QT newbie: Problem building Sleepyhead on Ubuntu 18.04.

[fredex]

Hi all!

I'm trying to build SleepyHead (https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/) on Ubuntu 1804. I don't know the first thing about developing with QT, and am having a problem I haven't been able to figure out. I've been going along installing QT modules as I encounter a problem, but can't figure this one out.

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: help
Makefile:44: recipe for target 'sub-sleepyhead-make_first-ordered' failed
make: *** [sub-sleepyhead-make_first-ordered] Error 3

I have qt5help installed, what else do I need to do to get by this?

there is an older binary available for a much older version of Ubuntu, but it doesn't work on this newer one, so I'm trying to build it myself.

All advice will be greatly appreciated, in advance, too! :)

thanks!

Fred

Hi @fredex,

If you want to compile, you need the -dev packages, which contains the needed header and library files.

So for help, thats probably qt5help-dev.

Ah, thanks for the prod. there doesn't seem to be a qt5help-dev package, so grasping at straws I installed the qt5tools-dev, which seems to have done the trick.

thanks!

@fredex glad to hear that! So please mark this topic as SOLVED. Thanks!
