Unable to use Fluid in QtCreator on Linux

[daljit97]

I cannot seem to make Fluid work inside my project. I have cloned Fluid inside my project folder, then I used INCLUDEPATH and QML2_IMPORT_PATH to include the necessary folders. I also tried with qputenv("QML2_IMPORT_PATH", "fluid/qml"), but nothing works (I always get Fluid.Controls is not installed). I am on Linux. I have checked the previous issues on this topic but none of them seems to work.

@daljit97 , have you tried "make install"?

[daljit97]

Ok so I did that and then I added all the fluid/qml files into the qrc of my app. But now I get the following error:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:3 module "Fluid.Controls" plugin "fluidcontrolsplugin" not found

Could you show full project?

You can try to use qbs.

Example

// ras.qbs
import qbs
import qbs.FileInfo

Project {
    minimumQbsVersion: "1.7.1"

    CppApplication {
        Depends {
            name: "Qt"

                "opengl",
                "concurrent"
            ]
        }

        Depends { name: "lirideployment" }

                               lirideployment.qmlDir),

        Group {

@luntik2012 is qbs supported on Android?

[edips]

AFAIK qbs doesn't work for Android. To install Fluid for Android:

export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/home/.../android-ndk-r10e
cd fluid
mkdir build && cd build
<path/to/qt>/<android-kit>/bin/qmake ../fluid.pro CONFIG+=install_under_qt
make
make install

[plfiorini]

Unfortunately qbs doesn't provide the *deployqt features yet.
In the future I would like to see if I can at least wrap androiddeployqt and solve that temporarily, until qbs provides a solution itself.

@daljit97 Did you see the example on how to integrate Fluid in your qmake project?
See https://github.com/lirios/fluid/tree/develop/examples/perproject/minimalqmake

Ok so I did that and then I added all the fluid/qml files into the qrc of my app. But now I get the following error:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:3 module "Fluid.Controls" plugin "fluidcontrolsplugin" not found

That error appear because you don't have one of the dependencies installed:
