Install instruction not working

Open skal-dB opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug I tried to install VNotes following the instructions here https://app.vnote.fun/en_us/#!docs/Developers/Build%20VNote.md but it doesn't work.

To Reproduce Following given instructions for installing Qt first

usr@mint:~$ sudo apt-get update -qq
usr@mint:~$ sudo apt-get -y install qt512base qt512webengine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package qt512base
E: Unable to locate package qt512webengine

Expected behavior Installing Qt, then VNotes.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon
  • Version 21.3

I also tried with apt instead of apt-get, it's the same result.

Typing this finally works

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install qt5-default
sudo apt install qtcreator
sudo apt install qt5-doc qt5-doc-html qtbase5-doc-html qtbase5-examples

1h and I ain't even start trying to install VNotes... Flatpack would be so much easier.

Now I'm trying to install VNotes, I'm still following instructions but still doesn't work as expected.

I'm following these steps now

cd vnote.git
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../vnote.pro
make
sudo make install

3 first lines goes fine, then this happens with qmake ../vnote.pro

usr@mint:~/vnote.git/build$ qmake ../vnote.pro
qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

I'll try again one day, but I just spent 1h30 trying to install a note app, it's too much. Not sure how newbies should do. Do I already praised for a Flatpack version ?
