Problem building in Ubuntu bionic

[aConar]

Hi, first thanks a lot for this extremely useful software. I tried to build MorphoDig in Ubuntu Bionic following the posted instructions without success. The building process stopped with the following error:

MorphoDig/Qt/CMakeFiles/MorphoDigQt.dir/build.make:626: recipe for target 'MorphoDig/Qt/CMakeFiles/MorphoDigQt.dir/mqActorTreePanel.cxx.o' failed
make[2]: *** [MorphoDig/Qt/CMakeFiles/MorphoDigQt.dir/mqActorTreePanel.cxx.o] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:269: recipe for target 'MorphoDig/Qt/CMakeFiles/MorphoDigQt.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [MorphoDig/Qt/CMakeFiles/MorphoDigQt.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:151: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

System: Ubuntu LTS Bionic

Could be possible to make an universal binary like appimage or Flatpak of MorphoDig? That would be great for end users with little command line skills.

Thanks!

Ale

Hi, As far as I understood, compiling Morphodig require Qt 5.x.x but the default version in bionic is a 4.8.7.. It seems possible to update the Qt version manually in theory but the recipe available from the Qt website don't work for 16.04 or older as the version controller for Qt was modified in these version. It is now crazy intricate and I never managed to have a Qt5 version that was taken into account when compiling. Maybe the newer (non LTS) version of ubuntu updated Qt by default. Otherwise Morphodig works perfectly under wine64. Please keep us updated if you find a workaround. Léo Le mer. 30 oct. 2019 à 19:26, aConar <notifications@github.com> a écrit :

There seem to be currently a couple of issues in the code itself

1. In Qt/mqColorOpacityEditorWidget.ui, the following include is all lowercase but should be

-   <header>mqhistogramwidget.h</header>
+   <header>mqHistogramWidget.h</header>

2. In Helpers/vtkMDInteractorStyle.cxx, the definition of SHIFT_PRESSED is commented out but used later
   and
3. due to a bug in QT5.9 that ships with 18.04, you get an error regarding QPalette::PlaceholderText, so you will need to build latest version of QT yourself.

All my apologies for the very late answer, I was not at the lab last week and then on holiday.
=> thanks a lot Stefan for your suggestions, which I just just put in the Github main branch.
Did this solve your issue ?
