if someone got some ideas or maybe it can be usefull to developpers to show there is a version issue.
Cheers

I think 18.04 may be a bit old for the latest dev version. for example Ubuntu 20.04 has qt5.14.2 now. It is a version under development and not fully documented yet. The new Previously the main branch included developments. Now they are separated off to dev.

[nlb]

Ok @robin.newman. I will try later.
I delete my post about this version from the current version not to add confusion.
Cheers

I have built 3.4dev (usual qt gui) on Ubuntu 20.04 running on a Pi4 this morning. Just ran the included scripts. It also builds the vc package, which requires some extra packages (prompted for) and an environmental variable to be set on certain platforms. This is used by the alternative sample gui, although this doesn’t work presently on a Pi. You can disable this build to speed up the process.

@robin.newman

vc package

what does it call like this ?

[robin.newman]

The source is downloaded by the pre-build script, patched and compiled. It is used in the upgraded build process.
see here

[nlb]

ok but what the vc letters means ?

so i have tried on ubuntu 20.04.02

and i get this

cmake version 3.16.3

If you have an idea let me know but i think wisely wait for the next official release and let the developpers develop :slight_smile:

@nlb

error: ‘class QActionGroup’ has no member named ‘setExclusionPolicy’

This probably indicates that your system is using an incorrect version of Qt - best to check that everything lines up with the dependencies mentioned here:

sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/blob/dev/BUILD-LINUX.md

[nlb]

hi
So on Ubuntu 20.04.02, i followed this sonic-pi/BUILD-LINUX.md at dev · sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi · GitHub and i get that error :

Package Qt5 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `Qt5.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'Qt5' found

Cheers

The error is generated from the linux-prebuild becuase it cant find lrelease. This is pointed to by qtconcurrent, but also make sure that you have qttools5-dev-tools installed using sudo apt install. Hopefully that will then run OK.
