Hi All,

I've been following the "Create a Media Player" tutorial on http://www.tuxradar.com/learnqt and have run into a problem getting it to run. I get an error message "~/src/mediamangler/mainwindow.h:11: error: Phonon: No such file or directory"

I've done a search online, but there seems to be more heat than light surrounding this issue. What I think is happening is that Qt Creator cannot find the Phonon libraries and/or headers. Indeed the "#include <Phonon>" entry near the top of the "mainwindow.h" file has a wiggly yellow line underneath it (suggesting an error?). When I mousepointer-over the entry, the "Phonon: No such file or directory" message appears in blue near by. Other entries, like "#include <QList>" give a message of "/usr/include/QtCore/QList" in blue, an obvious directory path.

It looks like it is a simple matter of adding the path to Phonon in a config file somewhere but I'm stumped as to where to find it (or how to add the path it via Qt Creator). Any ideas please?

I'm using openSuSE 11.4, 64 bit, with Qt 4.7.1 and Qt Creator 2.1.0 on one machine and openSuSE 11.3, 32 bit, with Qt 4.6.3 and Qt Creator 1.3.1 on another machine, I have the same problem on both. The "phonon" and "phonon-devel" packages are present on both systems.

Many thanks in advance for your help,
Bruno

OK, at risk of looking like I'm bumping my post, perhaps the best place to try is the Qt forums before coming here. However, if anyone else is having the same problem, the following link contains some illumination http://www.qtforum.org/article/27656/phonon-mediaobject-no-such-file-or-directory.html#post95894.

By including the following code at the top of the "mainwindow.h" file:
