
  Info: creating stash file /home/aras/Projects/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0/qtscript/.qmake.stash
  Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script uitools
  

• Did you call make install after you built the module ?

• I don’t think I ran make install because qmake gave me that error above. Usually it says to run install if there are no errors.

  I have since installed the binary distribution of Qt so that I am not blocked by this. But I still would like to learn how to do a full install of Qt and Qt Creator from source.

• Looks like you built the qtscript module successfully, that’s why I’m asking whether you ran make install before trying to build the example.
