That works under Slacko. I tried to get it to compile but it didn't work.

Not tested in slacko.

these are for tahrpup but may work in slacko
32bit http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/pet_packages-tahr/qt-5.2.1_i386.sfs
64bit http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/pet_packages-tahr64/qt5-5.5.1_amd64.sfs
with the 64bit version you may need to

[Chili Dog]

Thanks. I'll try it out.

Chilli is right doesn't work even if you rearrange the sfs file and edit the /lib to lib64/. I even changed the /opt to /lib64 and still didn't do the trick. Just a big waste of 3 hours.

the qt5 sfs's for tahrpup half work for slacko. some apps do some don't.
might be better to try one of these

Chili Dog, were you successful with QT5 in Slacko ? Which apps did you try ?
Feed back to francophones will be mailed here

qt5 has some extra requirements as it can call up other components if needed to run a user package. I suspect one or more maybe missing.

I have found the best way to generically test for missing 'requirements' is to :-

1- go into your /usr/share/applications
2- look for the menu itemIcon your starting
3- open the script file in geany
4- open a console screen (I do this in a separate window so I can switch back without the possability of corrupting my working application) and change the console to your qt5's bin directory
5- highlite or copy the line starting after Exec= (about line6) and see what it says, if it includes a %1 etc that's the package that you want to start and you need to replace the %1 with it
6- paste/type it all into your console screen (use full paths please)
7- hit your enter key and see what appears or evolves

it may tell you what you also need, give a help message, ask for extra 'switches (the -nnn bits), or even just ask for the package you want to open with the application

you can also find with qt5 that there is compatability problems between compiled versions. there were a few problems back around and before 5.3.1. If your package was written properly, it should tell you what one you need, especially if the currrent qt5 is too new.

try this first and if it gives errors back that should give some guidance.

attach/copy the output if you can't sort it out and I shall keep an eye for a while on this thread.

btw you shouldn't mix 32bit and 64bit code with qt5 as some of it is handled differantly, it can really get itself in a cloverleaf-knot!

Reviving this thread, because it seems it is sort of important if the world of puppy-slacko is going to remain relevant with quite a bit of programs:


Any chance anyone found any answer for Chili's original question in this thread?

I've tried alienware's (phil's link) and even tried compiling qt5 in slacko64, and it was (like another poster in this thread wrote) a fantastic waste of 3-4 hours trying to get everything to work.

So the question remains: is there even a qt5 (or qt5-common) .pet and/or sfs that exists for any puppy slacko64 version of these past few years?? Scabz's 32-bit version (via Watchdog's link) gives it a go in 32-bit, but, sadly, at today's recent past year 32-slacko releases, it too is failing.

@belham2
Qt 5.6.1-1 for Slacko 700 ( 32 bit )

[watchdog]

I used a modded alien2puppy script to build a qt5-with_webkit-5.6.1-x86_64-s14.2.sfs from packages downloaded by ppm in slacko64 700 beta 3. It's working for me because I downloaded calibre (which needs qt5) and it is working in my install. I propose it for testing.

Maybe worth trying?:
