Lrelease absent in qt6-tools?

ejikVT · 31 May 2024 08:30

In qt5-tools there is lrelease version 5.15.13
Where is the version for qt6? It seems qt6-tools don’t come with it or am i missing something?

qt6.qtbase: qmake looking for lrelease in wrong package

0.kind: bug

### Describe the bug When using Qt6's `qmake` to build a project that compiles …its localisation with ~ this QMake code ```pro TRANSLATIONS += lang_fr.ts CONFIG += lrelease ``` compilation fails due to `qmake` emitting the wrong path to `lrelease`: ``` make[1]: Entering directory '/build/source/BambooTracker' /nix/store/axbwbk9697fzj4akqajbh1sw653c72yl-qtbase-6.4.2-dev/bin/lrelease lang/bamboo_tracker_fr.ts -qm .qm/bamboo_tracker_fr.qm /nix/store/qqa28hmysc23yy081d178jfd9a1yk8aw-bash-5.2-p15/bin/bash: line 1: /nix/store/axbwbk9697fzj4akqajbh1sw653c72yl-qtbase-6.4.2-dev/bin/lrelease: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [Makefile:1358: .qm/bamboo_tracker_fr.qm] Error 127 ``` The path it expects `lrelease` to be at is `<qt6.qtbase.dev>/bin/lrelease`, while it's actually at `<qt6.qttools.dev>/bin/lrelease`. With Qt5, this works fine: ``` make[1]: Entering directory '/build/source/BambooTracker' /nix/store/qyf983nr7l3mr8788486d1vv8w7y7qn5-qttools-5.15.8-dev/bin/lrelease lang/bamboo_tracker_fr.ts -qm .qm/bamboo_tracker_fr.qm Updating '.qm/bamboo_tracker_fr.qm'... ``` ### Steps To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Find a package that should build on both Qt5 and Qt6 via qmake (See Additional context for an example) 2. `nix-build --no-out-link -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; libsForQt5.callPackage ./that-package.nix { }'` works 3. `nix-build --no-out-link -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; qt6Packages.callPackage ./that-package.nix { }'` fails ### Expected behavior `qmake` knows where to find `lrelease`. ### Screenshots n/a ### Additional context <details> <summary>bambootracker, adjusted to build with Qt5 and Qt6:</summary> ```nix { stdenv , lib , fetchFromGitHub , qmake , pkg-config , qttools , qtbase , qt5compat ? null , rtaudio , rtmidi , wrapQtAppsHook }: assert (lib.versionAtLeast qtbase.version "6.0") -> qt5compat != null; stdenv.mkDerivation rec { pname = "bambootracker"; version = "0.6.1"; src = fetchFromGitHub { owner = "BambooTracker"; repo = "BambooTracker"; rev = "v${version}"; fetchSubmodules = true; sha256 = "sha256-Ymi1tjJCgStF0Rtseelq/YuTtBs2PrbF898TlbjyYUw="; }; nativeBuildInputs = [ pkg-config qmake qttools wrapQtAppsHook ]; buildInputs = [ qtbase rtaudio rtmidi ] ++ lib.optionals (lib.versionAtLeast qtbase.version "6.0") [ qt5compat ]; qmakeFlags = [ "CONFIG+=system_rtaudio" "CONFIG+=system_rtmidi" ]; postConfigure = "make qmake_all"; # Manually wrapping on Darwin dontWrapQtApps = stdenv.hostPlatform.isDarwin; postInstall = lib.optionalString stdenv.hostPlatform.isDarwin '' mkdir -p $out/Applications mv $out/{bin,Applications}/BambooTracker.app ln -s $out/{Applications/BambooTracker.app/Contents/MacOS,bin}/BambooTracker wrapQtApp $out/Applications/BambooTracker.app/Contents/MacOS/BambooTracker ''; meta = with lib; { description = "A tracker for YM2608 (OPNA) which was used in NEC PC-8801/9801 series computers"; homepage = "https://bambootracker.github.io/BambooTracker/"; license = licenses.gpl2Plus; platforms = platforms.all; maintainers = with maintainers; [ OPNA2608 ]; mainProgram = "BambooTracker"; }; } ``` </details> ### Notify maintainers @milahu @NickCao ### Metadata ```console [user@system:~]$ nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" - system: `"x86_64-linux"` - host os: `Linux 5.15.89-xanmod1, NixOS, 22.11 (Raccoon), 22.11.2050.cc4bb87f545` - multi-user?: `yes` - sandbox: `yes` - version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.11.1` - channels(bt1cn): `"unstable"` - channels(root): `"nixos-22.11"` - nixpkgs: `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos` ```

So they’ve fixed it NixOS. Great for them, what about Manjaro though?

Olli · 31 May 2024 09:22

not sure on what branch you are. if you need the newest stuff then you should switch to unstable/testing branch while stable is always a little bit behind.

ejikVT · 31 May 2024 09:29

Are you telling me that testing branch has no such problem and you have newer version of lrelease? Can you confirm that by doing ls /usr/bin/lrelease* you’ll see qt6 version in there?

Olli · 31 May 2024 09:31

i’m still on qt5 and i have no reason to switch to qt6.

soundofthunder · 31 May 2024 09:35

If the problem exists, it is more likely to be addressed in Unstable/Testing; that being the case, you would need to wait for any possible fix to finally reach Stable.

I believe this is basically what @Olli was attempting to have you understand.

Perhaps this is relevant:

According to pamac, there’s no lrelease-qt6 and the current version is provided by qt5-tools. (Unstable branch)

linux-aarhus · 31 May 2024 09:58

On my system lrelease exist owned by qt6-tools - only the qt5 version is in the path though

 $ pamac search -f --no-aur lrelease
/usr/bin/lrelease is owned by qt5-tools
/usr/bin/lrelease-pro is owned by qt5-tools
/usr/bin/lrelease-pro-qt5 is owned by qt5-tools
/usr/bin/lrelease-qt5 is owned by qt5-tools
/usr/lib/qt/mkspecs/features/lrelease.prf is owned by qt5-base
/usr/share/doc/qt6/qtlinguist/linguist-lrelease.html is owned by qt6-doc
/usr/share/doc/qt6/qtlinguist/qtlinguist-cmake-qt-add-lrelease.html is owned by qt6-doc
/usr/lib/qt6/bin/lrelease is owned by qt6-tools
/usr/lib/qt6/lrelease-pro is owned by qt6-tools
/usr/lib/qt6/mkspecs/features/lrelease.prf is owned by qt6-base
/usr/share/qtcreator/externaltools/lrelease.xml is owned by qtcreator

Thank you! Manjaro should have a symlink for it as well.
designer6 also has no *.desktop file.
