Unable to build sysadm on freebsd 10.3 or 11

[telefax]

I tried to find a way to contact you for issues, but cannot find any, so I'll try here since I tried to follow the installation guide on https://sysadm.us/handbook/server/basics.html#building-sysadm on Freebsd 10.3 release as well on Freebsd 11 Release.

Both bails out on qmake, this is from freebsd 10.3:

/usr/local/lib/qt5/bin/qmake -recursive /usr/local/lib/qt5/bin/qmake: Command not found.

Is this supposed to run on FreeBSD? on www.sysadm.us you can read

SysAdm™ is a FreeBSD-based service which provides a stable API for administrating FreeBSD and TrueOS systems.

I'm a little bit confused, so much basic information is missing on the web page and in the documentation, also there is no issue tracker except for the documentation here?

Thanks

We are in the middle of consolidating our issues trackers amongst the TrueOS/Lumina repos, sorry about the confusion. All new issues (except for docs) are now supposed to be filed in the trueos-core issue tracker. I'll duplicate this issue in that repo so the appropriate person can look at it.

@telefax You need Qt5 installed on the system before you can use it to build SysAdm - that is one of the base dependencies. Just run pkg install qt5 to install the whole set of Qt5 packages (build tools, modules, etc) and then retry it.

Thank you, that definately made a difference :) Compilation now went without a hitch, but make install gives me this

Not sure why tries to do strip on ascii files, but it works anyway. Maybe this is material for another ticket, along with the rest of the documentation quirks :p

[beanpole135]

That is just one of the quirks about qmake - those "strip" errors are just ignored/warnings because qmake does not understand that not every installed file is a binary - those ones in particular are just text files.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue now. Feel free to open more docs issues in this or the other docs trackers. I've also added a "general info" section to most TrueOS project readmes. These hopefully clear up where to file issues and the general lack of basic info in some of the repositories. Thanks!
