Building qview

Development
1

I’m trying to build qview in Haiku, which I’m interested in because Haiku’s default image viewer can’t show gif files in motion.

I think every one of the required libraries is in one of the repositories. When I tried building, I got this error message repeated in an infinite loop

have you tried with:
haikuporter -S -j1 --no-source-packages --get-dependencies qview

3

qview isn’t in the repository

4

looking at the source code, it seems the file names qmake expects are slightly different from the ones included.

edit: so after renaming everything in src to what’s expected, I still get this message repeated

Project MESSAGE: This is a release build
Project MESSAGE: Installation prefix is /usr/local
WARNING: Failure to find: resources/resources.qrc
/boot/system/bin/rcc: File does not exist ‘resources/resources.qrc’
/bin/qmake -o Makefile qview.pro

maybe a folder name just needs renaming…

edit2: now, I’m getting stuck because it’s trying to write to /usr/local/bin, and it can’t.

It appears to be in the repository. I can see it in the x86 repository as qview_x86 and in the x86_64 repository as qview

Huh. The first time I checked it didn’t popup, but maybe that’s because I wasn’t updated at the time.

Looks like it’s an older version. You may be able to use the recipe for 3.0 while building 5.0 though.

8

Maybe. I’m still not familiar with how recipes work, but I’ll look into it.

I submitted a pull request at HaikuPorts. Hopefully 5.0 will be available soon.
