Building common (tried on UbuntuStudio and on Fedora)
Hello,
I cannot build neither on Ubuntu-Studio nor on Fedora.
I have installed the latest Version of Qt (5.8) right before I tried to build.
Configure tells me:
...
checking for qmake-qt5... no
checking for qmake... /usr/bin/qmake
checking for Qt major version... qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
... and right - there is no qmake in this folder. in THIS folder is one executable qdbus
In /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/ is qtwaylandscanner
I tried even:
./configure --prefix=/opt --with-qt5=/opt/Qt/5.8
with the same result.
further on:
configure: error: qmake-qt5 not found in current PATH. Maybe QT development environment isn't available. (qt5-devel)
/home/frank/Downloads/qtractor-0.8.0# apt-get install qt5-devel
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package qt5-devel
Any hint?
(The output from above comes from Ubuntu-Studio)
re. Building common (tried on UbuntuStudio and on Fedora)
can't tell it for sure, but try installing qtchooser and setting the QT_SELECT environment variable accordingly:
export QT_SELECT=5but wait, you're using a non-distro packaged Qt5 installation, right? probably you got it directly from http://qt.io and, i suppose, it's installed under
/opt/Qt/5.8. now, i guess, you can try the build again, just make sure you get the configure option right "--with-qt5=/opt/Qt/5.8" might not be enough! as far as i can tell, it should be more explicit on the compiler platform you're into, like "--with-qt5=/opt/Qt/5.8/gcc_64"... could it be the case?however, if you have another Qt5 installation around, possibly the official distro-supplied one, then you'll probbably need to make up with a new custom symlink for
qmake-qt5so that./configure --with-qt5=/opt/Qt/5.8/gcc_64will get the right configuration. please, do only this if you're sure there's yet another Qt5 installation out there:cd /opt/Qt/5.8/gcc_64/binsudo ln -s qmake qmake-qt5
hth.
cheers
re. Building common (tried on UbuntuStudio and on Fedora)
Hi and thanks a lot. That was it.
/usr/bin/qmake is a link to qtchooser anyway.
Now I hit another problem: configure succeeds but reports no support for LV2. I use LV2 plugins heavily in Ardour.
I installed the lv2-dev package and re-ran configure.
Everything related to LV2 support is reported as no.
configure --help says that for all this stuff default is yes.
Some thought?
re. Building common (tried on UbuntuStudio and on Fedora) SOLVED
Replying to myself.
It seems Ubuntu-Studio is not best equipped for building. ...and not equipped with recent versions of the software (that for I am doing the builds ;)
Installing all *-dev packages solved the problem.
Thanks for your time
QT-5 not available
configure: error: qmake-qt5 not found in current PATH
I have no idea what to do nor what you guys are talking about, I'm new to linux and i have this problem.
re. QT-5 not available
what distro? have you tried to install all the build requirements?
if on a debian/ubuntu based distro, try this before you start building from source:
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools libqt5x11extras5-devand probably all the rest, unrelated to Qt5 per se:
sudo apt-get install libjack-dev libasound2-dev libsndfile-dev ladspa-sdk libvorbis-devsudo apt-get install libsamplerate-dev librubberband-dev dssi-dev liblo0-devsudo apt-get install liblilv-dev libsratom-dev libsord-dev libserd-dev libsuil-dev lv2-devhowever, if you don't know what all this' about you better go along withkxstudio and forget all the talking ;)
hth.
cheers

I have just installed those libs and the problem continues, yes I am using ubuntu. Thanks for the attention.
I actually didn't install all
I actually didn't install all of the build requirements yet, i'll do it asap and come back here.
Turns out qt5 isn't free and
Turns out qt5 isn't free and takes 1.4GB of disk space, is that right? Is there something i'm not getting? I thought this was a more accessible program.
Re. Turns out qt5 isn't free and...
You probably have been wrong and ill advised.
Qt5 is perfectly open-source as its LGPL may go, which is a lot beyond most "freedoms" you may find on the whole out there.
Cheers
