Congrats on this amazing book! Your focus on using C and C++ is really helpful and change minds (almost everybody is using Python for Raspberry). I’m running the HellowWorld example (the very first one for the Qt5 in this chapter) and I’m getting the message ” ‘label’ was not declared in this scope” in function ‘int main(int, char**). I believe I must change something at Header and .pro file. Any library missing or additional configuration required? Thanks!

The first time I tried to build a project I got errors.The error message and footnote on page 597 led to the solution. I had to add gcc and the path (/usr/bin/gcc) to allow Qt to find the compiler. So that’s the only configuration I had to do. Hope this helps.

Can anyone help ? – i tried to relate to Beagle videos, which I believe cover the necessary – but no joy.

Shame – seems like a cool package.

Here’s hoping :-

Even after update and upgrade this package can not be found. I assume it’s because the package does not work on Model B+. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks,
Tom

Check the PRO file in the project QtWeather — see: https://github.com/derekmolloy/exploringrpi/blob/master/chp14/QtWeather/QtWeather/QtWeather.pro I add the library using LIBS += -lwiringPi
Hope that helps, Derek.

I’m trying to compile QtWeather example in Qtcreator with raspberry pi cross tool-chain.
but i get error because the compiler cant find wiringPi.h.
i don’t know how to add these libraries to this example.
could you please help me?

Dani
