qt 5.10.1 configuration error

[ynikitenko]

I run kiwix-build --target-platform native_static kiwix-desktop. During qt build there appears an error:

It seems that qt functions statx and renameat2 conflict with system functions. Probably this is not so much an issue of kiwix-build, but what should be done about that? A better version of the qt package? Some manual fixes? (I'm using Fedora Core 29).

[ynikitenko]

I found that the error is pretty same as in https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-build/issues/260#issuecomment-436046733.

[stale[bot]]

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be now be reviewed manually. Thank you for your contributions.

[mgautierfr]

The Qt compilation is mostly broken. We should remove it and use a pre-compiled version (system packages).

[kelson42]

@ynikitenko Do you still experience this problem with latest vetsions of kiwix-desktop?

[ynikitenko]

I don't know. I'm using kiwix-desktop from the "community" Arch Linux repository, so it should be rather up-to-date. I have a problem with the search bar, https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues/499, so I'm not going to make a new manual installation. I use Kiwix 0.9 most often, it functions flawlessly for me (but I also use the more recent version for newer ZIM files, when I really want to check them). I think if it works for other people, you can close this issue (hope things have improved since then, and also it can be installed by its maintainers on Arch).

[kelson42]

@ynikitenko Glad to hear the result of your last attempt... otherwise I will close at some point in the future.

[ynikitenko]

Fine, I'm trying to install it. I have several notes.

$ kiwix-build kiwix-desktop ERROR: The target platform native_dyn cannot be build on host arch. Select another target platform or change your host system. [INSTALL PACKAGES] SKIP, No package to install.

• I think that if there is an error, then the installation should immediately stop! Or it must be a "warning", if it is not critical.
• I already have some qt installed on my system. It's not needed (or at least unexpected for me) that it has to download it anew.

[kelson42]

So the error reported first has vanished?

[ynikitenko]

I didn't know at that time, because it was downloading qt, and then it was building it. Oh, yes, here is the error:

So now it is a different error. Maybe one can say that the old error has disappeared, but I'm not sure.

[ynikitenko]

I didn't use virtualenv (hope it doesn't influence the results), but otherwise I ran commands from https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-build.

[kelson42]

@mgautierfr Honestly I'm a bit puzzled how to deal with this issue. Do you?
