Multiple Linux Platforms fail to compile with master branch

[jnweiger]

In e.g. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/isv:ownCloud:testpilot:nightly/testpilotcloud-client
we have compile errors with

CentOS_7, Debian_7, Fedora_24, openSUSE_13.1

Debian_7 has this error in the logs:

The Debian_7 error was probably introduced by 3cea550 and scripting/client/templates commit/57a92cf15d93b8562b49e7d40dae3e002f10052f

It may be triggering an issue with moc. An ugly workaround for the issue is

@dschmidt I am reverting to CMakeLists.txt editing. This does not trigger the bug that -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH would trigger in Debian 7. Hope this is a better fix...

[michaelstingl]

2.3.3 release should come with Debian 7, but we could drop Debian 7 for the 2.4.0 release.

[michaelstingl]

@dschmidt When can I get Debian 7 builds back ?

[ogoffart]

Can you please give me the log file where moc is called to generate moc_propagateupload.cpp Are you sure the right moc is in use and that the right include paths are passed to it?
We should make sure this goes well otherwise there might be more subtle errors that can only be seen at runtime.

The Debian_7 error was probably introduced by 3cea550

No, quite the contrary. I removed that code when you said that you has this error. So this would fix this error. However as i said there might be another problem with the moc generation that we need to figure out.

[jnweiger]

Reverting back to patching CMakeLists.txt fixes that all.
@ogoffart You are right. I misunderstood your fix. -Sorry. The issue is with cmake and moc. Probably this one: http://gccxml.org/Bug/bug_relationship_graph.php?bug_id=13493&graph=dependency&orientation=vertical (We still don't have the moc command line. Make needs a more verbose setting to reveal this)

@michaelstingl All packages for platforms now build with 2.3.3 nightly
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/isv:ownCloud:testpilot:nightly (ready for release :-))

@dschmidt Something is odd in https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/isv:ownCloud:testpilot:edge all the overlay packages fail to find QtCore...

[ogoffart]

@jnweiger do you have the line of the log that show the command used to generate moc_propagateupload.cpp ?

[dschmidt]

Will take a look tomorrow.
