Now that seems odd…

You can always find them in the Examples subfolder of your QtSDK installation.

Yeh, the sources are there. But I was looking for an executable which allows the user to test the examples without going through the building process.

I have used QT before, but that a long time ago. Then, it came with compiled examples.

There is no executable for qtdemo anymore in the sdk.

But as you have choosen to install them you should find a map with the sources and a .pro file.

Your other choice is using qt Creator’s welcome screen. That way you can open the same sources and compile there.

It’s a pity they are not installed anymore because they help a lot to find the right examples.

Is there any script or make file, using which, I can batch compile all of those? and make a single executable before, like what QT provided before.

I haven’t done it myself because i still have an old installation with the executable.

But you should be able to compile it using

I tried to build the example (in QT Creator, Build > Build Project “examples”) opening the examples.pro, but it gave me the following 4 warnings and errors.

Warning:
C:\QtSDK\Examples\examples-build-desktop\graphicsview\portedasteroids\..\..\..\4.7\graphicsview\portedasteroids\ledmeter.cpp:-1: In member function ‘virtual void KALedMeter::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)’:

C:\QtSDK\Examples\examples-build-desktop\graphicsview\portedasteroids\..\..\..\4.7\graphicsview\portedasteroids\ledmeter.cpp:146: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

Error
:-1: error: cannot find -lpnp_basictoolsd

:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

and it stopped.

Why there would be any error.

Edit : Im gonna try with the demos.pro

I tried with, demos.pro, it gives me the following error,

C:\QtSDK\Demos\demos-build-desktop\shared\..\..\4.7\shared\arthurwidgets.cpp:54: error: private/qpixmapdata_p.h: No such file or directory

this shouldn’t be! :(

Same here regarding the demos (I didn’t investigate any further though)

got an idea, I can install the old version to get the demos. :D

but, that’s not a solution anyway :P

@loladiro do you face the same thing for both examples.pro and demos.pro

there is another qtdemo.pro inside Demos/qtdemos, but it doesn’t compile too.

@loladiro @creasy.. Let me clear this up.. AFAIK this is a difference in Qt sources in Linux and Windows. In linux, we have a seperate include folder with the headers.. The private folder in this include seems to exist in QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/471/gcc/ and QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/472/gcc/ but not the 473.

Ok, the examples are compiling without any problem and the demo error is a known bug [bugreports.qt.nokia.com]

Edit: @jim_kaiser: How come you always post when I’m just writing mine. But you’re right, it is platform dependent (see also the bugreport I linked to). However, I still think that linking to private headers is bad practice since those are not part of the public API and can be changed or removed.

EDIT2: Correction. I was a little early to claim the examples were compiling. In fact I get the same error.

But hey… i just compiled the qtdemo.pro and it worked. Qt Creator 2.2.0 .. SDK 1.1.1

[Edit: Sorry.. I assumed we were talking about Linux.. Works in Linux. In Windows I should check.. tomorrow at work! But yeah mostly it should just be about adding an include directory maybe..]
[Edit again: Okay known bug… I shall rest..]

I’m on Linux (Ubuntu), but according to the bug report, the private header file is not needed on Windows.

@loladiro: It doesn’t compile on linux for you? Works for me.. And hehe… we do tend to post simultaneously! And yeah the private files are probably not needed.. We do link to one in our application at work… but we also maintain our patch in the related classes each version.. so thats okay :P. Could you check if using “QtGui/private/qpixmapdata_p.h” works? In case the sub dirs are not added in the include path. But if not needed on Windows as the bug report says.. can be commented i presume.
