Greetings
An interesting looking program and if it allows me to do some things that I would like to do with pdfs it might become a primary usage tool.
At present I'm running into some installation headaches.
I'm running a Debian bullseye (11 or testing) system as updated as apt will let me go.
First install attempt was using the debian buster packages for 1.4.8.
There were a bunch of dependencies that I needed to pull in and that's not 'fun' but was doable.
Opened scribus and then asked it to open one of my recently downloaded pdfs. Scribus promptly informed me that that just wasn't possible.
After the 3rd file being tried, these are all files likely developed on M$ systems and related products, Scribus borked and ran away (grin!).
So I went to the repository linked from the homepage and downloaded the .gz file.
I'm not very comfortable using cmake so I wasn't sure how this was going to go. Searching for ideas really didn't help as the pages I found we more about the dev team side of using cmake.
When I tried using # cmake /scribus I got this:
# cmake /scribus-1.5.5/
-- Shared Library Flags:
-- Scribus 1.5.5 will be built and installed into /usr/local
-- Machine: x86_64-linux-gnu, void pointer size: 8
-- Found target X86_64
-- Building for target x86_64-linux-gnu
-- Using standard ApplicationDataDir. You can change it with -DAPPLICATION_DATA_DIR
-- Using standard ApplicationConfigDir. You can change it with -DAPPLICATION_CONFIG_DIR
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:707 (find_package):
By not providing "FindQt5Core.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Core", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Core"
(requested version 5.7.0) with any of the following names:
Qt5CoreConfig.cmake
qt5core-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Core" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Qt5Core_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"Qt5Core" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "//CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
The error messages don't give me any ideas as to what's missing or what to do.
Suggestions - - - please?
TIA
