1.10.2 build fails on CentOS 6.8

[old-linux]

I'm unable to build makemkv-oss-1.10.2 on CentOS 6.8.
(makemkv-oss-1.10.1 builds and works as expected.)

configure output :

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be very welcome.

Did you get anywhere? I'm experiencing the same error with the same version of CentOS.

[ghost2097]

Building with the qt5 libraries from the EPEL repo works.

I have not managed to build with the qt4 libraries yet.

[Bekar]

On a CentOS box using EPEL QT4 libraries

With 1.10.4, I had the same issue.

I cheated and commented out the code block starting at 116 and ending at 128 (of makemkvgui/src/dirselectbox.cpp).

As shown in the make in the OP's post, line 123 is the culprit:

Code: Select all

if (dir.endsWith(appendName)) {

Reading it through, it's fairly innocuous, but something there needs casting properly. If someone knows QT better than I do and can fix that line, that would be great!

From what I can read, it's removing a string that is getting automatically appended if you type it there.

From my testing, it works OK without the block, but i'm sure there's a small landmine in there somewhere that will cause me grief if I misuse it.

The announcement for 1.10.4 still calls for "qt4 or qt5". Perhaps it builds successfully on
some version of qt4 somewhere ... but on a fully up to date CentOS 6.8 with qt4 and no
qt5 makmkv-oss-1.10.4 still fails to build for me (as does 1.10.3 and 1.10.2).

I finally tried installing the CentOS 6 EPEL package "qt5-qtbase-devel". Adding that also
installs packages qt5-qtbase-common, qt5-qtbase, qt5-qtbase-gui, and qt5-rpm-macros.

This now lets me build and install makemkv-oss-1.10.4 on CentOS 6.8 with no error.
(I've not yet completed testing the executable but at this point I'm wildly optimistic.)
