If you are going to build KDChart with Qt5, those Makefiles willnot be an issue anymore. The problems come from those Qt functionsthat are obsolete in Qt5, such as:
(1) qVariantValue(obj) is obsolete, which replaced byobj.value()
(2) qFindChild(obj, name) is obsolete, which is replaced byobj->findChildren(name)
(3)QPixmap::serialNumber is obsolete, which is replaced byQPixmap::cacheKey()
(5) QApplication::UnicodeUTF8 is obsolete
(6) QRegion::intersect is obsolete, which is replaced byQRegion::intersected
(7) QString::fromAscii is obsolete, which is replaced byQString::fromLatin1
(8) QGraphicsScene::itemAt is obsolete
(9) QGraphicsItem::setAcceptsHoverEvents is obsolete, which isreplaced by QGraphicsItem::setAcceptHoverEvents
(10) QAbstractItemModel::reset() is obsolete
As a result, you have to modify lots of source codes in order tobuild KDChart2.dll successfully. If you have trouble, you may sendme an email to get my copy. Enjoy;)//2016-1-3: end of comments
cd C:\KDChart configure.bat -shared -release set PATH=C:\KDChart\bin;%PATH% set LIB=C:\KDChart\lib;%LIB%
modify Makefiles:
C:\KDChart\src\Makefile
C:\KDChart\kdchartserializer\src\Makefile
C:\KDChart\uitools\Makefile
C:\KDChart\plugins\Makefile.plugins_plugin.Release
C:\KDChart\plugins\Makefile.plugins_plugin.Debug
C:\KDChart\plugins\ Makefile.plugins_lib
remove the “/GR /EHsc /wd4251” compiler options as shown below:
makeThe g++ compiler will complain about “_hypot”:
From stackoverflow.com, I found that:
Modify C:\MinGW\include\math.h as suggested by Keith:
make installThe default installation directory is ： C:\KDAB\KDChart-2.4.3
Be sure to add: C:\KDAB\KDChart-2.4.3\lib to the PATH environment variable, and copy the plugin\kdchart_plugin2.dll to $QTDIR/plugins/designer.
PS1: one last job, the C:\KDChart\include won't be copiedto C:\KDAB\KDChart-2.4.3\include.
cd c:\KDChart\include qmake make installPS2: How to build QT+KDChart+MinGW projects?
Make sure to add "QT+= svg" to the .pro file, or you will get runtimeerror!
Done!
