Hi all, on the road to kde devland (like hans ), i try to introduce with KAction and i can't link my appnameui.rc .
This is my CMakeLists.txt (everything is good):

Code: Select all

project (KXmlGuiWindow)
find_package( KDE4 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${KDE4_INCLUDES})
file( GLOB_RECURSE source_kxml src/* )
add_executable(KXmlWindow ${source_kxml} )
include(KDE4Defaults)
target_link_libraries(KXmlWindow ${KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS})
install(TARGETS KXmlWindow DESTINATION ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR})
install(FILES kxmlwindowui.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR})

And this is my appnameui.rc(called kxmlwindowui.rc):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gui name="kxmlwindow"
     version="1"
     xmlns="http://www.kde.org/standards/kxmlgui/1.0"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.kde.org/standards/kxmlgui/1.0
                         http://www.kde.org/standards/kxmlgui/1.0/kxmlgui.xsd" >
 
  <MenuBar>
    <Menu name="file" >
      <Action name="clear" />
    </Menu>
  </MenuBar>
 
  <ToolBar name="mainToolBar" >
    <text>Main Toolbar</text>
    <Action name="clear" />
  </ToolBar>
 
</gui>

And finally my kxmlwindow.cpp and main.cpp :

Code: Select all

//kxmlwindow.cpp
#include "mainwin.h"
// The include for kde
#include <KApplication>
#include <KAction>
#include <KLocale>
#include <KActionCollection>
#include <KStandardAction>

MainWin::MainWin(QWidget *parent) : KXmlGuiWindow(parent)
{
    textArea = new KTextEdit;
    setCentralWidget(textArea);
    setupActions();
}

void MainWin::setupActions()
{
    KAction* clearAction = new KAction(this);
    clearAction->setText(i18n("Clear"));
    clearAction->setIcon(KIcon("document-new"));
    clearAction->setShortcut(Qt::CTRL + Qt::Key_W);
    actionCollection()->addAction("clear", clearAction);
    connect(clearAction, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)),
          textArea, SLOT(clear()));
 
    KStandardAction::quit(kapp, SLOT(quit()),
                        actionCollection());
 
    setupGUI();
}

Code: Select all

#include <KApplication>
#include <KAboutData>
#include <KCmdLineArgs>

#include "mainwin.h"
#include <KLocale>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{

    KAboutData aboutData( "kxmlwindow", 0,ki18n("KAction"), "1.0",ki18n("On the road to kde devland"),KAboutData::License_GPL,ki18n("Copyright (c) 2009 Developer") );
    KCmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, &aboutData);
    KApplication app;
    MainWin* window = new MainWin();
    window->show();
    return app.exec();
}

I have this message when i launch my app:

Code: Select all

[kusa@localhost KXmlWindow]$ ./KXmlWindow
kxmlwindow(5909)/kdeui (kdelibs): No such XML file "kxmlwindowui.rc"


Thanks a lot for your help.

You need to change the following line in your CMakeLists.txt file to be as follows:

Code: Select all

install(FILES kxmlwindowui.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/<NAME OF YOUR APPLICATION>)

Same problem with install(FILES kxmlwindowui.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/KXmlWindow)

I have a folder called KXmlWindow, see ls command:

Code: Select all

[kusa@localhost KXmlWindow]$ ls
CMakeCache.txt       cmake_uninstall.cmake
CMakeFiles/          CTestTestfile.cmake
cmake_install.cmake  KXmlWindow*
CMakeLists.txt       kxmlwindowui.rc
CMakeLists.txt~      Makefile
CMakeTmp/            src/


In Src, i've main.cpp, mainwin.cpp, mainwin.h files... i don't understand KAction, QAction is more usably i think.

Try installing it to: ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/kmxlguiwindow instead.

Same Problem... my file .rc is in good place or not?

Can you please post the "mainwin.h" file so I can compile and test the source code?

Here comes

Code: Select all

#ifndef MAINWIN_H
#define MAINWIN_H

#include <KXmlGuiWindow>
#include <KTextEdit>

class MainWin : public KXmlGuiWindow
{
    public:
        MainWin(QWidget *parent = 0);
    private:
        KTextEdit* textArea;
        void setupActions();
};

#endif

It worked for me.... I did make some small changes to the CMakeLists.txt file though.

Code: Select all

project( KXmlGuiWindow )
find_package( KDE4 REQUIRED )
include_directories( ${KDE4_INCLUDES} )
file( GLOB_RECURSE source_kxml src/* )
kde4_add_executable( kxmlwindow ${source_kxml} )
include( KDE4Defaults )
target_link_libraries( kxmlwindow ${KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS} )
install( TARGETS kxmlwindow DESTINATION ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR} )
install( FILES kxmlwindowui.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/kxmlwindow )

Hummm very strange, i try with your CMakeLists but it's the same problem, where did you place your kxmlwindowui.rc?

When I ran CMake, I used the following command:

Code: Select all

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix)

You then need to run "make install" ( may need sudo )

Ok it's resolved but if i don't want to compile it with root??

Thank you a lot for your help

You don't have to compile as root, but you will need to install as root.

Code: Select all

make
sudo make install

You don't have to install as root if you're not going to install in a system directory like /usr (you can install, for example, in a special directory in you $HOME directory). But the point is that you have to install the app (with make install) to copy the .rc files to the correct directory.

Of course, running the app from a special KDE directory in your $HOME takes a few more extra steps.
