Hi, Skyscraper is complaining about missing QCommandLineParser. I don't use OpenSUSE so I'm not of much help with this. Basically you are missing pieces of Qt5 in your system and you need to figure out how to install those. Then Skyscraper will compile as expected.

Yah, I know that's what it's complaining about. Just has me confused as libqt5core5 is opensuses's version of qt core, which from what I found contains that library. I'll have to do some checking.

So here is a list of all of the qt packages that I have installed. Is there a particular package that is needed by Skyscraper that is missing?

QCommandLineParser is part of the Qt5 core library. It needs at least Qt 5.2 to be available (that's where QCommandLineParser was introduced). If you have that I don't know why it won't find it on OpenSUSE. Sorry.

[klandrith]

Ok, so I found the problem, but still need a little help. Apparently, QCommandLineParser, and QCommandLineOptions are not stored in /usr/include//QtCore/ like your files assume, but is stored in /usr/include/qt5/QtCore. I tried manually changing that in the auto-generated Makefile, but then I get the following errors.

kyle  openSUSEDesktop  ../skyscraper-3.7.1  make

g++ -c -pipe -std=c++11 -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DVERSION=\"\" -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/default -I. -I/usr/include/qt5/QtCore -I/usr/include/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/QtGui -I/usr/include/QtXml -I/usr/include -I. -I. -o main.o src/main.cpp In file included from /usr/include/qt5/QtCore/QtGlobal:1, from src/main.cpp:26: /usr/include/qt5/QtCore/qglobal.h:67:10: fatal error: QtCore/qtcore-config.h: No such file or directory 67 | #include <QtCore/qtcore-config.h> | ^~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:620: main.o] Error 1

I think that I'm going to spin up a virtual machine and build an AppImage on an Ubuntu VM of your latest release just to side step all this file path nonsense.

It's really odd that an OpenSUSE Qt5 installation doesn't have the files in the location qmake generates the makefile for. There's nothing in my files that tells the system to look for the files a specific place. That's all done by qmake.

An AppImage should work.

[klandrith]

Well, I have qmake installed via a community package as I couldn't find it in the distro repos, which seems odd. That may be the problem there. I'm new to openSUSE, so I'll have to look into that matter. In the meantime I'll try my hand at building an AppImage. If I do, I'll shoot you a link to it on a GitHub repo for linking if you'd like. If I get it working without an AppImage, I'll also post the openSUSE install instructions here for reference.

Thanks again for all your help and an awesome piece of software.

OK, so I got everything to compile and install. Here's the low down...

I had thought that I had qmake installed via a community package, which I had originally, but I uninstalled that and installed it via the openSUSE repos via the package libqt4-devel, which is the package that cnf qmake returns. However, this defaults qmake to the qt4 version. To get qmake that is made for qt5, one needs to install libqt5-qtbase-common-devel, which can be installed via sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_qt5, along with the rest of the needed development files via sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis.

Then, in order to to get Skyscraper to compile with the proper qt version, one can either change the QTDIR environmental variable, or do as I did and simply edit the update_skyscraper.sh script and replace the qmake command with /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 and voila it compiles just fine.

So, to summarize...to install Skyscraper on openSUSE:

sudo zypper install libqt4-devel sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_qt5

Change qmake command in update_skyscraper.sh script to /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 or update QTDIR environmental variable to point to qt5.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Thank you for the information. It's good to have it here for others to see.
