Fails to install on FreeBSD

Fails to install on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p8 with its Qt 5.13.0 pkg.

With some cude workarounds I can get it to run:

user@FreeBSD$ export QT_DIR=/usr/local/lib/qt5/
user@FreeBSD$ /home/user/go/bin/qtsetup test

INFO[0000] running: 'qtsetup test freebsd' [docker=false] [vagrant=false] 
INFO[0000] testing showcases/wallet                     
ERRO[0001] failed to run command                         _func=RunCmd cmd="/usr/local/lib/qt5/5.13.0/gcc_64/bin/rcc -project -o /home/user/go/src/github.com/therecipe/qt/internal/examples/showcases/wallet/assets/rcc.qrc" dir=/home/user/go/src/github.com/therecipe/qt/internal/examples/showcases/wallet/assets/qml env= error="fork/exec /usr/local/lib/qt5/5.13.0/gcc_64/bin/rcc: no such file or directory" name="execute rcc *.qrc on freebsd for freebsd"

Crude workaround:

su
cd /usr/local/lib/qt5/
mkdir 5.13.0
cd 5.13.0/
ln -s ../ gcc_64

Then I ran into:

error="open /usr/local/include/QtCore/qabstractitemmodel.h: no such file or directory"

Crude workaround:

su
cd /usr/local/include
ln -s qt5/Q* .

Then I ran into:

cp: /usr/local/qml: No such file or directory

Crude workaround:

su
cd /usr/local/
ln -s lib/qt5/qml .

Then I ran into:

cp: /usr/local/qml: No such file or directory

Crude workaround:

su
cd /usr/local/
ln -s lib/qt5/plugins .

Now the tests compile (e.g., I can see the calculator and textedit), but the deployment is broken

WARN[0285] couldn't find/home/user/go/src/github.com/therecipe/qt/internal/examples/qml/gallery/deploy/freebsd/lib/libQt5Core.so.5  error="open /home/user/go/src/github.com/therecipe/qt/internal/examples/qml/gallery/deploy/freebsd/lib/libQt5Core.so.5: no such file or directory"

How can the need for the crude workarounds be removed and the deployment be fixed?

Hey

To get this working on FreeBSD you will just need to export QT_PKG_CONFIG=true before running qtsetup/qtdeploy. Maybe take a look here.

But beware, sometimes the package manager's Qt "html-doc" package (which is needed to generate the binding) is quite different from the "official" one the binding is tested against, in that case you will also need to export something like QT_API=5.13.0 before running qtsetup/qtdeploy.

Thank you very much. Do you think this could be added to https://github.com/therecipe/qt#installation? Would have helped me a tremendous lot.

Thanks for the info probonopd. When I did , export GO111MODULE=off; go get -v github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/... && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtsetup test && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtsetup -test=false I just get : INFO[0000] running: 'qtsetup test freebsd' [docker=false] [vagrant=false] INFO[0000] testing widgets/textedit

After performing your workarounds i get however, x: /home/x/go/bin >./qtsetup test INFO[0000] running: 'qtsetup test freebsd' [docker=false] [vagrant=false] INFO[0000] testing widgets/textedit

[devosalain]

Is it possible to copy /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include to a different place and use modifications there in order not to have to reinstall all the packages when you've done some bad things ?

[probonopd]

I think you are looking for zfs snapshots :-)

[devosalain]

Indeed as /usr/local was on a zfs, snapshots would have been a good idea. Currently trying on void linux, it looks promising so far.
