Installing Scribus 1.5.x on raspberry pi (Raspberry Pi OS)

[computerartclub]

I need to get Scribus 1.5.x working on a raspberry pi 4, but so far I have only been able to install 1.4.x
I used the terminal to install Scribus and got 1.4
In the terminal I also tried scribus-ng but it also installed 1.4.x
I downloaded the appimage from the 1.5.x page but the downloaded file is also 1.4.7.tar.xz

There was a post from 2017 and someone suggested compiling it though I have never done that before.
Is compiling the only way to go?
I haven't been able to find any good resources on how to compile an app for the raspberry pi, if that is the way to go, could someone help me out and send me some links?

Thanks!

So I kept trying. The closest thing to success was by downloading the source and running:

Code Select Expand


sudo apt install cmake
cd /home/pi/Desktop/scribus-1.5.7
mkdir build
cd build
~/Desktop/scribus-1.5.7/build $ cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..


I got the following error

CMake Error at CMakeLists_Dependencies.cmake:13 (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 5.14.0) 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.



So I tried to install QTCore5 using a few different methods, but the most successful was the guide/script from here:
https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Raspberrypi_beginners_guide&redirect=no

Which gave me the following error when i ran the bash script :

Actually, links from another site gave me similar errors. It seems to me that the dependancies are no longer online?

So next steps, I managed to download /gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf online, it wouldn't unzip but I found this page online: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2357138

Unzipped the file, but couldn't see how to install it.
Tried to install QT5 again with the script and same error. So that is where I am right now.

Tried doing:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

So I have solved the problem by using a Flatpak from flathub.org. It doesn't load when I click on the desktop shortcut, but it loads if I use the terminal. I successfully managed to open up one of my documents from 1.5.x. Now I just need to install the necessary fonts.

If you have any suggestions about the shortcut issue or you think there is a better alternative, let me know.
Hopefully this will help someone!
How do I mark this as solved?
