botan development package not found

Question

0I'm trying to do SFTP in qtcreator (installed in rpi noobs). I have come across this project https://github.com/sandsmark/QSsh. While following these steps:

git clone https://github.com/sandsmark/QSsh.git
cd QSsh
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../qssh.pro
make (or mingw32-make or nmake depending on your platform)

In the last command I get an error saying "botan development package not found". I have also installed botan using the following command.

sudo apt-get install botan

and now botan is present. But I get the same error again and again. What I'm missing here.

Answer 1

You need install builded library. Run make install after you build botan-2. A folder with the library will be created. (For me it was a C:/mingw/lib/libbotan-2.a). Add installed botan-2 library into qssh project in Qt (right click on project folder -> Add Library -> External and choose a file libbotan-2.a.

In my case, Qt added the following commands in ssh.pro file

LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../mingw/lib/ -lbotan-2

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../mingw/include/botan-2
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../mingw/include/botan-2

Now Qt project can be correct build... I hope my solution will help!
