[RESOLU] Installation from sources

CharlieDVP

Hi,

I want install Qt 5.2.2 from sources on my Linux.
I run "./configure" & "make" command and here is the result :

@...
...
Running configuration tests...
The test for linking against libxcb and support libraries failed!
You might need to install dependency packages, or pass -qt-xcb.
See src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README.
[charlie@VmManjaro qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1]$ make
make: *** Pas de cible spécifiée et aucun makefile n a été trouvé. Arrêt.
[charlie@VmManjaro qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1]$
@

I must install a static version in the specific folder. So I run this command :
@./configure -prefix /home/dev/qt -static@

I test with this command :
@./configure -prefix /home/dev/qt -static -qt-xcb@

but the result of make command is the same.

Note : libxcb is installed

Have you an idea to resolve my problem

In advance thank you

Do you have all dependencies satisfied as it is described in "Building Qt 5 from Git":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git ?

Hi,

Indeed, some libraries were missing. I corrected this and here is the new error message:

@WARNING: Using static linking will disable the use of dynamically
loaded plugins. Make sure to import all needed static plugins,
or compile needed modules into the library.

Could not find qmake configuration file linux-g++.
Error processing project file: /home/charlie/Téléchargements/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qt.pro

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into /home/dev/qt

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

Hi,

What are the configure options you used ?

CharlieDVP

Hello,

I use this command :
@./configure -prefix /home/dev/qt -static@

I have already installed qt like this on a 64 bit machine (Manjaro KDE).
Here I try to do it on a 32 bit virtual machine (Manjaro KDE).

SGaist

Did you cleaned up before calling configure again ?

CharlieDVP

Yes, if finally delete all files and start over from the beginning enough ;)

SGaist

So did your build succeed ?

CharlieDVP

unfortunately not

SGaist

same error ?

CharlieDVP

Hello,

Yes, same error.

Try the following: uncompress your sources in a path without special char like é (e.g. /home/charlie/Qt/) and restart the configuration process

CharlieDVP

well, well, well ...

My problem came well there.
On my host I have taken care to translate all my files in English, but not on the guest ... :(.... rrrr "the French touch" ;)

Thank you very much for your help.

SGaist

Also sounds like there's a bug somewhere if the script fails for because there's an é in the path

You're welcome !

Now that you have it working, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
