Calibre on debian armv7

[fiuwe]

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile calibre for my armv7 board with debian.
I'm stuck on this step :

####### Building headless QPA plugin #######

I also noticed at this point that it is still using QT4 instead of QT5.
Any one could help me to point it to Qt5 ?
Any one could help me in general ?

Thanks in advance

I don't know what the deal is there, but I can tell you ArchLinuxArm has worked pretty well in the experience of several people who took my advice.

ArchLinux maintains bleeding-edge everything and calibre is no exception. ArchLinuxArm already has an ARM build of calibre.
(I have issues with the parent project's PKGBUILD, but at least they also make it extremely easy to rebuild it yourself and fix those problems.)

Your distribution is missing the Qt private headers, which calibre needs.

Hi, I recompile QT with everything needed ...
Which version of calibre is there with Arch ?

Because also in debian there is an old version ( 0.8.x) but I need the last version 2.31.0 ...

Thanks for info ...

[eschwartz]

Bleeding-edge everything == calibre 2.31.0

And with makepkg (provided with pacman) it would anyways be trivial to bump the version number and rebuild the package yourself.

Thanks a lot...
I'll give it a try ...
