CloudCompare forum

Hi,

I'm trying to compile CloudCompare with the PCL plugin enabled but when I'm running the configure command in cmake 3.4.3 I get an error message saying the QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE is missing. With the debugging turned on in cmake I could figure out that the source of the problem was in "plugins\qPCL\PclUtils\CMakeLists.txt" on line 30.
I'm not a cmake pro, I don't know too much about it, but why is this cmakelist file is trying to specify the mocs for the .ui files explicitly? In qAnimation plugin there's no such line and it works fine.

Do I break it if I comment out that line and I take out the generated_ui_list variable from the add_library function call?

I have QT5 btw.

Indeed, I had the same issue recently.

You can simply click on 'Add Entry' and create a variable named 'QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE' that points to the uic.exe file of Qt (in the bin directory).

Or simply change 'qt5_wrap_ui' by 'qt5_wrap_ui' in this file (probably something we forgot when moving to Qt5 only ;)

I will post a pull request with the modified CMakeLists file.
But before that, how do I fix the expected naming convention for the "plugins\qPCL\PCLUtils\filters\dialogs" folder? The uic.exe expects ui_{dialog_name}.h formats.




EDIT: Wrong question. It seems that the qmake doesn't generate the ui header files.
EDIT2: It was because of a typeo in the cmakelist file.
