I want to show usb devices in my self witten kde programm and than do some action with this device like format, uname.... Is there a function to do that ? Should I use KAction ?

Another question: Is there a overview of all standard Icons which I can use with KIcon e.g a picture + name where I can search the suitable one für my need? An Link would help

Thanks for help and be patient I'm an newbie in KDE programming

does the command lsusb suffice?

KAction doesn't really seem related. Did you look at Solid?

I had a look at Solid but when I try the example at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... _Discovery I get always errors like this : .../main.cpp:47: undefined reference to `Solid::DeviceNotifier::instance()' and the links to the example code are also broken...

Is there somewere an example/tutorial how to use Solid to show/interact USB devices ?

Sounds like you don't link to the solid libs, do you?

This is my CmakeList but which solid lib should I link ?

Code: Select all

project(test)


find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)
include_directories( ${KDE4_INCLUDES} )
 
set(test_SRCS
   main.cpp
   mainwindow.cpp

)
 
kde4_add_executable(test${test_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(test ${KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS})

install(TARGETS test DESTINATION ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR})
install( FILES testui.rc
         DESTINATION  ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/test )

In KF5 it's KF5::Solid, for 4 I don't know right now, sorry -- maybe someone else knows or if not, google will tell you

Yea now the example works for me . I have to link the ${KDE4_SOLID_LIBS} but I don't find this in the documentation...google helps

Code: Select all

target_link_libraries(test ${KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS} ${KDE4_SOLID_LIBS})

I will continue...thanks for your help
