RE: ROOT Qt Manual Example

Dear Kerry,

Thank you very much for your message.  

I have tested the example in question and found couple typos there.

The shell command on page 396  

   qmake HelloCint.pro

must be

   qmake MyQButton.pro  

The ROOT commands there are

   root[] gSystem->Load("libHelloCint.so")

   root[] MyQButton knopka;  

must be  

   root[] gSystem->Load("libMyQButton.so")

   root[] TMyQButton knopka;  

I did fix the problems and did test the example works as described with the "standard" ROOT distribution with no "extension"  

Please, find the protocol of my Linux session uploaded:

http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/expert/19.04.2006/putty.log  

All files there were "copy / paste" with the mouse directly from the ROOT Manual and executed "as is".  

Please, indicate which version of ROOT you did try.

There were a few bug in the ROOT Qt project files (see $ROOTSYS/include/*.pri)  

Thank you very much for your assistance with the ROOT Manual. That typo has to be fixed shortly.  

Best Regards

Subject: [ROOT] ROOT Qt Manual Example  

Dear ROOT team,

I am using ROOT 5.11.02 on CentOS (linux) compiled with gcc 3.4.4.

I have tried to duplicate the Qt example in the manual. The output of qmake and make are below.

[kerrylee_at_jsc-sf-2148872 MyQButtonEx]$ qmake MyQButton.pro WARNING: Failure to find: Dict.cxx

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQtGui

make: *** [libMyQButton.so.1.0.0] Error 1

I can omit -lQtGui from the last command and there are no errors, but I cannot load the created library into root. I have also searched for the libQtGui and it does not exist despite Qt being installed correctly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
