Compilation error help...?

Development

[details=Summary]This text will be hidden[/details]I’m trying to compile a new release of Qmplay2, and i get the following error:

In file included from /boot/system/develop/headers/QtGui/qvalidator.h:41:0,
from /boot/system/develop/headers/QtWidgets/qabstractspinbox.h:38, from /boot/system/develop/headers/QtWidgets/qspinbox.h:37,

/boot/system/develop/headers/QtCore/qregularexpression.h:49:1: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before 'class'
class QRegularExpressionMatch;
     ^

Now looking at the header file it’s a Qt .h file so i doubt that the problem is in that file, so what can trigger such an error? it seems a fairly common error i found alots of them on the net but none of the solutions adresses my prolem .

If building with Qt 5.7 or newer, be sure to build with -std=c++11 at least.

Yeah, i just realised that the authors recommend at least Qt-5.6, and i’m trying to build it with the old Qt-5.5.1 on a pure x86 build,that’s the only version available for this arch , and i don’t a powerfull machine to build a newer version locally.
But the weird thing is that i get a very similair error when building with Qt4 just a different header file name in this case.

                 from /boot/system/develop/headers/QtCore/qstringlist.h:45,

So i’m gonna submit the patch & recipe here in this forum for others to test and see whether it can build on other machines.

Here is the recipe
https://pastebin.com/eUXsSV07
And here is the patch
https://pastebin.com/q9gF35sT

Open the links in different tabs click on download buuton and then just rename the files

from qmplay2-17.04.21.recipe.sh
 to qmplay2-17.04.21.recipe
And from q9gF35sT.txt 
To qmplay2_x86-17.04.21.patchset

Well, there is already for recipe for a bit dated version of qmplay2:

https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/media-video/qmplay2/qmplay2-15.10.03.recipe
https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/media-video/qmplay2/patches/qmplay2_x86-15.10.03.patchset

I tried and it doesn’t apply cleanly on the version 17.04.21.

I tried and it doesn’t apply cleanly on the version 17.04.21.

Yes, alot of things have changed since that release, i wanted to update the package and submit it as a pull request to haikuports.
Did you try to build it with the recipe+patchset i provided links for in my previous comment?

6

No, I tried some weeks ago.

I added an updated recipe at Haikuports. Works a bit, crashes​, and only got audio played.

Unfortunately it doesn’t build, i get the following:

Project ERROR: libass development package not found

And I have such error:
– Package ‘glib-2.0’, required by ‘harfbuzz’, not found

I finaly got it to compile after i repatched the src with Pe, i think (and this is just a guess) that the editor i used “KODER” was adding invivsible chars and made a mess, now i know for a fact that an editor can do that to you, because i’ve seen this once with “ECLIPS” on another platform.
But now i have a diffrent problem where i need one of the devs’s help.
I have no sound with Qmplay2 because of a missing symbol in the libmediakit.so plugin, here is the output from the terminal.

    resolve symbol "_ZN12BSoundPlayerC1EPK22media_raw_audio_formatPKcPFvPvS5_mRS1_EPFvS5_NS_25sound_player_notificationEzES5_" returned: -2147478780
    [13 juin 2017 01:10:31] 
Impossible de charger la bibliothèque /boot/system/apps/QMPlay2/modules/libMediaKit.so : (Symbol not found)

These symbols are part of the <Soundplayer.h> and also in the soundplayer.cpp file in the mediakit module.
So why is it not in the plugin binary? and how can i fix this?

Oh! before anyone says it has to be linked against libmedia, see the Cmakelists.txt file below.

Below are the recipe & patch i used.

Dear khallebal, whether you could solve a problem of the missing symbol in the libmediakit.so?
