qmake version in readme about dtkcore

[aiamuzz]

hmmmm ... @gaoyaoxin ... i am having trouble installing this package ...

my environment ...

QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

as you've quoted above that you were able to install it succesfully under the environment you've mentioned.

i set out to setup a qmake environment similar to yours.

I have the QtCreator and QtCreator(community) both installed on my system ...

while probing i discovered that qt5-qmake package wasn't to be found so i installed the same ...

sudo apt-get install qt5-qmake

though qt4 and qt5 seem to be installed on my system ... i somehow couldn't run this command to configure the version of my choice ...

$  sudo update-alternatives --config qmake
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for qmake

so i starting digging deeper ... and did the following ... probably its a manual way to change the version ... or may be not ...

delete the existing sym link ...

sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt-default/qtchooser/default.conf

then i created new symlink to the version of my choice ... by running the following ...

sudo ln -s /usr/share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt-default/qtchooser/default.conf

now qmake --version gives an environment that's pretty close to yours.

$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.6.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

after this i try to build and install this package ... i get the following error ...

$ qmake ..
$ make
cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /media/muz/srcRepo/linux/deepin/tools/dtkcore-master/src/src.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile 
Project ERROR: gsettings-qt development package not found
Makefile:44: recipe for target 'sub-src-make_first-ordered' failed
make: *** [sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 3

hmmmmm ... back to square one ... not able to install dtkcore

[aiamuzz]

please note that the default qt environment ... gives the following error while installing ...

$ qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

error making package ... issue: #4

@aiamuzz
Possibly there is non-compatibility issue within qt4 and qt5 versions or with default setting concerning qt version.
The distribution I use is deepin 15.5.
Please note that dtkcore is probably originally built for and tested on deepin distributions.

[aiamuzz]

@gaoyaoxin ...

Even i am using Deepin 15.5 ... the lastest one ... i am surprised how come your default of qmake version is different to mine ?

Yours seems to be Version 3.0 and mine turns out to be Version 2.01a !!!

wondering how would get the dtkcore up and running on my system ... hmmmm ...

[gaoyaoxin]

@aiamuzz
I updated the system from deepin 15.4 to 15.5 unstable and then 15.5.
Possibly you may try
sudo apt-get update
or something like that.
It's a really confusing issue.

[aiamuzz]

@gaoyaoxin ...

even I updated the system from deepin 15.4 to 15.5 unstable and then 15.5.

[aiamuzz]

Seems the requirement is ...

**Build dependencies
qmake >= 5.3**

and my system is ...

$ qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

in spite of coming through deepin 15.4 to 15.5 Beta and then 15.5 release ...

When all deepin packages require qmake >= 5.3** then WHY is the OS running qmake version 2.01a ... could this be an update bug ?

would like a little help getting the necessary versions and successfully setting up 'dtk' on my system for academic purposes ...

[gaoyaoxin]

@aiamuzz
Pls try:

sudo apt-get update qmake

This may help!

[aiamuzz]

nope ... the update command takes no arguments ... !!!

[gaoyaoxin]

sudo apt-get update qt5-qmake

How about this? Currently I am not using deepin ...

[aiamuzz]

nope ... the update command takes no arguments ...

[gaoyaoxin]

https://github.com/linuxdeepin/dtkcore/blob/master/debian/control
Above is the dependencies.
Possibly try all this by:

sudo apt-get install debhelper pkg-config qttools5-dev-tools qtbase5-private-dev libgsettings-qt-dev

would help.

[aiamuzz]

ok ... i installed ...

sudo apt-get install debhelper pkg-config qttools5-dev-tools qtbase5-private-dev libgsettings-qt-dev

and then tried building dtkcore by running the following ...

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..
make
sudo make install

how do i check if i've installed it correctly and completely ... can i check the version of dtkcore installed ?

[gaoyaoxin]

If it is possibly to complete all the commands above without ERRORs, then dtkcore is supposed to be installed correctly.
Possibly run dtkcore for version info? I am not sure.

[aiamuzz]

i think there were no errors ...

After running those ... i tried building dtkwidget package ... but its not building ...

$ make
cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /media/muz/srcRepo/linux/deepin/tools/dtkwidget-master/src/src.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile 
Project ERROR: librsvg-2.0 development package not found
Makefile:44: recipe for target 'sub-src-make_first-ordered' failed
make: *** [sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 3

is it any indication of the dtkcore being installed properly or a lack thereof ?

[gaoyaoxin]

Wiki for this repo is not found however helps could be got as suggested at https://github.com/linuxdeepin/dtkcore#getting-help
Please note that there is an area for English in the forum so it may help https://bbs.deepin.org/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=70

[gaoyaoxin]

dtkwidget depends on others to be installed
See its depends at https://github.com/linuxdeepin/dtkwidget/blob/master/debian/control in line 5 to 11

[aiamuzz]

ok ... after a fellow githubian pointed me to the required dependencies in the file 'control' (debian folder)

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libudev-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libxext-dev qttools5-dev-tools x11proto-xext-dev libxcb-util0-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libmtdev-dev qtbase5-private-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libxrender-dev libdtkcore-dev libgsettings-qt-dev librsvg2-dev libdframeworkdbus-dev libqt5svg5-dev
i was able to get past the above error ...
