Does not build if only qt5 is installed

[FrederikLauber]

Hello,

while this program runs fine on a qt5 only system, building it will fail due to:

I guess replacing lrelease-qt4 with lrelease-qt5 or lrelease would solve this.

Thanks in advance

LRELEASECOMMAND = lrelease-qt4 is commented in the .pri file.

Please try to uncomment it and replace "qt4" with "qt5" and see if it works. In my system I do not need to specify those commands so I am not having this problem.

I think we could update the commands to match qt5 but I think we should leave them commented.

Hi,

as I am building within the Arch Linux AUR system, I could not easily change the code of the package BUT doing (year, horrible hack):

[root@Foo bin]# ln -s lrelease-qt5 lrelease-qt4
[root@Foo bin]# ln -s qcollectiongenerator-qt5 qcollectiongenerator-qt4

made the program build as intended. If you do not depend on a specific version, maybe you could just call lrelease instead of lrelease-qt4 or lrelease-qt5? Same for qcollectiongenerator.

Cheers,

[jfmcarreira]

The config does not depend, but your systems was defaulting to Qt4

[FrederikLauber]

Strange, at least in my case I had not qt4 package installed on my system

[jfmcarreira]

I agree that is strange! I just tested it out and it worked out both in Gentoo and Ubuntu 18.04.

Were you able to build after forcing Qt commands?

[FrederikLauber]

What do you mean wit forcing Qt commands? The aliasing p91 proposed? Yes, that worked.

I ran into a similar error on ubuntu 20.04:

$ make
lrelease -silent ../translations/cs/qtikz_cs.ts -qm locale/qtikz_cs.qm
lrelease: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/lrelease': No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:775: locale/qtikz_cs.qm] Fehler 1

it was solved by installing

sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools

I recommend adding qttools5-dev-tools to the install-dependencies in INSTALL

[jfmcarreira]

Thanks for pointing it out. You built the pkg from source?

[bjuergens]

yes. I followed the instactions from INSTALL for Qt-only.
