Compiling Mythtv 29 on Ubuntu 18.04 Error

[PaulR]

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post any help is appreciated.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04 desktop fresh install
MythTV: 29

This is my first go at compiling mythtv instead of taking the repo. To be honest I tried the repo and well ran into gksu issues as that has been deprecated. So I figured I give compiling a go. I have followed the instructions on the wiki and made sure the dependencies have been met. I'm using the default configure command (./configure) followed by the make command. But the make fails with this error. Which appears that qt5 is not installed, but it is installed. Where is mythtv expecting these files to be located? I had to remove the dot from libmythbase-29(dot)so.29.0.0 because it was being flagged as a url and since I'm new I can't post urls.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQt5Widgets
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQt5Gui
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQt5Network
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQt5Core

thank you again for your time and help.

Could be how Qt5 is installed. Try adding the: --qmake=qmake-qt5 switch
to ./configure.

I'm assuming you used ansible to make sure you've got all
the required packages.

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Build_from_ ... th_Ansible

Here's a very old note of mine:

Code: Select all

Sun Mar 2, 2015

    Use:
        sudo apt-get install qt5-default
    Or:
        cd /usr/bin
        sudo ln -s ../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake qmake5
        add the configure switch: --qmake=qmake5

    And:
        sudo apt-get install libqt5script5 libqt5scripttools5 qtscript5-dev
        sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev
        sudo apt-get install libqt5sql5-mysql

[PaulR]

Thanks for your response.

I have tried the following.

I reran ansible and configure

I followed the other suggestions too, created the link and then clear the git build (git clean -xfd) and then ran the configure again.

Code: Select all

./configure -qmake=qmake-qt5 

make -j 5

Code: Select all

/local/lib -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Gui -lQt5Xml -lQt5Sql -lQt5Network -lQt5Core -lpthread -lGL

Is there a make log? I didn't see one in /var/log.

[bill6502]

The make output you pasted above is the only thing I'm aware of.

Here's what I get from dpkg and locate on Ubuntu 18.04:

[PaulR]

I took a look over the weekend, compared your post to mine and while I have more entries I see that I have entries that are the same as yours. any more thoughts? is there a switch that will give me more verbose logging?

[bill6502]

I would suggest the full output from the configure command line
until the error (put in a pastebin, with a link to it here.)

[PaulR]

I ran both configure and make commands. Here is the output. There wasn't an error during the config command, only error I ofund was with the make.

Here is the paste bin.

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kWQWj6vpvK/

Thanks again for your help.

[bill6502]

Hmmm, I'm approaching stumped. My qmake line is identical to yours:
qmake /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake

Looks like the 1st error is: Makefile:231: recipe for target 'libmythfreemheg-29.so.29.0.0' failed

I don't see a specific permissions error, but check with:
find . ! -user $USER -ls (to see if something can't be
overwritten.)

I'd do a: make distclean (the git clean you did earlier is something
I use too, but not often.)

Then: ccache --clear

Followed by the configure and make

Side Note:
Im on Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS and have been running MythTv from maintainers and it seems to be working great (hope I am not missing anything):
Package: mythtv
Version: 2:29.1+fixes.20180414.329c235-0ubuntu3
Priority: optional
Section: multiverse/graphics
Origin: Ubuntu

I admire your courage in compiling and I wish you the best. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

I gave this a go and I don't see any access issues and I still get the same error. I may try and start completely over and reinstall the OS.

I don't know enough about the maintainers and how to set them up to give them a go. I'll read up on that.

[busbee]

I think I did a simple:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mythtv

pre-compiled

[PaulR]

Ahh, I thought/was thinking containers (docker). busbee, this was what I tried first and the backend won't/wouldn't start I get the same LibQT5 error and mythconverg.settings db not found errors.

Now I have tried to trouble shoot these but could not get it to work which is why I went with compiling my own. I used to run mythbuntu but since they are going away I wanted to set it up on my own. I have another machine here I can use as a dev machine. I'll start with a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 and document everything step to get it working then rebuild my main machine.

[PaulR]

Just wanted to give an update.

Using another system, I did the following.

Code: Select all

ubuntu 18.04 desktop minimal install
install ssh

'connect from another system because I don't have enough desk space.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/MythTV/ansible
apt-get install ansible
cd ansible
ansible-playbook -i hosts qt5.yml
cd ..
mkdir ~/build 
cd ~/build
git clone https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv.git mythtv
cd mythtv
git branch -a
git checkout fixes/29
git clean -xfd
cd mythtv
./configure
make -j 5
sudo make install

'on the dev system, open a terminal and run

/usr/bin/mythtv-setup

This time compiling worked and I got mythtv compiled and installed.

I ran the mythtv-setup and couldn't connect to the database. I haven't looked into that but it seems to be just a user name and password issue. I am going to keep track of all commands run and config changes to complete this post. Once everything is 100% successful I will rebuild my current system. I'd like to know what happed on the old system but I don't think I'll ever know. I still have to install mythweb and get that configured. so far so good.

[bill6502]

FYI, there was a recent mailing list thread and the user kept track of his commands here:
