Hi H,
Linux is fun, and compiling QGIS makes you a cool dude ;-) let's chat on irc or telegram... Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde On 12/14/2016 11:39 AM, DelazJ wrote:
Hi, /Disclaimer/: I'm a long-term Windows user who is learning Linux. And I'm not a developer so be patient. Before I pulled a request to master branch I decided this time to build QGIS and check my changes. I often heard people say "Use Linux; it's so easy to do that". And while a year (or more) ago I completely fail to understand which version of tools I should install to do that on Windows (7 or 8), this time it looks very straightforward. I followed instructions at http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html <http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html> (note that it should be updated as there still is: - a section entitled Qt4 <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc4> while its content is all about Qt5 and, Qt4 has nothing to do with QGIS 3 if I'm not wrong - a section entitled Qt5 <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc12> which warns you about using Qt5) So, I followed these instructions, regardless Qt4 title: - create the same folders at the same places - run "ccmake .." indicate the $home/apps folder as destination folder for the application (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) - run "make" - and then run "make install", showing many lines that point to my apps dir. I get a failure due to right access to some folder (I don't know why). So I run "sudo make install" which went till the end with no failure (that i can see) But when all this finishes tens of minutes later, my home/apps dir remains EMPTY. No QGIS to launch! If someone has an idea where I should investigate thanks very much. Or if you need me provide more information, let me know...
