Problems building 5.6.2 on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspbian 12 (Debian Bookworm)

[RobertPHeller]

I am trying to build QT 5.6.2 on my Raspberry Pi 5 (which is running Raspbian 12, which ships with 5.4.2). I need 5.6.2 for Fritzing 1.0.7. I am getting this error when building:

The version of libssl installed is 3.0.20-1~deb12u2+rpt1.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

This ancient Qt version does not build with openssl 3.x - you need either openssl 1.x or disable ssl for the Qt build.

[RobertPHeller]

OK, after disabling openssl (./configure ... -no-openssl), I am getting this error:

qxcbconnection_xi2.cpp:701:80: error: operator '&&' has no right operand
  701 | #elif LIBXI_MAJOR == 1 && (LIBXI_MINOR < 7 || (LIBXI_MINOR == 7 && LIBXI_PATCH < 4))

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Might be a silly question but did you do a cleanup before reconfiguring ?

Also, please use out of source builds, it makes things way easier.

[RobertPHeller]

I did a "make clean", is that enough?

[RobertPHeller]

I cleared everything, unpacked the source tar fresh and created a BUILD directory and started the build over. Make crashes at the same place.

[RobertPHeller]

I tried with -no-xcb, but now make is failing here:

[SGaist]

Might be a silly question but are you sure you installed all development dependencies ?

[RobertPHeller]

I think so. drm.h is actually installed:

marchhare% locate drm.h|grep '/drm.h$'
/usr/include/drm/drm.h
/usr/include/libdrm/drm.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.75+rpt-common-rpi/include/uapi/drm/drm.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.93+rpt-common-rpi/include/uapi/drm/drm.h

marchhare% dpkg-query -S /usr/include/libdrm/drm.h

linux-headers-6.12.93+rpt-common-rpi: /usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.93+rpt-common-rpi/include/uapi/drm/drm.h

I don't know what is missing...

The configure script completed without problems -- wouldn't it crash if something essentual was missing?

[RobertPHeller]

Wondering: should the build statement include -I/usr/include/libdrm :

marchhare% pkg-config libdrm --cflags-only-I
-I/usr/include/libdrm

It doesn't. This would explain the problem. This suggests that there is a problem in the configure script or configure tests or the Makefiles (or the generation of the Makefiles).

[RobertPHeller]

I edited the Makefile and added -I/usr/include/libdrm to the INCPATH and that cured things.,,

[RobertPHeller]

OK, now the build creashes here:

[RobertPHeller]

I edited socketcanbackend.cpp to include the missing include file (<linux/sockios.h>) and compiling is proceding...
