Solved Attempting to install QT5.3.2 using pkg, but can't call qmake-q5

[nactusberrilli]

This is what I've done:

pkg search qt5, this returned devel/qt5. Next I ran sudo pkg install qt5-5.3.2, it downloaded about 44MB with no errors and it installed everything successfully.

Now, I'm trying to run qmake-q5 with no success. I found this post that states that qmake does not work anymore, so I tried using qmake-q<x> unsuccessfully. It returns qmake-qt5: not found.

How do I call the proper qmake file version for QT5.3.2 in FreeBSD 10.0 ? Thanks.

Next I ran sudo pkg install qt5-5.3.2, it downloaded about 44MB of src with no errors and it installed everything successfully.

Just nitpicking a bit. pkg(8) does not install sources, it installs pre-compiled binaries.

I found this post that states that qmake does not work anymore.

That's a 5 year old post.

Thanks, SirDice, I edited my initial entry. In a "desperate" attempt to fix this issue I tried several things, including compiling QT5 from source. I think the "src part" was added accidentally from that phase. Entry edited.

What exactly is the problem with qmake-q5?

 

[nactusberrilli]

It returns qmake-qt5: not found

Have a look at the last post of the thread you linked.

You can also have a look at what devel/qt5 actually installed with pkg info -l qt5.

Thanks much, this did it:

Just in case someone stumbles upon this. If you are using FreeBSD 10 and installed qmake5; it's not in the default $PATH.
You can get the path for its binaries using: pkg info -l qt5-qmake | grep bin
For my setup it's: /usr/local/lib/qt5/bin/qmake
