qt5kdevelop

GCC can't find header, but KDevelop has parsed it. How to solve?

I am including a KF5 header (#include <KXmlGui/KXMLGUIClient>) and while KDevelop gives me info about this header when I hover the directive, GCC by no means can find this and other (very few and random) KF5 headers.

I am using CMake and I used the api.kde.org to find (and link against) every needed module for every header. I can't figure this out.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • You will have to

    1. Make sure you have included XmlGui as a component in your find_package command.
    2. Be sure to add KF5::XmlGui in target_link_libraries for the target in question.

    If you're wondering, why target_link_libraries affects your include path, you're not alone - but that is the way it works.
