Repo problem: can't find requiered development tools packages to be able to succesfully build.

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi!
I was trying to build https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict from the source, since the newest version seems to have some minor bugs removed.

I didn’t try to install the required packages before trying to build the program itself, as the instructions are for Ubuntu.

I tried running qmake-qt4, the command was not found.
Then I tried running qmake, the output is that there is no g++ compiler.
I looked it up on the internet, the advice I found is to install essential development tools. For OpenSuse it seems to need sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis command. I run it and here is what I got:

Problem: pattern:devel_basis-20170319-lp150.2.6.x86_64 requires patterns-devel-base-devel_basis, but this requirement cannot be provided
  not installable providers: patterns-devel-base-devel_basis-20170319-lp150.2.6.x86_64[repo-oss]
 Solution 1: downgrade of libncurses6-6.1-lp150.4.3.1.x86_64 to libncurses6-6.1-lp150.3.14.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install pattern:devel_basis-20170319-lp150.2.6.x86_64
 Solution 3: break pattern:devel_basis-20170319-lp150.2.6.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

How come there is no the package in the repos I have?

I found the missing package here: https://opensuse.pkgs.org/15.0/opensuse-oss/patterns-devel-base-devel_basis-20170319-lp150.2.6.x86_64.rpm.html
As you can see, I have opensuse 15.0 oss repo
How should I install the development tools?

Hi
Hard to say since you have other repositories active that may lead to the ncurses issue (as well as no checking of packages active)…

Install the Leap 15.0 version from the development repository on OBS?
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Education/goldendict

Ok I turned on some disabled repos and it worked! Now I was able to use qmake.
Although I am still not able to properly build Goldendict.

Should I ask somewhere else for help?

Hi
I suspect libvorbis-devel is not installed… Have a look at the spec file in the link I gave you, it has all the BuildRequires listed.

I started installing all the packages it requires to compile. Some of them were installed smoothly, for some of those I had to change vendor.
I got stuck on error Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets. I list all the steps I’ve undergone below:

Hi
Did you look at the spec file reference? Zypper is reasonably smart for installing :wink:


zypper in pkgconfig\(Qt5WebKitWidgets\) pkgconfig\(libavformat\)

or

zypper in "pkgconfig(Qt5WebKitWidgets)" "pkgconfig(libavformat)"

Same procedure as always:

You may continue until done. Beware of vendor conflicts!

As I expected, my I couldn’t playback videos after switching the vendors for video packages, as I showed above. I returned my original ones from packman repository


sudo zypper install --allow-vendor-change ffmpeg lame gstreamer-plugins-bad  gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-orig-addon  gstreamer-plugins-libav libavdevice56 libavdevice58 libdvdcss2  vlc-codecs
