Cannot build antimony on Mint Linux

[B1uemax]

I'm following the build instruction up until cmake -GNinja .. This is the output: CMake Warning at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1626 (message): No header defined for python3; skipping header check Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:28 (find_package) CMake Error at app/CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package): By not providing "FindQt5OpenGL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5OpenGL", but CMake did not find one.

Try to specify CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, e.g. from the Mac example:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.10.1 -GNinja ..

(adjust for your local Qt install path).

[B1uemax]

I tried cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/bluemax/Qt5.12.0/5.12.0/ -GNinja .. CMake Error: The source directory "/home" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI. *** then I performed a search for cmakelist.txt and included some specific folders, but received the same error

[mkeeter]

What directory did you run this in? You need to be in the Antimony build directory when you invoke the command, so that it finds the top-level CMakeLists.txt in the antimony repo folder.

[B1uemax]

This was my latest try: bluemax@bluebox:~/antimony/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/share/qt5 -GNinja .. **CMake Warning at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1626 (message): No header defined for python3; skipping header check Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:28 (find_package) CMake Error at app/CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package): By not providing "FindQt5OpenGL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5OpenGL", but CMake did not find one.

I don't have a Mint system to debug this myself, so you'll need to be more pro-active in hunting this down.

Here are the docs for Qt + CMake.

In order for find_package to be successful, Qt 5 must be found below the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, or the Qt5_DIR must be set in the CMake cache to the location of the Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake file. The easiest way to use CMake is to set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH environment variable to the install prefix of Qt 5.

Is /usr/share/qt5 the "install prefix" of Qt 5?

Another theory: It's not failing to find Qt5Core or Qt5Widgets (here), which makes me suspicious – does your distro have a separate package for Qt5OpenGL?

[thetomorrowman]

I'm having issues also

dh_auto_configure: cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LOCALSTATEDIR=/var returned exit code 1 debian/rules:8: recipe for target 'build' failed make: *** [build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Any thoughts?

[mkeeter]

Can you post the complete log? Are you trying to build the app or make a package?

The build instructions don't mention dh_auto_configure at all, so I'm not sure where that's coming from.

Hi , i tried to follow the build but it wouldn't work so i went down the Debian Package route as follows this seems to repeat a few times before it spits it's dummy out

[mkeeter]

I'm sorry, but I don't maintain the Debian package – those are user-contributed, and may have bit-rotted. If you'd like to follow the build instructions in the README and post a complete log, I can take a look.

it's probably obvious to those in the know........... -- The C compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done -- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.5m.so (found suitable version "3.5.2", minimum required is "3.3") -- Found ZLIB: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so (found version "1.2.8") -- Found PNG: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng.so (found version "1.2.54") -- Found FLEX: /usr/bin/flex (found version "2.6.0") CMake Error at app/CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package): By not providing "FindQt5OpenGL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5OpenGL", but CMake did not find one.

Yup, it looks like this is the exact same problem as above. Please refer to this comment for next debugging steps.

[mbd-shift]

looks like you might want to install qt5opengl5-dev instead. Worked for me on mx linux 19
