Trouble building hdbextractor-qt

Hi,

I'm trying to install hdbextractor-qt on an ubuntu 14.04 system running Tango 9.2.2. I've managed to compile and install /hdbextractor-qt (I used the release-0.94.0 version rather than trunk)

However, I'm getting a compiler error when trying to build hdbextractor-qt. I am following the instructions from this file: http://www.tango-controls.org/media/pybb_upload/attachments/0d4a844d-74ff-4a2e-abee-7ade26f7070c.txt

The qmake step completes successfully (I'm using QT4, is that correct?) but when I run make, I get this compiler error:



src/qhdbxutils.cpp:291:37: error: call of overloaded ‘isnan(double&)’ is ambiguous
                         if(isnan(val) || !indata[i].isValid() || indata[i].isNull())

There were more warnings, let me know if I should attach the whole build log.

Thanks

Hi,

I would suggest to replace
if(isnan(val) || !indata[i].isValid() || indata[i].isNull())
with
if(std::isnan(val) || !indata[i].isValid() || indata[i].isNull())
if you are compiling with C++11 flags or use a glibc >= 2.23 (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19439)

Cheers,

Hi,

Indeed, with the diff below it compiles. Should I try and submit this patch upstream, and if so, how do I go about it?

Thanks
Neilen

Hi,

Following up on my previous post, I have not managed to build hdbextractor-qt, but I am a bit confused with the result. I was expecting a GUI app that I could run, but instead only libhdbextractor-qt.so.1.0.5 was built. What else do I need to build/install/do to get a GUI app that can query an hdb++ database?

Thanks

Hello Neilen.

You can find a directory QHdbExtractor inside hdbextractor-qt folder.
qmake and make there!

Let me know.

Giacomo,

Thanks for that info. Unfortunately I get this error when trying to build:

src/qhdbextractor.cpp:2:37: fatal error: extscaleplotscenewidget.h: No such file or directory

What else do I need to install to build this package?

Thanks
Neilen

Hi, Neilen

I think you not make and install tgraphicsplot and it's plugins

I find src/plugins/tgraphicsplotplugin.cpp have an error:

// #include "extscaletplotscenewidget.h"
// should be:
#include "extscaleplotscenewidget.h"

QWidget *ExtScaleTPlotSceneWidgetPlugin::createWidget(QWidget *parent)
{
    // return new ExtScaleTPlotSceneWidget(parent);
    // should be:
    return new ExtScalePlotSceneWidget(parent);
}

Hi Neilen,

did you know there is a java application for retrieving and displaying data from hdb++? It is called jhdbviewer. We use it at extensively and is optimised for large data sets. It could be complementary to hdbextractor-qt. If you are interested it can be made available as binary jar.

Hi,

Indeed, I would be interested in the JAR. :)
