Troubles installing QtWayland

papaj

That is my first contact with Qt; I don't know what I do wrong - I executed the following commands (from this guide https://wiki.qt.io/QtWayland) to install qtwayland:

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtwayland.git
cd qtwayland
qmake CONFIG+=wayland-compositor
qmake
make
make install

yet I got the same error for both make and make install:

$ sudo make install
cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/src/src.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/src'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/src'
cd examples/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/examples/examples.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/examples'
cd wayland/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/examples/wayland/wayland.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile install
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/examples/wayland'
Some of the required modules (qtHaveModule(waylandcompositor) qtConfig(opengl)) are not available.
Skipped.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/examples/wayland'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/misiak/wayland/qtwayland/examples'

I deleted everything regarding the examples folder from makefile, but then I got

~/qtwayland $ sudo make install
cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /home/misiak/qtwayland/src/src.pro CONFIG+=wayland-compositor -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/misiak/qtwayland/src'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/misiak/qtwayland/src'

And nothing happens ¯_(ツ)_/¯
My distribution is Linux Mint 18.1 I have been using linux only for a week, so I ask for explanations as if they were written for a dummy ;)

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you install the dependencies like wayland itself ?

papaj

Yes, I done that. I can run Weston.

SGaist

Sorry, I meant the development dependencies.

papaj

@SGaist That might be the reason. Could you list what I should have installed? I am 100% sure that I have everything from there: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWayland

SGaist

Just realised something: against which version of Qt are you building the module ?

papaj

@SGaist I have both 4 and 5.8. I have set 5.8 as default by

sudo apt-get install qt5-default

SGaist

Did you also check that you have all the Qt development package installed ?

papaj

I have got every Qt dev package :(. I think the problem is with the git I have cloned. This it the output from sudo make


sudo make
cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /home/misiaczek/qtwayland/src/src.pro CONFIG+=wayland-compositor -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile

It seems like /src is omitted, am I right? It should compile everything, shouldn't it?

SGaist

What distribution are you using ?

papaj

Mint 18.1, I tried on Ubuntu 16.04 with the same results.
Both 64bit

SGaist

Which version of Qt is installed on your system ?

You likely have the 5.9 version of the QtWayland module while your distribution version if older.

papaj

I have Qt 5.8

SGaist

Also for the qtwayland module ?

papaj

@SGaist I have cloned branch 5.8 yet got the same error :c

SGaist

I think there's some stuff mixed up here.

From your last compilation log, it looks like you are using your distribution qmake, is that correct ?

papaj

K. I made a clear installation of mint.
Installed qt open source from the webpage and ran the following commands:

sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtwayland.git --branch 5.8 --single-branch
cd qtwayland
qmake CONFIG+=wayland-compositor
qmake
sudo make

got this again:

SGaist

What is the version of Qt that is installed on your machine ?

papaj

5.8 as earlier
