Hi,

I have written a library to share functionality which is used by my game and a seperate program. Now, that library

uses Felgo components for obvious reasons.

Before using Felgo in my library I could simply generate the qmltypes file by following this instructions:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-modules-qmldir.html#writing-a-qmltypes-file

This does no longer work when depending on Felgo.

I need the library in the qml module folder:

$VPLAYSDK$/5.5/gcc_64/qml/VPlay/

Copying the library from

$VPLAYSDK$/5.5/gcc_64/lib/libVPlay.a

is no problem.

But because (in my opinion) of a bug in qmlplugindump it does not work with static libraries.

Now, if I’m not totally wrong here and it’s really a bug, how can I get it to work? Would it be possible to provide a libVPlay.so for the time being?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Josh,

Interesting question, here is some information:

First of all, the qmlplugindump tool loads a dynamic library at runtime and searches for properties, methods and signals with the help of the QMetaObject methods. That requires the tool to use a shared runtime library, dumping a static library is not possible. So I don’t think that’s a bug, that’s just a technical restriction.

Back to your topic: What’s the error you’re experiencing with qmlplugindump and Felgo? Felgo ships with stub QML files in the qml/Felgo subdirectory which should be enough for the tool to work.

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks for the fast answer.

The complete output of qmlplugindump is:

The VPlay subdirectory contains:

$ ls qml/VPlay

vplay.qmltypes

 

My qmlplugindump call looks like this:

qmlplugindump -v $typeinfo $version $source > $dest/$typeinfo.qmltypes

$source points to the same parent folder in which the VPlay module resides. (My library is copied there beforehand).

$dest looks like $source/My/Module

 

Thanks for helping out.

I see. You can try the following:

1. Open the file /home/supaiku/FelgoSDK/5.5/gcc_64/qml/qmldir

2. Change the second line to

# plugin VPlay # only set for SDK deployment

(add the “#” to comment the line out)

Does this solve the issue?

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

this does indeed solve my problem.

Many thanks.
