Qt4.4 pre release


Message 1 in thread

i had installed Qt4.4 prerealease 
with phonon. when i execute the example musicplayer in it

i get the error like this

Phonon::createPath: Cannot connect Phonon::MediaObject(no objectName) to
Phonon::AudioOutput(no objectName).

and another warning that
 backend not loaded

i didnt installed phonon backend yet... i am using linux and i thought
of installing Gstreamer , if i have to install it where to install,
inside Qt 4.4 or just install in the system, so that Qt will make use of
it by itself.

regards

This warnings you get means that phonon could not find any backend  
plugins to load. And the reason for this is that you have not  
installed gstreamer yet. Do this before you build/install Qt. You  
should not have to decide where to install gstreamer, your package  
management tool should handle this for you (if you e.g. use Synaptic  
or just apt-get from the command line in case of Ubuntu). Installing  
gstreamer is a separate process that has nothing to do with Qt.

When you have build Qt, the plugin should then be located in $QTDIR/ 
plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so.

Technically speaking, Phonon consist of two parts: the frontend that  
your application links against, and the backends plugin that is loaded  
at run-time. You can build phonon frontend without gstreamer, but not  
the backend plugin that it needs. So yes, you must install gstreamer  
before you build Qt.

The easiest way for you now is to install gstreamer (e.g sudo apt-get  
install .*gstreamer.*), and then build and install Qt again from  
scratch.

Well, it is (should be?) quite obvious that if you want to compile against 
some library you also need the packages containing the header-files. And most 
distributions ship them in separate packages named *-dev. So you would need 
gstreamer-dev at least...
