How to build Qt on system without a GUI?

[SGaist]

Hi,

While you don't need a screen to build Qt, you still need the development libraries required for the various features you want to build.

[BrMisha]

@SGaist This configure options i just copied from somewhere)) I need just features like from qt5-default (this one i can install with apt, but only old version) and networking

[SGaist]

You need the libxkbcommon development package.

[BrMisha]

@SGaist But xcb need for windows system. My dev board hasn't windows system))
I need to build only QtCore and QNetwork

This man had like problem. He wrote that built qtbase, bu HOW??? I can't find info about it on network

Like @SGaist said, you need the libraries anyway. Check Qt5 Dependencies page.
Try this maybe?

sudo apt-get install libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev build-dependencies

If not solves, try this,

sudo apt-get install libxcb1 libxcb-util0 libpam-dev libcairo-dev libxcb-xinerama0 libev-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxkbcommon0 libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxcb-dpms0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxkbfile-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-image0-dev

Run the configure script that is located in qtbase.

As for xkbcommon, you can also disable that feature.

libraries
I installed this libs and started make. Now waiting a few hours ))) (it's quit slow)

[SGaist]

This doesn't show where the build failed.

Re-run the build without the -j parameter so you'll see exactly were the error is.

[BrMisha]

@BrMisha said in How to build Qt on system without a GUI?:

I installed this libs

dev package also (which contains header files)?

[BrMisha]

@jsulm yes, libxkbcommon0 libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbcommon-dev are installed

[SGaist]

Did you re-run configure from a clean state ?

[BrMisha]

@SGaist I did re-unzip sources, then did configure))

[SGaist]

Can you check the configure log to see if there's anything related to that ?

[BrMisha]

Log i will saw after do configure?

[SGaist]

They are generated when configure is run. Look into your build folder.

Hello,
I've tried all suggestions found on this topic, but build process still fails: cannot find xkbccommon-compose.h file. Just one remark: trying to install additional packages with the command:
sudo apt-get install libxcb1 libxcb-util0 libpam-dev ...
I should remove just libxbc-util0 (all others were kept) because this package wasn't found.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Hi,

What version of xkbcommon do you have installed ?
