Stellarium 1.1 fails to build on Arch Linux

[papavlos]

After cloning from (https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium.git) and running

$ mkdir -p build/unix
$ cd build/unix
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/stellarium ../.. 

I'm getting CMake error. Full output:

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

Please help: is it Arch distro, or CMake configuration fault?

You need Qt development packages installed. In Arch it should be qt5-base or qt6-base.

[papavlos]

Both were installed long time ago, of course. And it is not only my problem: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stellarium

@papavlos QXlsx has been built with Qt5, but you tried re-use it with Qt6 environment - why? See section Dependencie in AUR - where’s qt6-base?

[papavlos]

A good soul at AUR has already prepared a "bin" version of Stellarium in its current version, so I'm migrating to it.

Thanks for your support. Case closed for me.
