Developing Slackware installation procedure

Hello

I would like to develop a LibreCAD installation procedure for Slackware (Slackware64 13.1) but have encountered a qmake problem and do not know enough about qmake to debug it.

Using the Ubuntu 10.10 installation procedure as a basis, I downloaded the git, ran qmake (which generated Makefile and two directories) and ran qmake Makefile which generated the following error:

Makefile:1079: Parse Error ('first: all')

Netsearching suggested this is caused by an error in the .pro file but librecad.pro does not contain anything to generate "first: all" to my unlearned eyes.

What to do?

Incidentally the Ubuntu 10.10 installation procedure has lines run together such as "cd ~ mkdir source cd source" and there's a typo in "Note: if you have 1t3 and qt4". EDIT: It also has "cd LibreCAD qmake make" which should (?) be "cd LibreCAD && qmake && qmake Makefile".

Charles,

I will take a look at the CMS and see why it appears on one line...

However, it sounds like if you are running qmake on the makefile.

The process is like this:

first execute : qmake

Wait until it finishes, then rune make

This process is also explained here:

http://blog.librecad.org/2010/10/debian-64-bit-and-ubuntu-compile-how-to/

(but instead of suing svn we now use git)

I can repeat your error if I do the following:
$ qmake
$ qmake Makefile

which is incorrect

you should be doing (as Ries pointed out above)
$ qmake
$ make

When I use "make" instead of "qmake Makefile", the program builds.

Hopefully that works for you too

Re: Developing Slackware installation procedure

Thanks Ries and showard314

That was exactly my error. After fixing that:

After that I tested the build by running

cd unix && ./librecad

It opened LibreCAD OK; it looked fine and I drew a few lines OK.

Installing LibreCAD from source would be easier to follow if the commands which should be on separate lines were shown on separate lines or the commands were separated by appropriate shell metacharacters (and the Java syntax highlighting could be removed because it is not meaningful). For example

cd ~  mkdir source  cd source  git clone git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git

would be

cd ~  && mkdir source  && cd source  && git clone git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git

and

cd LibreCAD qmake make

would become

cd LibreCAD && qmake && make

or, if qmake return code is not useful/reliable, simply

cd LibreCAD && qmake; make

I am willing to change the page.

Charles,

I will take care of the breaks later today.

This seems to be a issue with the highlighter plugin we are using..

Hello

Is it OK to ignore the two messages about missing files?

LibreCAD was OK in further use except for crashing a few times when a circle radius was copy-pasted from OOo Calc. Will keep a file to reproduce the problem when not tired and in a hurry to get a drawing done.

And so on to packaging for Slackware as a Slackbuild. The Slackware way is to build from source and to make minimal practicable changes to upstream -- which would include MIME type and desktop integration. The Slackbuild system requires a download link for the source. Is it too early in LibreCAD's evolution for that?
