I am trying to link cmake with one of my Qt projects that uses QApplication. I am getting this error when I build the project
Cannot open include file: 'QApplication': No such file or directory
I am only using QApplication and QWebEngineWidget in my .cpp file and QDir in the header file
main.h
#ifndef MAIN_H
#define MAIN_H
#include <QDir>
QUrl getlink(){
QUrl url = QUrl::fromLocalFile(QDir::currentPath();
return url;
}
#endif // MAIN_H
main.cpp
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWebEngineView>
#include "main.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QWebEngineView view;
view.setUrl(getlink());
view.resize(1524, 850);
view.show();
return app.exec();
}
and here is the code from my CMake file for this application
if (ENABLE_QT_SimApp_GUI)
find_package(qtlibs)
find_package(SimApp)
if (NOT SimApp_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not find SimApp")
endif(NOT SimApp_FOUND)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${PREFIX_PATH})
message(STATUS "CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH" ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH})
find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets Core Gui Sql PrintSupport WebEngineWidgets)
qt5_wrap_cpp(QtSimAppProjectLib_hdr_moc ${QtSimAppProjectLib_hdr})
qt5_wrap_ui(QtSimAppProjectLib_ui_uic ${QtSimAppProjectLib_ui})
qt5_add_resources(QtSimAppProjectLib_qrc_rcc ${QtSimAppProjectLib_qrc})
include_directories (${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})
include_directories (${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR})
add_library (QtSimAppProjectLib STATIC ${QtSimAppProjectLib_src} ${QtSASQProjectLib_hdr_moc} ${QtSASQProjectLib_ui_uic})
target_link_libraries (QtSimAppProjectLib
Qt5::Core
Qt5::Gui
Qt5::Widgets
Qt5::Sql
Qt5::PrintSupport
Qt5::WebEngineWidgets)
#WIN32 to suppress the console window under Windows
add_executable(SIM_APP WIN32 ${QtSimAppProjectLib_src} ${QtSimAppProjectLib_qrc_rcc})
if (ENABLE_COPY_QT_LIBS AND WIN32)
find_package(qtdlls)
endif(ENABLE_COPY_QT_LIBS AND WIN32)
endif (ENABLE_QT_SimApp_GUI)
I am aware that I may not need the other linked libs but I kept them there for future development.
Anyway, when I added Qt5::WebEngineWidget for QWebEngineView in the target link it worked fine, but when I added Qt5::Widgets for QApplication it does not seem to be able to find the file and i dont know why.
Any idea on what could be the issue?
As mentioned in the comments by @vre , you never actually link your GUI app to Qt5
. Below is a fixed version of your posted CMakeLists.txt
