CMake Error at cmake/ThirdPartyForGUI.cmake:1 (find_package)

Hi Author,

I'm on macOS Catalina and followed all instructions, and now trying to install the cmake GUI with the command cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++" .. However, the following error occured:

`Demos-MacBook-Pro:Anime4KCPP-2 demo$ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++" . -- No CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE selected, defaulting to Release

CMake Error at cmake/ThirdPartyForGUI.cmake:1 (find_package): By not providing "FindQt5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5" with any of the following names:

Qt5Config.cmake
qt5-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Qt5" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): GUI/CMakeLists.txt:37 (include)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/Users/demo/Anime4KCPP-2/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". See also "/Users/demo/Anime4KCPP-2/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log". Demos-MacBook-Pro:Anime4KCPP-2 demo$ `

Please let me know if I've missed any steps or if any further information is needed to solve the issue.

Thanks in advance!

You need install Qt5 first and add it to environment variable, see wiki

Hi TianZerL,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

I believe I've installed Qt5 already by verifying with the command brew info qt as illustrated in the following image:

I've also added it to environment variable as illustrated in the following image:

However, as I run the line cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++" . it still gives me the same error as below:

Did I install the Qt5 wrongly or missed any steps? Thanks in advance!

Try

cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++" -DQt5_DIR="/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/cmake/Qt5" ..

You may need to reboot your mac to ensure that the environment variables are in effect. In Linux we can run source ~/.profile to do it, but I am not sure it in macos.
And I think in macos, ~/.profile should be ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc which depends on your terminal, please check it out.

Hi TianZerL,

Thanks again for your prompt reply.

I've just gave it a try with your line of code cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++" -DQt5_DIR="/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/cmake/Qt5" and it successfully compiled without error! (Thanks!!!)

I've then ran make and believe that Anime4KCPP_GUI has been successfully installed (?):

If it is in fact successfully installed, I wonder how am I supposed to open the GUI...... sorry for such a stupid question, I'm a complete newbie to this lol.

Thanks in advance!

[TianZerL]

Your GUI executable file is in the bin folder in your CMake build folder, just double click it to open it.
