Hi,
That patch adds the support for Geoclue v2 only, which should be
available since Qt 5.12 (but not since Qt 5.9.7, AFAIK).
You can try to check it with lookup the 'qtposition_geoclue2.so' file in
the installed Qt's plugins path.
* Also, make sure that your distro has geoclue2 installed.
* Also it is unnecessary to use the QT_GEOCLUE_APP_DESKTOP_ID variable,
it is enough to specify the
QCoreApplication::applicationName() property instead.
* Besides, I'm not sure that this
QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource(this) will work, because it
may be not 'default' plugin.
Just try to use availableSources() && createSource() instead.
Denis.
