Uploading a QT project - build fails no qmake

[Bratag]

Ok so I have tried several times following the qt building process listed on the wiki etc, however every time I upload my project to the extras-devel it fails to build saying there is no qmake. How exactly are we meant to make QT projects with no qmake on the build server?

Anyone who has put out a Qt project please, little help?

Do you have the sources somewhere or the link to the autobuilder folder, to have a look? It sounds like you forgot libqt4-dev in the build dependencies?

Thanks for the reply. I will give that a shot and failing that working will post the source

cd builddir && qmake PREFIX=/opt ../qtPianobar.pro
/scratchbox/tools/bin/sh: line 1: qmake: command not found
make: *** [builddir/Makefile] Error 127


Same error and yes this time I included the qt-dev in the build deps.

Why does this goddamn process have to be so frigging complicated and such a black hole where we throw stuff into it with no idea of whats going on inside.

Seriously who is in charge of this process and why is there no decent documentation on this kind of thing.

I have read

http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging_a_Qt_application

A dozen times and I cannot find any reference to me having to put anything specific in my source. This is a copy of my control file.

Perhaps you need to put "cd builddir && /opt/qt4-maemo5/bin/qmake PREFIX=/opt ../qtPianobar.pro" in there since you are using Qt 4.6 and that's where qmake is then located (not in PATH variable, so just qmake doesn't work).

You need a different rules file. I have it attached in this thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39962). Replace the debian/rule file with it. Just remember to change the APPNAME. Also edit the debian/compat file so that it says 5.

I hope this helps. :)

My rules was exatly the same as yours apart from the qmake-qt4. Thanks for the post it was most helpfull, another build is submitted and we can only hope it works this time

Well I am at a goddamn loss. I can only assume at this stage something is ****ed on the build server. Since we have no real way of contacting the build server admins (whoever they may be) I have no way to check if that is indeed the case.

Did you try what I suggested? /opt/qt4-maemo5/qmake

Yep - build failed still - but the qmake worked, once I had corrected the typo I had. Thanks very much for your input.

I would however like to go on record as saying NOWHERE in the goddamn docs is that path mentioned.

I am working on a bigger Qt example for packaging with MADDE, to gather a bit together the information, which is out there and to show where to look at. This should make the packaging process hopefully a bit easier. Same will happen for C/C++ applications. But good to see that you got it through the autobuilder.

Hi there.

I have created a project using Qt and MADDE but the compilation failed when using the autobuilder of the extra devel assistant :

TMP="/var/tmp"
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp
# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
/scratchbox/tools/bin/make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/builder1/maemo-fremantle-armel-extras-devel/work/autodisconnect-0.1'
Makefile:53: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/builder1/maemo-fremantle-armel-extras-devel/work/autodisconnect-0.1'
make: *** [clean] Error 2

In have created a separate thread, if you have any solution : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44994

Thanks.

All these problems with uploading freaks me out as a developer. I planned to upload my applications, but it just seems like a lot of work. Also, there is not a good set of tools to develop yet, I will drop developing for now and come back in summer and see whats going on here. Thank you all, it' been fun :)
