For build howto

Hi
I'm a newbie in building big projects not from Debian sources, and I want to note some aspects for other beginners after I recently built 0.5.15-RC3 on linux from repo:

1) Download trunk sources
$ bzr clone lp:simulide

2) make
$ cd simulide/build_XX/
$ qmake
$ make all

I had to install (on Debian) this packages:
- Qt5 modules: qtmultimedia5-dev, qtscript5-dev, libqt5svg5-dev (availability was fast checked by qmake, some other Qt5 dev tools was already installed)
- libelf-dev (src/simavr/sim/read_elf.c:27:10) with qttools5-dev-tools (Makefile:1781: runLrelease) - this builddeps was found durning make

UPD 10 Jan 2002: + libqt5serialport5-dev

Hello @dvarkin

I want to contribuite to simulIDE.
I run the steps you specified but I got next errors:

I guess I'm doing something wrong but I want to confirm if it's maybe a
common mistake.

Thanks in advance

Nevermind
I changed to branch lp:simulide/0.4.15

Code:


bzr branch lp:simulide/0.4.15


But I have a question what's the difference between the two branches:
simulide and simulide/0.4.15?
looks like simulide contains more files but it doesn't compile.

Hello @julio.angulo!
"simulide" branch is pretty old, IMHO it's for stable distributions.
Use branches with versions that you interested in: now 0.4.15 and 1.0.0

I have tried to compile project on fresh KDE distro, but many things missing...

Is there a definite "How To" documentation?

What I have found is this on the website, but that is necessary to run application only :

Code:


sudo apt-get install libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5xml5 libqt5svg5 libqt5widgets5 libqt5concurrent5 libqt5multimedia5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5serialport5 libqt5script5 libelf1


Not enough to build the project from source. I have some QT libs, but qmake complains that this also missing: "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: core gui svg xml script widgets concurrent serialport multimedia"

Etc. I have not found anything in readme files. It would be very useful to have one or several commands to install all dependencies on fresh distro, from qmake, on.

Thanks.

I have performed this:

Code:


sudo apt install get install qt5-qmake
sudo apt install qt5-default qtchooser-dbgsym
sudo apt-get install libqt5svg5-dev libqt5svg5-dbgsym libqt5serialport5-dev qtpositioning5-dev


Only multimedia module left, however I have no idea what is necessary to add in order to complete module list. I have tried several suggestions I have manage to find, but nothing was helpful.

This have solved the last problem:

Code:

sudo apt install qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5

Compilation and build then was successfull.
