Installation instructions aren't quite complete. #63

Closed speedbug78 closed 3 years ago

speedbug78 commented 4 years ago

Built the code on a fresh install of LinuxCNC (Debian 9.0).

At this step: sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev cmake I also needed to install openssl. cmake .. && sudo make install would still never build due to an inability to find the proper path to openssl. At this point I installed libssl-dev (sudo apt install libssl-dev) and that allowed libssh to build.

Run ./autogen.sh didn't work and it's error message was cryptic (Project ERROR: libssh development package not found). Turns out pkg-config was missing.

sudo apt install pkg-config

Now it builds, but doesn't run: ./qjournalctl: error while loading shared libraries: libssh.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Copying libssh.so libssh.so.4 and libssh.so.4.8.4 into the same directory as qjournalctl didn't solve anything.

Copying libssh.so, libssh.so.4 and libssh.so.4.8.4 to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ finally solved this issue and now qjournalctl runs. Yay.

When building a package for Gentoo, I skipped the autogen.sh script completely and just ran qmake work it's magic in the root directory, no issues with finding anything nor compiling.

Hi @speedbug78

Thanks for reporting this! Sorry for my late answer, I found very little time to work on other projects in the last months and it seems I completely missed this issue. :grimacing:

Indeed the build instructions differed from what I could test in the CI, due to different (old) versions of Qt and libssh and you were the first one to notice.

I added libssl-dev, pkg-config as well as zlib1g-dev which seems to be required to build libssh later on. Building it (still) works and I hope you saved someone else some trouble! I can't really reproduce and comprehend the missing .so error, maybe the libssh installation went wrong or this is a LinuxCNC-specific issue?

I'm happy you got it fixed and it works for you now, so thank you again for reporting :)

The issue closed with my changes being merged to master, should you encounter other build or runtime errors, feel free to reopen the issue at any time!

@henrikp And thank you for checking on this! Glad it works for you, too!
