Problem building Sigil from source

IdleTerry · 04-02-2020, 03:42 PM

Hello everyone,

I have a problem when trying to build Sigil from source on Fedora 31. I think I installed everything right, but when I enter the following command :

Code:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../sigil-src

I always get this error :

Quote:

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:746 (add_executable):
Target "sigil" links to target "Qt5::WebEngine" but the target was not
found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or
an ALIAS target is missing?

Target "sigil" links to target "Qt5::WebEngineWidgets" but the target was
not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED
target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

Do you know what is happening and how I can solve this ?

Thanks in advance

Sigil is based on having Qt5.9 or later with development headers installed on your machine (and having Qt 5.10 or later would be best). This includes the QtWebEngine module.

Yep. As mentioned, it sounds like you're missing Qt5Webengine or its development headers. I believe they'd be the qt5-webengine and qt5-webengine-devel packages on Fedora

Okay, this is an epic fail of mine, I only installed qt5-qtwebengine and not the -devel package as well

Thanks a lot

It works now !
