Compiling of current git version fails with QT error Topic is solved

[camelcase]

Hello,

I'd like to compile the current git version of testdisk on a Debian Jessie system.

Unfortunately, configure throws following errors:

Code: Select all

./configure: line 8180: syntax error near unexpected token `QTGUI,'
./configure: line 8180: `  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(QTGUI, QtGui  >= 4.0.1,,use_qt=false)'

No matter if I call ./configure with or without --enable-qt=no

Seems that a qt-package is missing but I don't have a clue which one.

Hi Guys,

I'm adding to this case, as I am facing the same problem. I'd like to compile from git, but get:

./configure: line 8197: syntax error near unexpected token `QTGUI,'
./configure: line 8197: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(QTGUI, QtGui >= 4.0.1,,use_qt=false)'

So I've tried

apt-get install qt4-default libqt4-core libqt4-dev

but the issue persists.

libqt4-designer is installed as well as "some other stuff", in particular libqtgui is installed:

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy libqtgui4
libqtgui4:
  Installed: 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1
  Candidate: 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1
  Version table:
 *** 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 0
        500 http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Could someone advise on what is required in terms of QT libraries et al. to compile testdisk?

Thanks,
T

Hi - I am still hoping for a git pull that would fix the issue, but still I receive

Code: Select all

./configure: line 8197: syntax error near unexpected token `QTGUI,'
./configure: line 8197: `  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(QTGUI, QtGui  >= 4.0.1,,use_qt=false)'

Could I at least get some form of a hint, please?
Thanks

In case someone stumbles upon this - here is what did the trick for me:

i) make sure pkg-config is installed (following a hint Christophe gave, for which I am grateful!)
ii) rm -r testdisk/ (optional, I believe)
iii) mkdir testdisk (optional as well - I like stuff to be "clean")
iv) git clone http://git.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.git
v) cd testdisk && mkdir config
vi) autoreconf --install -W all -I config
vii) ./configure
viii) make
ix) cd /src && ./photorec => PhotoRec 7.1-WIP, Data Recovery Utility, May 2015
