Ubuntu18.04中配置QT5.11开发环境

准备工作

参考 https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu .

# 安装g++
sudo apt install build-essential
# 
sudo apt install libfontconfig1 # 安装openGL支持 sudo apt install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

从ustc镜像直接下载安装包, 地址是 http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/qtproject/official_releases/qt/5.11/5.11.1/

执行chmod u+x使其可执行

安装

直接运行 qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.11.1.run, 会出现安装界面, 这一步可以配置网络代理, 往下进行需要填写自己在QT注册的账户和口令, 会进行在线验证.

设置安装目录时, 可以将路径配置到/opt下, 例如 /opt/qt/Qt5.11.1, 会在最后一步时弹出提示输入su口令.

组件选择: 如果空间足够的话, 除了一个deprecated的以外, 都选上吧. 实测, 整个安装下来占地5.4GB

然后就可以在菜单中找到Qt Creator, 启动似乎非常快, 一秒不到就打开界面了, 完全不像一个数百MB的程序啊

运行一个例子

在网上找了一个例子, 项目名叫First, 但是编译中出现了错误

$ gcc   first.o all   -o first
gcc: error: all: No such file or directory

这个是因为文件名称first引起了歧义. 将项目名改为MyFirst就正常编译通过了.

原因说明 https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/32635-compilation-errors-quot-gcc-all-No-such-file-or-directory-quot 

The Makefile contains a generated (fake) target called "first" and it also contains a set of explicit and implied rules related to the source file "first.cpp". The make command builds your TARGET (which is named after the directory if not specified) and then decides that because "first.o" changed it must rebuild the "first" target: at this point it gets confused.

$ make
/usr/bin/moc -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SQL_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtSql -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. first.cpp -o first.moc

gcc   first.o all   -o first   // <<<<< confused, decides to rebuild "first" target using a file called "all"
gcc: all: No such file or directory
make: *** [first] Error 1

You get similar confusion (that make recovers from) if "TARGET = first" even with no files called "first.cpp".

$ make
/usr/bin/moc -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SQL_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtSql -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. main.cpp -o main.moc
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SQL_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtSql -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. -o main.o main.cpp
make: Circular all <- first dependency dropped.   // <<<< confused but recognises the situation
g++ -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/qt4 -o first main.o    -L/usr/lib/qt4 -lQtSql -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib/qt4 -lQtGui -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lQtCore -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lpthread

Adding

    .PHONY = first

to Makefile fixes this problem but probably generates another if the TARGET = first. The change would be overwritten by qmake anyway. Easier to just avoid it.

QScrollBar组件

结合Qt5中对于QScrollBar的说明, 对void MainWindow::scaleImage(double factor) 和 void MainWindow::adjustScrollBar(QScrollBar *scrollBar, double factor) 这两个方法进行分析.

 

a. 这是滚动条的滑块, 提供了快速的定位, 但是不能提供精确的定位
b. 箭头按钮用于精确地浏览定位, 对于文本编辑器, 典型的步长是一行, 而对于图片则是20像素.
c. 翻页控制部分, 点击的效果等价于一次翻页, 正常情况下, 一个翻页对于scrollbar的value的变化等于滑块的长度.
每个滚动条有一个value字段, 用于标示此滑块距离滚动条起点的距离. 这个值一定是介于 minimum() 和 maximum() 之间. 在 minimum value和 maximum value时, 滑块的位置分别如上图所示. 所以要注意, 这个滚动条的长度并非等于maximum().

由此可知, 对于前面例子中图片放大factor倍时, 对于scrollbar.value:
1. 如果value不变, 那么当图片放大时, 因为maximum value增大, 故滑块一边缩小, 一边位置会往起始方向收缩
2. 如果value与factor进行同等比例的放大, 那么滑块一边缩小, 一边起始边界的位置保持不变
3. 如果value与factor进行同等比例放大的同时, 增加滑块长度(pageStep)的收缩长度, 那么滑块一边缩小, 一边中心位置保持不变. 所以上面adjustScrollBar()方法的处理为

value = int(factor * value + ((factor - 1) * step/2));

Qt5的Layout

常用的Layout主要有以下几种

• QHBoxLayout 将组件按水平进行布局, 宽度平均分割, 高度占满外框
• QVBoxLayout 将组件按垂直进行布局, 高度平均分割, 宽度占满外框
• QGridLayout 将组件按表格进行布局, 类似于HTML中的table tr td, 可以水平跨列, 也可以垂直跨行
• QFormLayout 用于有多个成对的标签+输入的界面, 可以设置不同风格以及在宽带不足时自动换行
• QGraphicsAnchorLayout 用于在组件上添加锚点, 并以锚点的相对位置来控制布局
• QStackedLayout 对于内部的组件, 每次只显示一个(可以用于制作标签页)

而在主窗口中, 常用的底层布局并非Layout, 而是QSplitter. 这个自带了对内部widget的自动拉伸, 以及分隔栏的鼠标拖动调整,非常方便. 可以参考Redis Desktop Manager的布局设计(是qml格式的, 但是可以看出来布局的设计) https://github.com/uglide/RedisDesktopManager/blob/0.9/src/qml/app.qml

Qt界面程序编写的步骤

1. 设计好全局的QAction, 这个可以被顶栏菜单QMenuBar, 工具栏QToolBar 以及 右键弹出菜单QMenu引用.

2. 设计好主窗体布局和主要widget

3. 开始制作各种slot, 并且将QAction connect到对应的slot上, 这一步需要开始设计各个弹出的QDialog
