[Development] quickcontrols has now a hard dependancy on widgets.

Thu Apr 2 10:48:32 CEST 2015

Hello,
it has been quite some time since this thread, but yesterday i tried the approach using no_desktop just to find out, the the qtsvg imageformat plugin,
has ( of course) a dependency on qtsvg, which in turn does also depend on widgets.
Ok so i thought i use -no-widgets when configuring, but my wec 2013 build using qt 5.5 git failed. By the nature of the problem, i think a win32 build would have failed too.
Note: that i am dong shadow builds and no -developer-build
This modifications made the build compile:

Qt Quick Controls do depend on QtWidgets because of styling on desktop. This may be solved in the future as we plan on having separate plugins for styles. (Notice that Qt Quick Controls are not integral part of Qt Quick but a separate module.)
 
If you're writing an embedded app, then you most likely have a cross-built version of Qt (I'm assuming that's the case for WEC2013, of which I don't know much), and that version probably doesn't need widgets. So you can do as Gunnar S. proposed. Otherwise, your only solution, as I said earlier, is to build Qt Quick Controls with CONFIG += no_desktop. The only feature you'll miss by doing so is the desktop native-looking style, but that wouldn't make sense on WCE2013 either, AFAICT.

Well, i know that leaving out widgets from configure would also solve this problem ,but as i wrote i also need widgets in my build for other programs.
I just dont understand that i get widgets dependency by just using quickcontrols. And QtQuick does NOT depend on widgets as you say. I just look with depends.exe
and qt5quick does only depend on gui,qml,network and core. qml  does depend on network and core only.

Configure qtbase with "-no-widgets" and all widget dependencies should be gone from both Qt Quick and from Controls.

HI Gabriel,
I didn't know that, but i don't want any widgets dependency for a qml application, neither on desktop nor anywhere else.

Gunnar

Hi Gunnar,

You can always rebuild QtQuick Controls making sure you add CONFIG += no_desktop in the .pro file. The widgets dependency is automatic if widgets are present except on mobile platforms (which, paradoxically, exclude embedded).

Hi,
Recently i deteced that quickcontrols plugim has started to add a hard dependency on widgets ( on wec2013 and win32 at least ).
dpends.exe is showing

as imported functions from Widgets library.

In contrast to this the quickcontrols dialog plugin has only a soft dependency via qpa, because of the possibility to use the widgets dialogs as a fallback.
Ir is very surprising to have a dependency on widgets, which loads this huge dll on our wec2013 platform into memory ( for performance reasons paging of exe/dll is switched off) . I admit that this does only happen if you also build widgets library, but i usually build as much a i can on a platform, even if i don't use it yet.

With this patch i now disable that dependency.

I would really appreciate a configure option for this.
