Very difficult time getting Kalendar going. MAKE error

[tanstaafl72555]

So, in order to try and install what looks like a very nice KALENDAR app, I followed the following instructions:

kalendar.zip file, unarchive it, and move into the resultant kalendar-master and then down to the /src file

then the docs said some conflicting stuff. Said I needed to run qmake. Not installed so ran the following command:

sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev

NOTE: the qt in the instructions referenced qtbase3 not five. I attempted to run sudo apt-get install qtbase3-dev but was told no such package existed.

Then ran qmake. No errors.

then ran make. Got the following return

$ make
g++ -c -pipe -std=c++11 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I. -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtWidgets -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtGui -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore -I. -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o main.o main.cpp

I have ZERO idea what I am doing here. It appears to me that either I have a qt base 3 on my system and boogered it up by installing qt5, OR the make command looks for qt3 and did not find it, OR... something else :)

Do I need to remove some packages from my system (if so, how? I already removed sqlite3 since it was stated as the offending party).

Anyone willing to take the time to explain to me the errors above ... what the machine is telling me, as well as how to fix... I will buy you a cup of your fave coffee!

Thanks in advance.

PS. I reinstalled sqlite3, and then retried the make command. same error

I think you will need to install libsqlite3-dev.

from the GitHub page

Code: Select all

Compilation

You need to have qmake. In Fedora you can find it inside the qt-devel package.

You need to install also sqlite3 developer package. In Fedora the package is called sqlite-devel.

It's very complicated, to say the least. You should also install cmake, learn how to preprocess the code with that, and take a look inside the CmakeLists.txt file in the source for necessary packages and minimum versions of same. Bad news--the name of the Debian -dev packages usually are rather different from those in that file.

It worked for me (in the first try), just follow the instructions.

BTW... Norbert has Kalendar in his repos, but you have to upgrade Plasma to more recent version

[Stevo]

To use his build, you'll need a newer Plasma, but I'll check to see if I can backport his debianization on MX 21's.

That would be great, however

Kalendar requires KFrameworks 5.88 and version 21.12 of the KDE PIM-related dependencies (e.g. Akonadi, kdepim-runtime) to be installed.

[Stevo]

I did some checking, and even Kalendar 1.0 needs a newer Plasma framework than we have in Bullseye's 5.72: 5.86. And 22.04 needs plasma 5.92.

The only way I can see for this to happen is to add the third-party Plasma update repos mentioned above to MX 21's, and I'm pretty sure Kalendar is in those repos, so you'll just need to install it with normal methods. You'll probably want to backup your system by making a snapshot or with Timeshift first, just to be safe.

Kalendar is now included in Gear 22.04 -> https://kde.org/announcements/gear/22.04.0/
