Error installing application from source, Qt 4.x not found

English Applications
1 
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1316 (message):
  Found unsuitable Qt version "" from NOTFOUND, this code requires Qt 4.x
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMake/cdat_modules/qt4_pkg.cmake:2 (find_package)
  CMakeLists.txt:563 (include)

The application I am trying to install, UV-CDAT(https://github.com/UV-CDAT/uvcdat) does not implicitly support
openSUSE, which is why I am attempting to install it from source.

I have installed libqt4-devel, and my PATH is pointing towards usr/bin, where qmake and cmake are.

output from the command “qmake -v”:
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in a lib directory of miniconda (a package & environment manager + 3rd party python distribution) ie. not the default openSUSE one. I can see how this may be part of the problem.

Running the qmake -v in usr/bin:
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.6 in /usr/lib64

I have cmake v 3.0.2 (in usr/bin), running on openSUSE 13.2

EDIT: I also found this https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/210, but I am currently using anaconda version 1.0.2.

Hi
This is likely the issue, you would need to check and define all the locations by the sounds of it, eg -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=“/path/to/qmake”

Why using miniconda as opposed to openSUSE devel repository for packages? Or why not use docker for miniconda and/or uvcdat?

Thanks, that did the trick.

I haven’t tried out docker, will check it out.

Hi
For uvcdat they include the docker file (based on ubuntu), just
extract the tarball, cd to the directory and run docker build . to get
started (assuming dicker is installed, running etc…)
