Compiling on arm

[thearkadia]

I'm compiling telephant on arm with go version go1.8 linux/arm

when doing go get -u -v I get:

github.com/therecipe/qt/quickcontrols2
../../therecipe/qt/quickcontrols2/quickcontrols2.cpp:9:22: fatal error: QByteArray: No such file or directory
 #include <QByteArray>
                      ^
compilation terminated.

 #include <QAbstractAnimation>
                              ^
compilation terminated.

Sounds like you haven't installed the Qt dependencies - or at least it couldn't find them.

This doesn't seem to be arm-specific, I'm experiencing the same issue building it inside a docker container running all the steps listed in README and installing golang-go and git, could you @muesli please add the Qt dependency installation instruction to README?

[muesli]

@CryptKid Sadly that's a very distribution-specific thing. The Qt bindings have a bit of information regarding the Qt installation on their Wiki:

https://github.com/therecipe/qt/wiki/Installation-on-Linux

[muesli]

Alternatively, you can try building the entire thing in a Docker container itself:

$GOPATH/bin/qtdeploy -docker build linux

Obviously you'd still need the Qt5 libraries at run-time (no the -dev packages though!). Last but not least, you could even try a static build within Docker, which should also resolve that "issue".

[thearkadia]

What about doing for us who want to do it without Docker?

@thearkadia Just use your distro's Qt5 packages.

[thearkadia]

could there be a command list in the readme for this situation?

@thearkadia That very much depends on the distribution you use. I could probably provide it for Arch & Ubuntu, but beyond that it's tough to maintain and verify those lists.

Obviously packaged versions of Telephant will make this less of an issue in the future.

[thearkadia]

I’d appreciate an ubuntu one

@thearkadia The official bindings wiki recommends sudo apt-get -y install libqt*5-dev qt*5-dev even though that seems a bit excessive for me. Will have to verify.

Then set your $QT_PKG_CONFIG to true and follow the README.

[thearkadia]

where do I set $QT_PKG_CONFIG

[muesli]

That's simply an environment variable.

export QT_PKG_CONFIG=true

I'm just looking into another build issue with Ubuntu/Debian based distros, though. May or may not be related.

[muesli]

I've just updated the README with build instructions for Ubuntu that I just ran through in a VM myself. Hope this helps!

[thearkadia]

there's another issue with compiling on arm =\

package math/bits: unrecognized import path "math/bits" (import path does not begin with hostname)

here's the full output if you want to see it https://pastebin.com/1kATPcsi

[therecipe]

@thearkadia math/bits is a new package that was added in Go 1.9, I think you will probably just need to update your Go installation for this to work.

[muesli]

Thanks @therecipe. I shall bump the Go requirement in the README to reflect that.

[thearkadia]

@muesli great. Will you include instructions to install the right version of Go on ubuntu? It's not in the repos so its more of a process

[thearkadia]

@muesli installing the dependencies in the readme and the running the rpi build i get this

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

[muesli]

Is this the RPi3 build I uploaded to the 0.1pre release, or something you've built yourself?

[thearkadia]

The build you uploaded
