Building Play for Switch requires Qt5

[fagirton]

Hello! Seems like cmake file for Nintendo Switch version requires Qt5 files to compile

When I try to build it, terminal returns this:

CMake Error at Source/ui_qt/CMakeLists.txt:249 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5" with any of
  the following names:

    Qt5Config.cmake
    qt5-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5_DIR"
  to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Qt5" provides a
  separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Also, I didn't really get what Qt 5 package I should get to compile it, could you explain it in detail?

Can you paste the CMake arguments? Are you following https://github.com/xerpi/play-switch#building-for-nintendo-switch ?

[fagirton]

Yes, I used same commands as in this section.

Maybe that's also because CMake ignored path "../deps/Dependencies/cmake-switch/switch.cmake" and Qt5 was among these dependencies, but I don't know why CMake ignores it

[xerpi]

Did you fetch all submodules? Did you mkdir build and cd build before running CMake?

[fagirton]

Yes, pasted all commands from readme file. Ones to clone submodules and ones to build.

[xerpi]

Can you paste the CMake log?

[fagirton]

Yes, here it is

I think it's a problem of the Windows shell. Can you try with Windows terminal or WSL2?

[fagirton]

Tried using cmd terminal, gives same results. Installing Ubuntu right now to test it in WSL

[fagirton]

Ubuntu gives error a lot funnier:

 cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../deps/Dependencies/cmake-switch/switch.cmake -DBUILD_TESTS:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_AMAZON_S3:BOOL=OFF
CMake Error: The current CMakeCache.txt directory /mnt/h/Console-files/Switch/builds/Play-/build/CMakeCache.txt is different than the directory h:/Console-files/Switch/builds/Play-/build where CMakeCache.txt was created. This may result in binaries being created in the wrong place. If you are not sure, reedit the CMakeCache.txt

[xerpi]

Remove the build directory and create it again.

[fagirton]

Did that, there's new error now:

 cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../deps/Dependencies/cmake-switch/switch.cmake -DBUILD_TESTS:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_AMAZON_S3:BOOL=OFF

[xerpi]

Does ../deps/Dependencies/cmake-switch/switch.cmake exist?
