Compiler errors unless INCLUDEPATH += "/usr/include/QtOAuth" "/usr/include/QtCrypto"

[Chris Wilson]

The usage instructions for QOauth only specify "CONFIG += oauth" in the project file and "#include <QtOAuth>" in the source code. However, following this process I encountered the following compiler error:

fatal error: QtOAuth: No such file or directory

After verifying that libqoauth-dev was installed and QtOAuth was present in /usr/include/QtOAuth, I added INCLUDEPATH += "/usr/include/QtOAuth" to my project file, which solved the problem, but left me with another error:

fatal error: QtCrypto: No such file or directory

Adding /usr/include/QtCrypto to the INCLUDEPATH solved that and allowed me to finish compilation.

This behaviour in contrary to the design philosophy behind QOAuth, where things are supposed to be done the "Qt way". For example, to use Qt's XML features in my code, I would add QT += xml to my project file and #include <QtXml> to my source code, and that's it.

The include paths should be resolved automatically, leading me to believe there's a problem with the packaging.

I forgot to mention that LIBS += -lqoauth is also required for the linking to succeed.
