Problem

Unable to build / compile with provided instructions https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-app/wiki/1.-Building-Fritzing. After a lot of tries, adding libraries everywhere (for some libraries if you don't put it in fritzing-app/src/ it won't detect it), when trying to compile with qtcreator / qt6, I got stuck here:

error: cannot find -lquazip1-qt6: No such file or directory
error: cannot find -lpolyclipping: No such file or directory
error: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: [Makefile.Debug:1218: Fritzing] Error 1

I used a test computer with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy jellyfish) For clipping I tried https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-app/issues/4104 but doesn't solve it.

Proposed Solution

• Upgrade building documentation by trying it from a new computer (or virtual machine or container) from scratch so nothing could be missed?
• Enhance error messages and libraries detection: For example the last boost version is currently 1_85_0 and boostdetect only want 1_81_0 version without telling it, while the documentation ask to download last one.

Honestly, I also had the same issue while trying to update the build file for Flatpak. A working build file detailing the necessary dependencies is available at https://github.com/kuflierl/Flatpak-org.fritzing.Fritzing/blob/main/org.fritzing.Fritzing.json Cheers mate
