Hi,
When i am trying to build this library I am receiving the following error. Can you please explain what possibly could the reason be?

g++ -c -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 -fno-exceptions -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -DQT_LOCATION_LIB -DQT_POSITIONINGQUICK_LIB -DQT_QUICK_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_POSITIONING_LIB -DQT_QML_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/home/paras/Libraries/googlemaps -I. -I/home/paras/Libraries -I/home/paras/Libraries/googlemaps -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5 -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtLocation -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtPositioningQuick -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtQuick -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtGui -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtPositioning -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtQml -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtNetwork -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore -I.moc -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o .obj/qgeoserviceproviderplugingooglemaps.o /home/paras/Libraries/googlemaps/qgeoserviceproviderplugingooglemaps.cpp

Hi @Paras-97,

I got the same error when trying to build this library, solve it by changing the Qt version for qmake.

1. You might want to check out your QtLocation folder, to see if it has a folder name "private". In my case it doesn't exist, and I think it's the reason for this error. The folder should be located at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtLocation
2. If the private folder doesn't exist like my case, then what I did is:
   sudo rm /usr/bin/qmake
   sudo ln -s /path/to/your/qt/bin/qmake /usr/bin/qmake
   Make sure in this version of Qt, there is a private folder in QtLocation folder (for my case it's /home/Qt/6.5.1/gcc_64/include/QtLocation/6.5.1/QtLocation/private)
3. if it still can't find the file, then in googlemap.pro file, you might want to add:
   INCLUDEPATH += path/to/QtLocation/private
   (I'm not too sure about step 3 but you can try after done step 2 and it's still not working)
