Make error on Linux Mint

Ground Control Software APM Planner 2.0
1

Not sure if it matters but I’m using Linux Mint 15 Olivia, based on Ubuntu 13.04

I have followed the instructions here:
github.com/diydrones/apm_planne … /README.md
up until 3.

‘qtmake-qt4 qgroundcontrol.pro’ does not work, so I run
’qmake qgroundcontrol.pro’

and get the following error:
cj@x201i ~/workspace/apm_planner $ qmake qgroundcontrol.pro
Project MESSAGE: Qt version 5.0.1
Project MESSAGE: Linux build
Project MESSAGE: Release flavor
Project MESSAGE: BASEDIR /home/cj/workspace/apm_planner DESTDIR /home/cj/workspace/apm_planner/release TARGET apmplanner2
/home/cj/workspace/apm_planner/QGCExternalLibs.pri:379: Extra characters after test expression.
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script declarative webkit phonon svg

and now I’m stuck and was wandering if anyone can offer advice.

Regards
Chris
PS - very much a Linux noob, so if you can help please spell it out for me, thanks

Try installing the dependencies as described in the readme.md

[quote]sudo apt-get install phonon libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev
libphonon-dev libphonon4 phonon-backend-gstreamer
qtcreator libsdl1.2-dev libflite1 flite1-dev build-essential
libopenscenegraph-dev libssl-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libudev-dev
libsndfile1-dev[/quote]

Then qmake-qt4 will be available.

APM Planner will not build correctly against Qt5.x

Thank you for your reply.
I have already installed all those dependancies, as I followed the readme.

[quote]qmake-qt4 qgroundcontrol.pro[/quote] works ok, thankyou.

However, following the readme instructions, I was trying to run

[quote]qtmake-qt4 qgroundcontrol.pro or
qmake qgroundcontrol.pro[/quote]
neither of which worked.

so close now… OK, so now onto the next problem :slight_smile:
Running the command:

The spash screen opens and then the gui errors:

I don’t see a directory ‘qml’ under home/cj/

The terminal output:

The readme has been corrected (thanks Bill!) to specify the correct qmake.

It looks like you ran it from your home folder. Try running it from the project folder.

There are now Linux binaries, so I highly recommend using them (this daily build or any later) http://firmware.diydrones.com/Tools/APMPlanner/daily/2014-03-27/ unless you are planning on doing development work.

The ubuntu raring builds should work fine with Linux mint.

Thank you, that worked great !

Sweet music to my ears, wish I had know about that before hand !!

Thank you all for your help.

PS - I think it would be really helpful to link to the binaries from the download page, only Windows and Mac are shown

They where first posted yesterday. A link to the first stable release will be posted to the downloads section in the next couple of days.
