qtcreator install awry in portjail - PC-BSD Forums

dcole · #1 08-01-2012, 09:43 PM

Hello,
I am a new PCBSD user trying to play around with using it as a developmetn environment.

I have just spent a few hours building qtcreator in portjail. This completed successfully as far as I can tell, as I can now "portjail run qtcreator" and the application launches.

The small problem is that anywhere there is supposed to be text showing in qtcreator, I am getting a square, as if the font is missing perhaps? Can someone advise how I can find out if/what something is missing, and get that repaired?

Thanks

Yes, that sounds like missing fonts in the jail. You may wish to add these:

/usr/ports/x11-fonts/dejavu
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/webfonts
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts

Thanks, I will give that a try and report back...the fonts are installing now. I didn't think about it being a difference between the system and the portjail fonts - I had actually went ahead and installed gnome since that is where i have used qtcreator before, thinking it might install some different fonts and such as well.

Well, I have now gotten the fonts to show up, but something else weird is going on. When I run it, the application is flickering and spitting out an error message that says

Code:

"QNativeImages: Unable to attach to shared memory segment."

followed by a bunch of

Code:

"X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window Parameter) 9......"

Any ideas? have you successfully installed this port before? I was thinking of trying again on a newer computer I have. This is an old centrino laptop, so I don't know if that could be causing an issue.

We do have a PBI for QtCreator in the AppCafe if you want to run it on your main system instead of a portjail.
As to the portjail issue however: how are you starting up the program in the portjail? It almost looks like it is not seeing the X Window to display the program.

Well I had initially tried to pull QtCreator from the AppCafe and that's what got me going down the road of building the port because it was having issues as well. I was launching with

Code:

 portjail run qtcreator

, after having allowed my user with

Code:

xhost +local:user

I ended up upgrading to the 9.1 release, and using the AppCafe version of QtCreator and it worked right the first time.

A new version of the QtCreator PBI was just approved within the last couple days, that is probably why it works properly for you now. If you run into any missing libs or anything, just let me know and I can get it fixed for you (although I am pretty sure that it has everything it needs now).
