无法在 Mac 上的 Qt Creator 中链接 pylon 框架

Question

I'm trying to add the pylon framework to Qt creator on Mac.

QMAKE_LFLAGS += -F/Library/Frameworks/
LIBS += -framework pylon

This doesn't work to me. The error is always 'pylon/PylonIncludes.h' file not found .

I can specify the header path for Qt creator, eg INCLUDEPATH += /Library/Frameworks/pylon.framework/Versions/A/Headers . But it should be #include <PylonIncludes.h> , not #include <pylon/PylonIncludes.h> when including the head file in code.

However, the API headers all use such form as #include <pylon/PylonIncludes.h> , which means I cannot specify the path of header if I want to use the existing API.

Does anyone know how to add pylon framework to Qt creator?

Answer 1

A) If you are compiling this Pylon framework with source then

In these cases you need source code installation, you need to go to your Pylon source directory, eg:

 <path-to-pylon>/src/include/

You can locate the directory where PylonIncludes.h is installed by runing the following command:

  find <path-to-Pylon> -name PylonIncludes.h

Once you locate the directory eg lets say /Users/kevin/Pylon5.5 then you include add the following line in your CMAkeLists.txt

INCLUDEPATH += /Users/kevin/Pylon5.5/src/include/

B) If you have binary framework itself then you can workaround by copying all headers to tmporary location under pylon/<all-headers>

cp -rf /Library/Frameworks/pylon.framework/Versions/A/Headers/* /tmp/pylonHeaders/pylon/

Then use following in .pro file

  INCLUDEPATH += /tmp/pylonHeaders
  LIBS += -framework pylon

Please see Common Settings for Building Applications with pylon in Programmer's Guide and API Reference for pylon for OS X where instructions on how to set up XCode are well described:

This section shows the most common OS X build settings for building an application using pylon and Apple Xcode. Consult the Advanced Topics section for more information, eg when a different configuration is required.

First add the pylon framework to your project, right-click on your project and choose Add files to "< Projectname >"... . Browse to the install location of the pylon framework, typically /Library/Frameworks and choose pylon.framework , click Add button.

Add the following user-defined variable for Release and Debug configurations to your build target ( Build Settings -> User-Defined -> PYLON_LIBRARY_DIR ):

/Library

Add the following Framework Search Paths for Release and Debug configurations to your build target ( Build Settings -> Search Paths -> Framework Search Paths ):

$(PYLON_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks

Add the following Header Search Paths for Release and Debug configurations to your build target ( Build Settings -> Search Paths -> Header Search Paths ):

$(PYLON_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks/pylon.framework/Headers/GenICam

Add the following Runpath Search Path for Release and Debug configurations to your build target ( Build Settings -> Linking -> Runpath Search Path ):

$(PYLON_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks
