calibre develop on gentoo
Hi Kovid,
I've decided to do my development on gentoo, but it turns out that preparing the environment is not a trivial task... I'm using code cloned from github and trying to get calibre development installed. The OS is 64bit, lxde with no kde or anything like that. At first I got Code:
[tomek ~/calibre]$ sudo python2.7 setup.py develop Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 13, in <module> import setup.commands as commands File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/commands.py", line 28, in <module> from setup.translations import POT, GetTranslations, Translations, ISO639, ISO3166 File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/translations.py", line 14, in <module> from setup.parallel_build import parallel_check_output File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/parallel_build.py", line 13, in <module> from setup.build_environment import cpu_count File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/build_environment.py", line 84, in <module> qraw = subprocess.check_output([QMAKE, '-query']).decode('utf-8') File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 566, in check_output process = Popen(stdout=PIPE, *popenargs, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1327, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Got qt overlay installed to get qt5 (emerge @qt5-essentials). So now I have a qmake: Code:
[tomek ~/calibre]$ which qmake /usr/bin/qmake [tomek ~/calibre]$ equery b /usr/bin/qmake * Searching for /usr/bin/qmake ... dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20140613 (/usr/bin/qmake -> qtchooser) dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20140613 (/usr/bin/qtchooser) [tomek ~/calibre]$ sudo python2.7 setup.py develop Password: qmake: could not find a Qt installation of '' Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 13, in <module> import setup.commands as commands File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/commands.py", line 28, in <module> from setup.translations import POT, GetTranslations, Translations, ISO639, ISO3166 File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/translations.py", line 14, in <module> from setup.parallel_build import parallel_check_output File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/parallel_build.py", line 13, in <module> from setup.build_environment import cpu_count File "/home/tomek/calibre/setup/build_environment.py", line 84, in <module> qraw = subprocess.check_output([QMAKE, '-query']).decode('utf-8') File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 573, in check_output raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd, output=output) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/usr/bin/qmake', '-query']' returned non-zero exit status 1 [tomek ~/calibre]$ qmake -query qmake: could not find a Qt installation of '' [tomek ~/calibre]$ echo $? 1 but there is another one, buried somewhere outside of $PATH: Code:

You dont need to install anything. Just install the official calibre binary from http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux, that will acts as its own complete runtime.
See the instructions here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html |

You can just use the binaries from the main website, and use the CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM variable to run the source code from your GitHub clone.
Much easier than messing around with setting up the compilation yourself. Also, see Fully automatic calibre installer/updater for linux to keep the binaries updated (necessary when C++ extensions are updated). |

Thanks, using the CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM should be sufficient.
