qtmir Source code build
-
Can someone help me out in building qtmir source code in Ubuntu 24.04(64bit)
@Likhitha_s hi,
Did you try to contact the project authors ?
-
@SGaist No
-
That would be a good starting point.
-
Can you explain why you need the mir Qt plugin ? The version of mir you seem to want to target is obsolete.
-
i just wanted to run Qt application on mir using mir Qt Plugin to know how Mir Qt plugin internally uses mir
-
Then read the source code of the plugin.
You do realize that this plugin (if we are talking about this repository) has not seen any new commit since 8 years. And from your other thread relies on a version of mir that is not in use anymore.
However it seems that there is a more recent repository of QtMir on GitLab.com.
So please, provide more, accurate, information about what you are currently trying to build and with which version of Qt.
-
And why do you create another account and ask the exact same question again?

@Likhitha_s
To be clear: the other post asks for "How to Install qtmir in the Ubuntu 22.04" while you ask for "building qtmir source code in Ubuntu 24.04". Apart from the difference in Ubuntu version, the other post asks for "installing" while you ask for "building". These are not the same. You may be the correct one: if qtmir is only supplied as source code it has to be built not just installed.In any case the two links for qtmir mentioned by @SGaist both require building from source and have instructions/examples. What is your specific issue about "building for Ubuntu 24.04" which is not covered there? It looks like it has been written for Qt5 (specifically 5.4? which is very old). Ubuntu 22/24 come with Qt5 but at a later version (5.12?), or a Qt6 from the time the OS was released. If you are to use it all you will not want to use a Qt5.4, you will either have to see if it works for Qt5.12 maybe with minor tweaks or move it to Qt6 which possibly more changes. As for whether all the other sources/libraries it uses (e.g. did I see Unity?) are available you will have to investigate that.

Then it's a good idea that you state that you are both working on the same subject with different issues.
In any case, please answer the questions I have asked.

@JonB im facing issue while building qtmir in Ubuntu 24.04 is missing packages(mirclient) dependency error
@Likhitha_s
README saysHandy way to grab dependencies is with:
$ sudo mk-build-deps -ir debian/controlSo I presume you did that. So what does that do for
mirclientpackage? If it errors why does it do so, if it is trying to fetch stuff from the web are whatever files/packages it wants "from 8 years ago" still available for download? -

Which source code ? I already asked you to be more precise and accurate. I my previous post I linked two different repositories that provide qtmir. Which one are you using ? If not the GitLab one, did you check it since it seems to be more recent ?

mir 1.x as this mirclient where as in mir 2.x it is deprecated
qtmir used mir 1.x version
ubuntu older versions till 20.04 contains mir 1.x version where as newer Ubuntu version supports only mir 2.x -

Could be university/school public IP and same machine they share in PC pool / lab...
But yeah... posting the same stuff without sharing information with each other is dumb :)
