Need help building Veyon for Leap 15.1 and TW

English Open Build Service (OBS)

Hello, I am trying to build Veyon https://veyon.io/.

Veyon is a free and Open Source software for computer monitoring and classroom management supporting Linux and Windows.

I originally found Veyon from Irupp home project but it was drop, so I branched the package and update the source to latest stable version 4.3.0.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:andythe_great:branches:home:lrupp:archive/veyon

From the Github page of Veyon, I need

 Requirements for Debian-based distributions:
 


  - Build tools: g++ make cmake 
  - Qt5: qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qtdeclarative5-dev qtquickcontrols2-5-dev 
  - X11: xorg-dev libxtst-dev libfakekey-dev 
  - libjpeg: libjpeg-dev provided by libjpeg-turbo8-dev or libjpeg62-turbo-dev 
  - zlib: zlib1g-dev 
  - OpenSSL: libssl-dev 
  - PAM: libpam0g-dev 
  - procps: libprocps-dev 
  - LZO: liblzo2-dev 
  - QCA: libqca2-dev libqca-qt5-2-dev 
  - LDAP: libldap2-dev 
  - SASL: libsasl2-dev

Which in the spec file, it seems fine.
One thing that I am not sure is libqca2-dev because I don’t think there is this package in openSUSE. I only found libqca-qt5-devel.

Thanks.

Hi
Looks like it needs git to pull in some of the thirdparty items, or configured to use the system cmake stuff… If you give me a couple of days can branch your current package and look at it.

Thanks for the help !

Hi,

the tarball in the OBS repository contains neither the necessary submodules nor the Git repository:

Using the official release tarball (https://github.com/veyon/veyon/releases/download/v4.3.0/veyon-4.3.0-src.tar.bz2) fixes the configure phase (the build fails later on a Qt-related error).

I also noticed that the project has official RPMs for Leap built using a Docker image - maybe you could extract the spec file from there.

Hi
Yup, or can use a _service with submodules enabled to pull them in, as well as grabbing any of the latest fixes beyond the tarball release…

6

I download the source from its website, seems to contain the unmerged sources, but still have some error.

7

Hi
Yes, need to patch out the -Werror, but there are some QT issues on build. On my todo list for tomorrow :wink:

Hi
Here you go (openSUSE Leap 15.1);
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/749160

It won’t build for Tumbleweed due to this;
https://github.com/veyon/veyon/issues/570

Wow! Thanks for the help. I seems like the only way to fix bug for the dev to switch to QScreen.
I would also submit this package to Education, do I have to wait until TW is fix or I can submit with only working leap?

10

Hi
I would wait until it’s fixed… Did you test the package?

Hello,
Not yet, I’m running on TW, I will try it on leap on VM.
