Installing QT5.0.1 on linux

SGaist

Hi,

IIRC I've asked you what linux OS you were using but these posts disappeared during the night, could you tell me again what distribution you are using ?

Hi

I am using suse entreprise.

Thanks

SGaist

I thought I saw something about sles, it was "this":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/23709 You may have to check that for your version

aldo

why all my comments were suppressed ? ...

Yes I had post a question on the other topic that you linked.
They told me that they have to use openSUSE on a VM ....
which is not really convincing ...
I'ld like to find an other way to use Qt on suse.

SGaist

They were not suppressed, you should be seeing a red banner on the top of the page explaining what happened.

If you're not tied to SLES, nothing forbids you to use openSUSE

aldo

I am unfortunatly tied to SLES.

SGaist

In that case build Qt5 yourself. One hard core alternative is to build your own libxcb with XInput2 extension using the same other options as Suse and use that one on your system (beware, you might break something)

aldo

for the hard core alternative, I think that I am not good enough to do it without any risk.
to build Qt5 myself what do I have to do ?

SGaist

Grab the Qt sources, ./configure, make, make install (you might need to install some dependencies, have a look at the build documentation)

Hi SGaist,

I am also trying this Qt5.1.0 install on suse entreprise 11 sp2 .While installing and runnig time i am also getting following error
./qtcreator: symbol lookup error: /opt/Qt5.1.0/Tools/QtCreator/bin/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: undefined symbol: XIQueryVersion

I started build Qt-5.1.0 source ,but while running make i am getting following errors

*../../../include/QtCore/5.1.0/QtCore/private/../../../../../src/corelib/kernel/qvariant_p.h:225: error: request for member ‘isNull’ in ‘*0u’, which is of non-class type ‘const bool’ *

SGaist

Did you install all dependencies and what compiler are you using ? How did you configure your Qt build ?

Hi SGaist,

Thanks for your reply,

I have not installed any dependencies ,I dont know which packages needs to be install for Qt on SLES(suse enterprise linux desktop 11sp3).

I have tried directly with Qt-5.1.0 binary (qt-linux-opensource-5.1.0-x86-offline.run) but while running binary i am getting following error

./qtcreator: symbol lookup error: /opt/Qt5.1.0/Tools/QtCreator/bin/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: undefined symbol: XIQueryVersion

In Qt forums Some people faced same probelm they have suggisted install libxcb package.
But my os already has that package (xorg-x11-libxcb-7.4-1.29.1).

For building Qt-5.1.0 i have downloaded source code (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0) and ran follwing steps.
-> ./configure
->make
But while compiling with make i am getting lot of errors.

SGaist

To compile Qt 5 have a look at "this page":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git just check that you have the dependencies listed there in order to build Qt

sreeram

I have tried to install using following command (copied from link which you have posted )but not able to install all packages.This command is for SUSE 12.2 but my operating system is SUSE 11 SP3.

sudo zypper in xorg-x11-libxcb-devel xcb-util-devel xcb-util-image-devel xcb-util-keysyms-devel xcb-util-renderutil-devel xcb-util-wm-devel xorg-x11-devel libxkbcommon-devel

Nothing to do.

Thanks

SGaist

Then I can only say that you have to look for the equivalent packages for SUSE 11

Hi SGaist, Can you tell me, how to fix bug? I used SUSE 11SP3, I was find some package .rpm
eg: xcb-util-devel.i586 rpm and installed it, but it show this package existed.
Please, help me. Thanks
