Dear a.l.e I had asked a few weeks ago on this list about just getting ready-made exes for Windows and Linux and I have kindly received links and could get 1.5.3 for Windows. Then I wanted 1.5.3 for our office computers (for Linux) and found out that we cannot easily install 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 side-by-side. So this list informed me, that if we compile ourselves, we have a choice of where the output goes - and that supposedly is a way to have both versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 on one machine. (Background: We need 1.5.2 for daily production. And we are really drooling about 1.5.3, because it fixes serious problems for our language here. So we are trying to do our part - in testing - and are spying to not miss the day, when we can use 1.5.3 to make real documents. We were hoping to even make simple four-page sheets even now on 1.5.3.) Now I cannot own several computers (money problem) so I got myself a computer with more RAM and an i5 planning to run virtual machines as needed. This is working fine so far. Work in a virtual machine takes somewhat longer? Fine. Here in Africa, we got more time than money... Then I also very recently received instructions from this list on how to compile 1.5.3 for Ubuntu (because the ready-made stuff is killing our 1.5.2 installation, remember). And trying those rather all-over-the-place instructions I had error-messages about Qt5-elements missing. And then I did what the instructions are saying, on the page entitled "Building SVN versions with CMake" under the sub-heading "Getting and installing Qt5". I figured "if I get the entire beast, nothing should then be missing". I am very sad to hear, that what I was trying to do was "the most useless thing". I am puzzled anyway that there are several web-pages on the wiki which explain how-to build. And even when I asked on this list, I received the advice to google plus I received links for two different pages. From my recent experience, there is no clear instruction, which will work "as written". I am running an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with as many updates as I can get each week, so rather up-to-date. Maybe you - or somebody else on the list - who has really understood this building stuff and who is actually doing it (now, in February 2017) on a real Ubuntu could take a moment and share his or her secrets. Here is an example: The instructions on the page named above are giving a nice list of required libs for qt5. But they do not correspond to the package names in my Ubuntu. Maybe I need to subscribe to an additional repository? That would be helpful to be mentioned in the instructions. The first item in the requireds-list starts with Qt5Core and even that is not listed. I have many packages starting with Qt5 and I have for example libqt5core5a, so is this right, or what is with the 5a? And what about the missing linguistic tool? You write that the latest Ubuntu does have all that is needed. I find qt4-linguist-tools (so the search in my package manager is not broken) but I need something like qt5-linguist-tools because my cmake is complaining and stopping about that one. Where is it? So please help me. Make my efforts more than totally useless. Help me please to install a working 1.5.3 on my intern's computer (and in my virtual Ubuntu for testing) - while still keeping the busy 1.5.2 too. We want to be part of the ongoing development. What I am seeing on my Windows 10 (no more problems with stacking diacritics, finally spell checking our language one more time before PDF-export) is so nice that I want our office to have that too, not just the boss. Yes, this is emotional, yes you challenged me with your very direct message. Now make me happy again please. (And even as we are speaking, the team is next door, testing the prototype of the new childrens'-activity-sheets-series with real children (though in a lab-like-situation; luckily with no probes in their brains, just more observers in the room). So this is not about me nerding about, I want this minority language to have a working tool for publishing documents without hacks and tricks. Just normal publishing, like you have for English already. 1.5.3 is the solution. And 1.6. We just need to get it working on our computers. greetings, Martin > > ___ > Scribus Mailing List: scribus at lists.scribus.net > Edit your options or unsubscribe: > http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus > See also: > http://wiki.scribus.net > http://forums.scribus.net > > __________ Hinweis von ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Signaturdatenbank-Version > 14981 (20170222) __________ > > E-Mail wurde gepr?ft mit ESET NOD32 Antivirus. > > http://www.eset.com > > > > -- ZASKE Martin responsable G?G?
