error building lomiri calculator app

nibzy26 · 29 Sept 2023, 06:28

Hi Folks,
I am on ubuntu 20.4 PC and have clickable 7.12.3 installed .
My phone is not attached to my PC.
I cloned the lomiri calculator app from gitlab and did
clickable build --libs --debug

The error I got was "no libraries defined"

CLICKABLE_FRAMEWORK=ubuntu-sdk-20.04 clickable build --libs --debug
v8.0.0 of clickable is available, update to get the latest features and improvements!
No libraries defined.

then i skipped the --libs and just used clickable build --debug
this time it was working fine but at the end i got this error
uccessfully built package in './calculator.ubports_4.0.1_all.click'.
Running review on /home/nsyed/calc/lomiri-calculator-app/build/all/app/calculator.ubports_4.0.1_all.click

Command exited with non-zero exit status 2, see above for details. This is most likely not a problem with Clickable.

How to fix this error please.

@nibzy26 you need to instruct clickable to skip the reviewing step check the clickable documentation on how to do that.

@arubislander Thanks
i disabled the review now I can see the .click package built.
After building calculator package Now I am doing changes in main lomiri repo. ..development/core/lomiri.git
Questions:
1 . Can we build a deb package with it. I mean how are we going to distribute our built packages to other people so that they can install on their phones .
2 . Making significant gui changes like adding animations fancy butons and visual effects seem difficult by just editing qml files inside lomiri src as it takes a lot of time.
So I was wondering if we can move just the qml/c++ source files to another qml visual tool like QML designer , make changes there, and then move the src files back to lomiri for building the packages.
I hope i am making sense as I want to see the Live GUI update while editing the qml src files .This makes it quicker compared with making changes in lomiri src within clickable/ide environment and if we want to see our changes we have to build again and run the emulation which is time consuming.

Please advise

thanks

I am trying to build the lomiri .git repo
The command
syed@nsyed-HP-Laptop-15-bs1xx:~/lomiri$ CLICKABLE_FRAMEWORK=ubuntu-sdk-20.04 clickable build --libs --debug

Yes, haven't you read the Readme ?( note that some path have changed since, it needs updating ) : https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri
If you want to share your progress, it could be done via a Merge Request in Lomiri repo, users then will able to install it locally via e.g for MR 72 : ubports-qa install focal_-_PR_lomiri_72

2 . Making significant gui changes like adding animations fancy butons and visual effects seem difficult by just editing qml files inside lomiri src as it takes a lot of time.

Lomiri is not a classic app, hundreds of component needed, it will be hard to make them work with a designer. A way to test quite "quickly" your change can be done with the helpers ( see Readme, or demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgV8z0IsYzY&t=2s , previous one https://youtu.be/sejOiSEv1Vk )

Please advise

Actually the complete output is quite long so was looking for an option to attach file here .is there any option here.
However with the shell in qt creator ide i was able to do make -j8 successfully and the build and run button also work fine here .
but the clickable commands on the terminal dont work

Ok i see, i did a MR for that https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/merge_requests/110
Waiting for merge...,

meanwhile just see what i did in CMakeLists.txt ( just comment the lines below "# enable QML debugging"

nibzy26 · 29 Sept 2023, 12:04

@lduboeuf I disabled the lines as you mentioned in the lomiri/CMakeLists.txt like

enable QML debugging

#string(TOLOWER "${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}" cmake_build_type_lower) # Build types should always be lowercase but sometimes they are not.
#if(cmake_build_type_lower MATCHES "debug")
#add_definitions(-DQT_QML_DEBUG)

and got the error

@nibzy26 did you clean the build folder in case ?
Do you still try to build with clickable build --libs ( try remove --debug)

nibzy26 · 29 Sept 2023, 13:19

@lduboeuf Thanks

--build without --debug worked okay

Ok now trying to completely change gui look of the lomiri calculator app. I have the lomiri-calculator folder open in VSS code and i am making changes there but I cant see my changes when i run clickable desktop command
my sequence of commads is

edit qml files in VSS code
run clickable build
clickable desktop

I dont see my changes any idea why ?

Also how can i see my changes quickly without building and running desktop commands as these commands take time

Thanks

humm, no need to run "clickable build" + "desktop", "clickable desktop" will do both.
if you don't see your change it could be that you are modifying the code from the build folder instead of the source ?
there is a Live Reload tool now if the app you are trying to modify doesn't contain c++/python backend : clickable desktop --qmllive

Hi,

In My calculator app I want to add an image as background to a rectangle but it cannot fing image location and says
QML QQuickImage: Cannot open: file:///home/nsyed/calc/lomiri-calculator-app/build/all/app/install/share/qml/ui/backspace-outline.png

My Code:
Rectangle {
visible: (role == "button")
height: parent.height
width: height
anchors.centerIn: parent

    border.color: "red"
    
 
    Image {
        visible: true
        source: "backspace-outline.png"
        anchors.fill: parent
        fillMode: Image.Stretch // Adjust this as needed
    }   
   
}

Question: where I should put my png or svg files ?
2. should i use svg or png ?
3. I think build folder is not the place to put my image .where should i put my image file then ?

Please advise

Thanks

arubislander · 4 Oct 2023, 15:33

@nibzy26 where is your image file, relative to the qml file you are referencing it from?

nibzy26 · 5 Oct 2023, 04:55

@arubislander
Its in the same folder as qml file

is that file present ? /home/nsyed/calc/lomiri-calculator-app/build/all/app/install/share/qml/ui/backspace-outline.png

nibzy26 · 5 Oct 2023, 13:43

@lduboeuf
yes I manually placed there but everytime it builds it firsts deletes all files in build folder and then builds
I guess something wrong with my syntax

I have tried placing it in the same folder with other qml files

I have tried placing it in my home folder and set it as
source: '/home/nsyed/backspace-outline.png'

arubislander · 5 Oct 2023, 15:51

@nibzy26 placing it in the root of your home folder won't work, the app is not allowed to read the contents there.. Also you shouldn't need to be copying it anywhere manually.
Do you have your project anywhere online?
