[SOLVED] Installing Qt5

StevenXL · 01-24-2014, 08:27 PM

Hi Everyone.

I am trying to install Qt5, but I get the following error when I run "make ./qt5.SlackBuild":

/qt5.SlackBuild: line 102: /home/steven/tmp/qtreinstall/patches/qt5.mysql.h.diff: No such file or directory

I made sure to make the SlackBuild file executable, and I am have all the files in the same directory.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks!

Looks like the qt5 SlackBuild from Slackbuilds.org.

You don't put everything in the same directory as you can see from the error message the location the patch should be in is easy to see.

Though that wont be the only file in the wrong spot so just fixing that one wont help much.

My suggestion is to download http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...ies/qt5.tar.gz
then decompress that in your working directory and drop the qt5 source package in the same directory as the SlackBuild that way you'll have everything in the right spot.

Mind you that patch is a waste of time but I won't go into details ....

Thank you wildwizard!

What happened was that I used the ftp site and the following command:

wget --passive-ftp ftp://slackbuilds.org/14.1/libraries/qt5/*

Unfortunately, that won't recurse into other directories, so I will now add the -r command.

Thank you!

P.S. It is taking forever for Qt5 to compile. It has been at least 60 minutes. I wonder if I am downloading the internet instead of installing Qt.

LOL

Decompressed it comes to just under 700MB so yes it takes ages to compile.

yeeezus -

I went to dinner hoping it would be done when I came back.....

I looked at the disk usage and it doesn't seem to be filling up my HDD, so I will keep it going - although I might not able to hold out much longer. I have work to do in Excel.

It has finished compiling!!!

Should I be worried about this:

WARNING: zero length file usr/lib64/qt5/imports/QtWebKit/plugins.qmltypes

no, it's just a warning.

Hijack!! (sorry)...Can I do a qt5 'upgrade' on my 14.0 system? Just a plain, simple 'build it' and then 'upgrade qt5*.txz'?

Hijacking a thread is bad ethics. Upgrading Qt4 with Qt5 on Slackware is just plain stupid. What did you think you would gain by it? Lots of Qt4-dependent things will probably stop working. Keep the original Slackware DVD close so that you can revert the upgrade.
Some people have done a lot of effort to make it possible to install Qt5 alongside Qt4 as long as Slackware does not provide Qt5. Just follow that.

Alien Bob - thanks for your input.

I installed Qt5 because I couldn't get ktorrent to work with 'sudo make install'. (It turns out that Qt wasn't the issue, but that's not relevant).

I didn't see Qt (4 or otherwise) installed as part of the default configuration of Slackware 14.1 64.

I looked at this file and didn't find it: http://slackblog.com/slackware/slack...1/PACKAGES.TXT

@ponce,

Thanks! I'm an idiot. 1) I didn't search for qt-4; I search for qt4, and 2) I didn't search at all for ktorrent, and just assumed it wasn't installed...

How do I search for programs so I can avoid this error on my part?

Use slackpkg file-search or the online version at http://packages.slackware.com for slackware packages

@willysr

A huge thank you for this. I didn't know this tool existed. It will make things much easier.
