Compile Natron -- Debian Qt5

Software Natron
1

Hello,
I’m trying to comile natron with qt5 on Debian, but it is not finiding qt5 if I run
qmake -r ../Project.pro CONFIG+=python3
I have qt5-qmake installed under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5.
I guess I need to link that in the config.pri, but not sure how.
Can someone help?

Hi,

Try using CMake for Qt5.

That is looking more promissing. I get the follwing error though:

/usr/bin/ld: ../libs/ceres/libceres.a(solver.cc.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_rwlock_destroy@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/usr/bin/ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[2]: *** [Renderer/CMakeFiles/NatronRenderer.dir/build.make:142: Renderer/NatronRenderer] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1065: Renderer/CMakeFiles/NatronRenderer.dir/all] Error 2
gmake: *** [Makefile:160: all] Error 2

I’ve tried $cmake --build . -lpthread, but that did not help.

Yeah, the current state of Qt5 build files are not the best it seems, these are your options:

Or if your plan was to use Natron, just download the binaries from GitHub releases.

Eventually I would like to contribute to the project and wanted to try the new qt5. Maybe I can start helping by updating the documentation for building from source on debian.
EDIT:
I was able to fix the issue by cmake --enable-debugger LDFLAGS='-Wl,--copy-dt-needed-entries,-pthread' --configure ../.
Now there is an error with the checks. Maybe you can have a look. I did not spot the relevant part yet. /usr/bin/ld: ../Engine/libNatronEngine.a(AppInstance.cpp.o): in function `_Py_DE - Pastebin.com

I’m have QT 5.15.2 checking out before 54368aba46b2d586a4f78f5b6c70363e9e118c04 makes it possible to compile without errors. If the application is launched it immediatly crashes Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX). (The old release is working fine. GPU is Nvidia 3080)

Compiling with cmake is stuck in the tests.

Btw. I just wanted to mention, that I have a working version of darktable installed. I just wanted to give this a try, because I love Natron and I’m excited seeing it moving forward. So don’t worry about me. I’m trying to find solutions/ways to contribute and learn new stuff.
