I am running debian squeeze. I am very sad that Sigil used to work great on ubuntu and debian, but now it does not.
When I try to run Sigil I get
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by ./sigil)
I understand from this thread
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=146610
that I need to build Sigil. I have been using linux for ten years, and I have never yet successfully compiled an app. There is always something missing!
Nonetheless, I am willing. So far, bloody but unbowed.
First, I discover I need CMake. Which, it turns out needs more libraries ( the very problem I am trying to solve?). Got that working.
I run
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release /home/data/DownloadedSoftware/Sigil-0.4.2-Code
I get
Could NOT find Qt4: Found unsuitable version "4.6.3", but required is at
least "4.7.0" (found /usr/bin/qmake)
I download qt 4.7.4 from
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/Qt_SDK..._v1_1_4_en.run
(( it says on this page
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/09/01/qt-4-7-4-released/
that "Qt 4.7.4 is available as part of the Qt SDK update." so I'm assuming it is all in there somewhere.))
I install qt.
I still get the same error message. No suitable qt
qt came with an installer which ran for ten minutes or so, so I have no idea what it did or where it did or did not put anything. I am now utterly out of my depth, and the time allotted to get started on adapting my writing for an ebook is several hundred percent oversused! Help urgently requested.
