Title: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 08:57:28 AM: Hello, friends. Please, I'm trying to compile latest git version of notepadqq on my Pure64 11.0 laptop. The source code is available here:
https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq

I can get this far:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -wi compiletc qt-5.x-dev uchardet-dev $ export QTMAKESPEC=/usr/local/lib/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ $ configure --prefix=/usr/local $ make ...

Generated 448 translation(s) (448 finished and 0 unfinished) Project ERROR: Could not find feature thread. make: *** [Makefile:48: sub-src-ui-make_first] Error 3How do I solve "Project ERROR: Could not find feature thread."?

Internet searches have not turned up anything helpful.

Post by: Juanito on March 30, 2020, 09:47:19 AM: Are qt-5.x-all and intltool loaded?
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 09:56:42 AM: Yes, both are loaded.
Also, in the steps I listed it should be export QMAKESPEC (no "T" in it). Sorry for the typo.

I'm totally stuck.

Post by: Juanito on March 30, 2020, 10:03:42 AM: Does “make V=1” throw up any more errors?
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 10:06:52 AM: No. Same as before:

Post by: Rich on March 30, 2020, 10:17:25 AM: Hi GNUser
What if you do this:
Code: [Select]
configure --prefix=/usr/local -no-feature-thread
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 10:22:00 AM: Darn, no. Same result.
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: Rich on March 30, 2020, 10:28:25 AM: Hi GNUser
How about this:
Code: [Select]
configure --prefix=/usr/local -no-warnings-are-errors -no-feature-thread
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 10:33:38 AM: Thank you, Rich. You had my hopes up with that one :)
Alas, same result.
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 10:38:22 AM: I found that these files in the qt-5.x-dev extension have "thread" in their name:
Code: [Select]
./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/QThread ./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/QThreadPool ./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/QThreadStorage ./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/QThreadStorageData ./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/qthread.h ./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/qthreadpool.h ./tmp/tcloop/qt-5.x-dev/usr/local/include/qt5/QtCore/qthreadstorage.h
Maybe one of the steps in the build process does not know where to find these files on a TCL system?
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: Rich on March 30, 2020, 11:07:12 AM: Hi GNUser
You missed one:
Code: [Select]
/usr/local/lib/qt5/mkspecs/features/unix/thread.prf
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 11:24:21 AM: Thank you, Rich. I think I see what the problem is. At first I was getting an error related to linux-g++. I got around that error with this:
Code: [Select]
export QMAKESPEC=/usr/local/lib/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++
Now the errors are related to thread. So it seems both errors may be related to mkspecs

Maybe I should be setting QMAKESPEC to something else?
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: Rich on March 30, 2020, 11:28:04 AM: Hi GNUser
Maybe you need to shorten it to:
Code: [Select]
export QMAKESPEC=/usr/local/lib/qt5/mkspecs
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 01:55:52 PM: Thanks, Rich. That helps somewhat. Now the error is different:

Code: [Select]

Error processing project file: notepadqq.pro error!
I'm puzzled why qmake can't find things on its own.
Is it a problem with how qmake was packaged, or is it a problem with notepadqq's source code (making assumptions that are true for some distros but not true for TCL)?

I found this:
Code: [Select]
./configure --prefix /usr --qmake /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmakeover here:
https://www.linuxbabe.com/desktop-linux/compile-notepadqq-debian-ubuntu-raspbian
That site also list some packages I don't see in the repo (qt5-qmake, qttools5-dev-tools, etc) though it's possible they are included
in some other packages.
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 02:55:58 PM: make seems to be able to find qmake, I don't think that's the issue. The issue seems to be that qmake itself is looking for stuff in wrong places, has no clue where to find things in TCL.
Thanks for your help, Rich. I'm giving up on this for now.

Post by: Rich on March 30, 2020, 03:01:01 PM: Hi GNUser
There's always geany.tcz. Been using it since TC4.
Title: Re: notepadqq compilation error: "Could not find feature thread"
Post by: GNUser on March 30, 2020, 11:48:41 PM: Thanks, Rich. I had used geany in the past, but it had fallen off my radar.

I tried geany again today and have to say it's perfect for what I need. It does more than notepadqq but, paradoxically, loads much faster and has fewer dependencies. Thank you very much for the recommendation!
