troubles installing brewtarget

Ok,

So I'm no linux wizard but I'm learning as I go along. I'm trying to install brewtarget but just can't seem to. I tried the deb package but it won't work on my 64 bit ubuntu. So I tried compiling the source (still new to that). Here's where I'm stuck.

So I run the ./configure and I get

---Configure script for Brewtarget.
OS: Linux...yay!
/usr/bin/qmake brewtarget.pro

You are now ready to run "/usr/bin/make" then "/usr/bin/make install".

So I type sudo /usr/bin/make and get this

enderusaf@GeekBox:~/Downloads/temp/brewtarget-1.2$ sudo /usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/uic-qt4 ui/aboutDialog.ui -o src/ui_aboutDialog.h
make: /usr/bin/uic-qt4: Command not found
make: *** [src/ui_aboutDialog.h] Error 127



What am I doing wrong?

if I use /usr/bin/qmake the command enters and gives me another prompt.

when I type enderusaf@GeekBox:~/Downloads/temp/brewtarget-1.2$ sudo /usr/bin/qmake install
Cannot find file: install.

It would appear you are missing the libqt4 development binaries and headers. On Debian you can install them by doing apt-get install libqt4-dev

ok, this is where I'm at now.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...mediaobject-no-such-file-or-directory-728306/

I use Mandriva and ran into this problem. I just go into the makefile, if the file exists, and make changes to it there.

To see if the file exists I use locate.

locate mediaobject.h

If locate doesn't have a database installed, then....

updatdb

(you have to make a database of files to reference first)

This is the results of my locate mediaobject.h however I don't know what to do from there. For now I installed brewtarget on windows, but that makes me a sad panda.

Hmm.. did you try Chris's suggestion?

apt-get install libqt4-dev

I haven't done anything Debian based in a while but I think that would install the libs instead of trying to download a tarball and installing from that?

You are also missing the phonon headers you can install the libphonon-dev package and re-run configure. That should fix most of those problems.

Ok,

So that brought me one step closer. I have installed both packages as recommended. Now the make command works with no errors but when I try to do the /usr/bin/make install no install command is found. Any ideas?

Ok, So I've tried using the install command with the parameters listed in the Makefile. I can open up brewtarget when in the folder it was decompressed to with ./brewtarget however it won't access it's associated database. So once I make any changes it closes. This is the error I get when I open brewtarget.

I forget what you are using? Ubantu? Does the "apt-get install install" work for this? I'm not sure what package management systems it uses. Probably a gui tool built in somewhere? During install I'd guess you didn't choose 'development' as an option so you have to add these after the fact?

In the end a distro is just a collection of programs to go along with the kernel so you have to chose what you want. They put different things in by default based on 'whatever'. I think I did a trail install of Ubantu once but I don't remember much, if anything, about it. I don't know if there is a gui tool that would just let you choose 'development' and install the more common packages needed.

Actually, you might be able to run the program now. These files didn't exist if you didn't have a previous version. At worst you can create an empty file for install to open with the touch command.

touch /home/enderusaf/.config/brewtarget/options.xml
etc. Just cut and paste but I THINK you can now run the program.

if just plain bretarget doesn't work on the command line, try...

updatedb
locate bin/brewtarget

no brewtarget is not in the ubuntu's repo. However doing some research I found my solution. It was solved in another post on this forum from a Rocketman.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f84/br...n-source-brewing-software-153755/index18.html

There's the link for anyone else who is also running into this problem.

Now I'm all good to go.


Thanks for the help guys, without it I wouldn't haven't gotten far enough to get the program up and running.

HH60gunner, sorry I didn't see this thread earlier! Glad to see it's solved though.

Chris (vortexla), you are a Debian dev? Can you get brewtarget into the Debian repos? I have had my package up on debian mentors for more than a year, and nothing.

Wondered why you hadn't popped into the thread. If we see this stuff in the future maybe we should consider dropping you a PM just in case?

Yeah, if I don't pop into a brewtarget discussion quick enough, PM me.

i tried to download for windows and it does nothing. i am obviously not computer savvy. please help.

You mean the download link does nothing? Or do you mean you can't unzip the file?
