Makefile fails due to package configuration file not found.

[jere53]

When following the build instructions, the "make -f release.makefile" command fails with error:

CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake:31 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5OpenGL" with
  any of the following names:
        Qt5OpenGLConfig.cmake
         qt5opengl-config.cmake

In order to fix this one must find the actual Qt5OpenGLConfig.cmake file and set the "Qt5OpenGL_DIR" variable in the Qt5Config.cmake to point to the directory where Qt5OpenGLConfig.cmake is, like so:

*
*
*
if (NOT Qt5_FIND_COMPONENTS)
    set(Qt5_NOT_FOUND_MESSAGE "The Qt5 package requires at least one component")
    set(Qt5_FOUND False)
    return()
endif()

//ADD THIS LINE (Replace with the path to whichever folder you found "Qt5OpenGLConfig.cmake" at):
set(Qt5OpenGL_DIR /opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5OpenGL/)


set(_Qt5_FIND_PARTS_REQUIRED)
if (Qt5_FIND_REQUIRED)
    set(_Qt5_FIND_PARTS_REQUIRED REQUIRED)
endif()
*
*
*

Hello! Although I am not entirely sure what OS you are trying to build stremio-shell on, I presume it is GNU/Linux based. From the proposed change I also presume you have opted not to install Qt from your package manager and rather you have used the Qt Online Installer as I am not aware of package manager installing packages in /opt directory.

I strongly advise you using the Qt package provided for your operating system and installed via your package manager. For example you can see the instructions for building on Debian Linux. On other distributions the package names may vary (like qt5-base-devel on Solus instead of qt5-default) but you will be able to find the correct names either by using your package manager or asking in the community forums for your distribution. Here is also our official package for Arch Linux. In the depends and makedepends sections you can see that some of the package names also differ from these on Debian.

By using the packages for your distribution you can be sure that there will be no incompatibilities and also CMake will have no issues finding the required components.

If you want to use the Qt package from the Qt website you need to figure out how to configure it to work with CMake. Hardcoding paths in the build scripts is not the way to go.

I had to install libqt5opengl5-dev on mx linux to get past the error you describe. sudo apt-get install Qt5OpenGL*

Also, the make file failed at the rsvg-convert command. I had to install that with: sudo apt-get install librsvg*

and then force a remake with: make -f release.makefile -B
