[SOLVED] gcc not recognized in QT after installation
-
@SGaist
my voodoo capabilities did not succeed
here is the result:
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
E: Paket build-essential kann nicht gefunden werden.translation:
the package build-essential can not be found -
Was ? Oo
That's something pretty strange then…
You can find it listed here
Do you have a special install of Ubuntu Trusty ?
In any case, you can also just call
sudo apt-get install g++but still it's puzzling@SGaist
Now the compiler g++ is installed and working!
Third hooray!But the first testproject build stops with the issue:
cannot find -lGL -
That one has been covered many times in this forum: you are missing the OpenGL dev library
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev -

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev@SGaist
It is the same result as above

E: Paket libgl1-mesa-dev kann nicht gefunden werden.I dont know if it has to do wih my Ubuntu 14.04LTS, i downloaded the official iso and made a dvd from it to install on my Lenovo PC
so it should be a normal installation?!And a more general question: isn't there a more complete package for qt-installation? I mean this is really the hard way to get one error fixed after the other. One surprise follows the next.
I mean without your help i wouldn't be able to get anything done within weeks?! -

No, there no more complete packages available.
You are struggling with the different components of your linux distro. They may be depend on each distro and have licenses. This cannot be easily distributed within one package. Unfortunately, it is the same as with windows. -
One thing you can do that might help is to install the dev packages of Qt from Ubuntu's repository but at this point there seems to be strange things going on. Not finding build-essential is really not normal, what sources does apt use to retrieve the packages ?

this is what the terminal shows:

What does apt-cache search build-essential return ?
-
Also, what do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

@SGaist
What does apt-cache search build-essential return ?It returns nothing.
and this is the content of /etc/apt/sources.list:

Silly question but did you run
apt-get updateafter you installed your system ? -
Now that i have tried everything mentioned another idea came to my mind:
Could it be possible it is my IP which is disliked by ubuntu? therefor only offering certain packages, excluding dev?
(moderation comment: we don't think there is a global conspiracy on Ubuntu packages, and looks like the problem was solved below)

I see that you don't have any official repositories available. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu to add them. (At the very least, you need the "Main" repository. I also suggest adding "Universe" and "Restricted" to make Ubuntu nicer to useable.)
Then, try downloading the packages again.

I've been using Ubuntu as a secondary computer for many years now. All this while, the only things I've needed to do to develop with Qt on Ubuntu are:
- Install Ubuntu
- Install g++
- Install OpenGL development libraries (Mesa)
- Install Qt
You're having difficulties because your machine has been misconfigured somewhere. (Usually,some repositories are enabled by default as soon as you install Ubuntu.)
Maybe this is kind of a location-based-service, meaning, well...
In my neighborhood there are living a lot of people from all over the world, including many muslims.
Could it be possible it is my IP which is disliked by ubuntu? therefor only offering certain packages, excluding dev?Given that Canonical wants Ubuntu to spread all over the world, I'd be very surprised if they did this. However, you could ask at https://askubuntu.com to verify.
Anyway, I don't see how Muslims are related to your issue.

@JKSH
thanks to your little install guide now everything works fine!all i had to do was remove the whole ubuntu installation and restart from scratch.
Surprisingly the repositories were all set up correctly by default, maybe it was because i have chosen the default US-english installation instead of the german one ..^^
I would even be willing to add SOLVED to the title of the thread
if only i knew how to? -
