Interactive Scripting [SOLVED]

https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-interactiv ... troduction

My Operating System - Ubuntu 22.04
QCAD 3.28.1

I did not expect success, but to get started, I attempted to build the code below using gcc compiler.

Error Messages:
gcc qcad-1.cpp
qcad-1.cpp:1:8: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token
1 | include("scripts/EAction.js");
| ^
qcad-1.cpp:3:1: error: ‘function’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘union’?
3 | function ExMyMinimal(guiAction) {
| ^~~~~~~~
| union
qcad-1.cpp:7:1: error: ‘ExMyMinimal’ does not name a type
7 | ExMyMinimal.prototype = new EAction();
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
qcad-1.cpp:9:1: error: ‘ExMyMinimal’ does not name a type
9 | ExMyMinimal.init = function(basePath) {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
End of error messages

Below is the subject CODE: (FROM Link at top of this message)
=========================================================================================
include("scripts/EAction.js");

function ExMyMinimal(guiAction) {
EAction.call(this, guiAction);
}

ExMyMinimal.prototype = new EAction();

ExMyMinimal.init = function(basePath) {
var action = new RGuiAction(qsTr("&Minimal Example"), RMainWindowQt.getMainWindow());
action.setRequiresDocument(true);
action.setScriptFile(basePath + "/ExMyMinimal.js");
action.setGroupSortOrder(100000);
action.setSortOrder(0);
action.setWidgetNames(["ExamplesMenu"]);
};

Any one willing to adventure into this SUBJECT !!
Obviously, not a good START !!

Joseph1916,

Please post script related questions under 'QCAD Programming, Script Programming and Contributing'

What was wrong with your endeavor was that you included the line numbers.
ECMAScript has no line numbering.
True, GitHub will display line numbers and so do some textual tools like for example Notepad++

Please note that this is code for a script (JavaScript), not C++ code. You do not need to compile the script. Simply put it in the scripts directory of your QCAD installation in a folder with the same name as the script.

From the tutorial you were following:

Note that in order for the script to be found, the file name needs to match the class name, i.e. "ExMyMinimal.js" in this case. It also needs to reside inside a directory with the same name "ExMyMinimal", so this script can for example be put into scripts/Misc/ExMyMinimal/ExMyMinimal.js.
