Unknown globals when installing ZXing Scanner - zxing

I have a Xamarin.Forms project which needs a QR code scanner. I found ZXing Scanner which seems to be a well established library for such purposes.
I installed it in the corresponding android project which worked without errors. When I wanted to build the app, Resource.Designer.cs was adjusted with the following lines:
global::ZXing.Mobile.Resource.Id.contentFrame = global::my.project.Droid.Resource.Id.contentFrame;
global::ZXing.Mobile.Resource.Layout.zxingscanneractivitylayout = global::my.project.Droid.Resource.Layout.zxingscanneractivitylayout;
global::ZXing.Mobile.Resource.Layout.zxingscannerfragmentlayout = global::my.project.Droid.Resource.Layout.zxingscannerfragmentlayout;
The problem is that I as well get the following errors:
'my.project.Droid.Resource.Id' does not contain a definition for 'contentFrame'
'my.project.Droid.Resource.Layout' does not contain a definition for 'zxingscanneractivitylayout'
'my.project.Droid.Resource.Layout' does not contain a definition for 'zxingscannerfragmentlayout'
I installed ZXing using NuGet but I as well tried to add the dlls manually. I get the same errors. Can anyone help me how to fix this?
Thank you in advance.

It's quite possible that your Resource.Designer.cs is not updating correctly:
Clean Project Build
Remove ZXing package.
Clean Project Build
Add ZXing package
Clean and Build Project once again
If it won't help:

Swift Package Manager (package successfully added, but Module not found)

I'm new in Swift. I want to create iOS app that can connect to PostgreSQL database. First I found library https://github.com/vapor/postgresql.git that should be added to my project via Swift Package Manager. Using tutorial I added required library to my project successfully (File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency):
list of added packages from SPM
But when I try to import this module into my view controller, Xcode shows error that module is not found:
not found
I tried several times to rebuild my project, created new project just for testing this issue. Also I found information about build phases and added this lib as a dependency:
build phases
But I still get error: "No such module PostgreSQL".
Can anyone help me?
I found solution by myself. I compiled C static library "libpq" (can be found in PostgreSQL sources) and added it to my swift project. Included this library by adding special bridging header file. Finally I got what I wanted.
P.S. If someone what to repeat, he or she should know: static C library must be compiled for iOS device architecture (and also in iOS simulator architecture which differs from iOS device arch.).

How to expose an Objective-C Module properly using Bazel?

I'm trying to build RxSwift using Bazel in order to be able to use it in a dummy project as a dependency, for the sake of getting to know it a bit.
We don't use the latest RxSwift version at the moment, but version 4.4.2.
After reading through the docs, I've come to the point where I successfully add the specific release to my workspace as an http_archive, and supply my own BUILD file to build that external dependency RxSwift.
You can check out the BUILD file and WORKSPACE file here:
https://gist.github.com/daneov/487444109c703087862d830a3445ee86
Running
bazel build #rx_swift//:RxSwift
yields a Swift compilation error:
No such module: RxAtomic
So, this shows that my I'm missing something with regards to exposing the Objective-C module to a Swift library.
I currently supply these options to the objc_framework:
enable_modules = 1,
alwayslink = 1,
module_name = "RxAtomic"
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/pointers!
You should call bazel build with --experimental_objc_enable_module_maps option

Add plain Android library to a Flutter plugin

This might be a duplicate of this question. But it has no answer and I will give some details here.
I have created a module with File->New Module->Android Library inside my Flutter plugin's android project. And now I have a structure like below:
|-my_plugin
|-android
|-settings.gradle
|-build.gradle
|-mylibrary
|-build.gradle
/android/settings.gradle:
rootProject.name = 'my_plugin'
include ':mylibrary'
/android/build.gradle:
...
dependencies {
implementation project(':mylibrary')
}
When I build example plugin project (which is automatically created by Flutter CLI) with flutter build apk or flutter run, I get this error:
Project with path ':mylibrary' could not be found in project ':my_plugin'.
Any suggestions?
For those who are still looking for a solution. You can try this.
Instead of putting the below code in the plugin setting.gradle, place it in example/android/settings.gradle
include ':mylibrary'

Update from Qt 5.5.1 to Qt 5.6 leads to linking errors

I just try to update a project from Qt5.5.1 to Qt5.6 and now it fails during linking.

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The programm compiled fine with QT5.5.1 using qbs.
Now I added the new QT Version and I get these errors.
I have no idea, why qbs adding two time the "lib" prefix, nor why qbs is trying to use it at all. This program should use the shared libraries of Qt.
Could someone give me a hint, how I can fix this? Or what the cause of the problem might be?
This issue was resolved in qbs 1.5.0.

mpglib_interface.c 'interface.h' file not found

I an trying to compile the WunderRadio app source code available here http://dev.wunderground.com/support/wunderradio/wunderradio.1.9lgpl.zip. After making all the modifications to the project to compile on iOS5 i get the following error:
Lexical or Preprocessor Issue 'interface.h' file not found.
Of course i tried getting the interface.h from the lame library that i previously downloaded, and added it to the project with no luck. Apparently its not the right file.
What am i missing ?
I found this file at:
http://code.google.com/p/live-converter/source/browse/trunk/include/interface.h?r=13
