I am trying to build lmms-extras,wich uses cmake.
but i get an error right off;

Code:

 CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1664 (MESSAGE):
  Qt qmake not found!
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:38 (FIND_PACKAGE)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

now i have qt4-4.4.2 wich is a requirement,it is installed in /opt/qt4/bin
how do i direct cmake to the qmake directory?
I dont even get the cmake gui?
any help would be appreciated!!!

Rick,

Here's a link to the Cmake documentation.

Regardless of the other configuration options, you need to point cmake to QT4:

Code:

cmake -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/opt/qt4/bin/qmake

Curiously, the above code doesn't show up in cmake's documentation. I know it works, though. Maybe it's in QT's documentation.

Alternately, make a symbolic link to qmake-qt4 say in /usr/local/bin (or anywhere else in your $PATH). Cmake will catch it then.

Good luck.

thanks!i looked at the cmake docs and couldnt find anything either.
then again im not used to using cmake.I usually just find the dependencies,
./configure,make,make install.
i have to confess ive never made a symbolic link?
i'll search around and see if i cant figure it out.
ive only been using slack for 5-6 months so im still new.
but ive learned alot thanks to this forum!
thanks again!!!

Check out this wiki page with a simple guide to the ln command, which makes symbolic links. Symbolic links are like shortcuts.

Something about building lmms (use a build directory !!!)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...highlight=lmms
see #9
# 'ln -s /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake /usr/bin/qmake-qt4'
is the safe choice for some reason.

And this about lmms version
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...highlight=lmms
see #4
