Hi,

obviously, this is the ball_contrib installation and the Qt5 configuration fails. Qt5 has lots of dependencies in order to be built on Ubuntu (essentially everywhere). Please have a look here for packages needed to build ball_contrib on Ubuntu 16.04

https://abibuilder.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/archive/contrib/os_support/ubuntu_1604/dependencies_ball.sh

This is the script we use to perform build testing.

Best, Philipp

Thanks! But the build step for 'qt5' never stops. It's been 10 mins now.

~/ball_contrib/build$ make
[ 12%] Built target tbb
[ 24%] Built target sip
[ 26%] Performing configure step for 'qt5'
-- qt5 configure command succeeded.  See also /home/ayan/ball_contrib/build/src/qt5-stamp/qt5-configure-*.log

1. Fine
2. Depending on your machine Qt5 can build easily for hours.

You can speed up the ball_contrib Qt build if you do not need Web/HTML support from BALL by using -DSKIP_QTWEBENGINE=TRUE for the cmake configuration run. If you you want to do that now you first have to clean up your build directory and re-run the stuff.

Qt build will be faster then but still takes a lot of time!

Thanks! :)

Perfect!

If you have further questions, may I redirect you to our user mailing list? (This is the issue tracker ; )
