Fail building Kstars - Breeze-icons

Help
1

Hi all!
Testing a merge request (1490), try to to re-compile Kstars after a “git mr 1490” using KDE-Builder but face error on "Breeze-Icons” failed to build. Here is error log if you can help me.

kde-builder running: ‘ninja’ ‘-j’ ‘1’

from directory: /home/astronaut/kde/build/breeze-icons

with environment: /home/astronaut/kde/build/breeze-icons/kde-builder.env

ninja: error: rebuilding ‘build.ninja’: ‘/home/astronaut/kde/src/breeze-icons/src/tools/qrcAlias.cpp’, needed by ‘/home/astronaut/kde/build/breeze-icons/src/tools/qrcAlias_autogen/mocs_compilation.cpp’, missing and no known rule to make it

exit code was: 256

”KDE-Builder –pretend kstars” gave no error
Initial build of Kstars was successful so i guess something wrong now.

Is it a issue on my side ?
Sorry i’m a newbie in git/kde-builder, just an astro geek;-)

Thanks for your feedback, ready to give details/comment if needed

The path./kde/src/breeze-icons/src/tools/qrcAlias.cpp does not exist

Only this one is correct ./kde/src/breeze-icons/tools/qrcAlias.cpp

Moving the source files to the requested path does solve partially untill the next issue….

New issue: /usr/lib/LibQt6Core.so.6.9.2 missing and no known rule to make it
Seems related to QT6….but qt6-base package well installed

Appreciate your help, thanks a lot

Maybe try a clean build? Kde-builder might have an option for that or you could just delete the build directory of whatever’s giving you problems and rebuild.

You have the good idea Mark! Almost done now, breeze-icons is building well
Now i have another & reproduced issue during kstars built (the last module 41/41)

/home/astronaut/kde/src/kstars/kstars/ekos/guide/internalguide/MPI_IS_gaussian_process/src/gaussian_process.cpp:375:5: note: ‘assert’ is defined in header ‘’; this is probably fixable by adding ‘#include ’
/home/astronaut/kde/src/kstars/kstars/ekos/guide/internalguide/MPI_IS_gaussian_process/src/gaussian_process.cpp: In member function ‘Eigen::VectorXd GP::predict(const Eigen::MatrixXd&, const Eigen::MatrixXd&, const Eigen::MatrixXd&, Eigen::VectorXd*) const’:
/home/astronaut/kde/src/kstars/kstars/ekos/guide/internalguide/MPI_IS_gaussian_process/src/gaussian_process.cpp:435:13: error: ‘assert’ was not declared in this scope
435 | assert(R.size() > 0);

I don’t know how to trouble shoot this issue. Really need to tackle and build , i know my RPI5 is able to build this package!

I’ve clean up the build & src directory but always fail building Kstars (all dependencies ok)

How can I share the log?

@mrp do you how I can build a specific branch of Kstars i.e 3.7.8 or 3.7.9 just to perform a different build

I try to specify - - branch but fail (no source code for dependencies)

I don’t use kde-builder and I haven’t built KStars, so not sure how much help I can offer. The way I would build a specific branch, is go to the KStars source directory and git switch to the branch I wanted, then go to the build directory and build with ninja or cmake --build .
