error: ‘endl’ is not a member of ‘Qt’ and library dependencies about qarv HOT 8 CLOSED

Just found this issue (thanks!) and wanted to add that I solved this in a more C++ way ;-)

I also used this approach for QString::SkipEmptyParts

#include <QtGlobal>
#include <QString>

#if QT_VERSION < QT_VERSION_CHECK(5, 14, 0)
namespace Qt
{
    static auto endl = ::endl;
    static auto SkipEmptyParts = QString::SkipEmptyParts;
}
#endif

Went for good old macros. After all I'm a C programmer rather than a C++ one 😄

#include <QtGlobal>

#if QT_VERSION >= QT_VERSION_CHECK(5,14,0)
#define ENDL Qt::endl
#else
#define ENDL endl
#endif

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look soonish. I need to know a bit more, though: you say that you had to move the library. From where to where, exactly?

from qarv.

hey, i've copied it from the build folder to /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
since this is where aravis moves its library too.
But it probably depends on the distro.
"sudo /sbin/ldconfig -v" should give you the paths and libs that get looked up by the system.

from qarv.

Well, I've had mixed results.

I've used CMake-provided magic to get proper install paths. However, it will only work properly it you install to /usr by defining -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr. Installing to /usr/local, which is the default, will exhibit the same problem as before because CMake and Ubuntu disagree on what is the proper path in this case.

As for the Qt::endl issue, I'm not sure what I can do. The "bare" endl is deprecated since Qt 5.14 or 5.15 (not sure), and we're supposed to use fully-specified Qt::endl. But Ubuntu 20.04 comes with Qt 5.12, which doesn't have that. Using "\n" instead is not a good workaround because we'd need to add Qt::flush as well, and it has the same problem as Qt::endl.

@KlemenBlokar @alajovic @shrx Any ideas?

from qarv.

Hey, I agree that "\n" is more a quick hack than a solution. For that I'm probably going to update my QT and leave this as a note for other Ubuntu users.
The contradicting about using this on Ubuntu 20.04 is having to install libilmbase12 and libopenexr22 that come from Ubuntu 18.04 and got dropped in 20.04 but the QT version in Ubuntu 20.04 seems to be to old.

from qarv.

Interesting, I set up a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 container in order to test this, and did not need to install neither libilmbase12 nor libopenexr22. I'm sure this must be specific to your system; if I had to guess, I'd say you have some remnants somewhere that were left after a distribution upgrade. Or perhaps something that you installed manually sometime in the past.

Ah, to hell with it, let's just use the deprecated endl. I hate looking at warnings, but I guess working software has priority, right? ;)
