VCPKG process fails while compiling QCA dependency

Ask the Community
1

Hi everyone,

I’m really sorry to bother the community, but I’m not able to compile QField throughout the vcpkg compilation processes. The compilation always fails at the step of compiling Qca dependency. After much research, I haven’t been able to find the solution to this.

This issue occurs when compiling the project for Android on a Manjaro Linux distro as well as when compiling for iOS on macOS. However, the docker image for android using Ubuntu works well.

Am I forgetting a step or something ?

Sincerely,

Hi GeoCode-Dev, can you share the exact commands you are running and the errors you are getting?

Hi. Thanks a lot for the reply.

So, on Manjora Linux. I’ve tried to compile QField outside of the given docker script (witch works well), and it’s always failing at task around 66 up to 88. It’s when “vcpkg” try to compile “Qca”.

So, the commands are those:

echo -e "y" | /opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager "ndk;22.1.7171670"  # For ndk installation (Qt5 requirement)

echo -e "y" | sudo pacman -Sy --needed jdk8-openjdk && sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk # To set up Java 8 (Qt5 requirement)

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/opt/android-sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670/ # Export ndk

cmake -S /opt/qfield -B /opt/qfield/qfield-build-android -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=arm64-android -DWITH_VCPKG=ON -DSYSTEM_QT=ON # To compile the dependencies with VCPKG

Then, i get this message on the terminal :

On macOS to get the iOS app, I adapt the commands for the system but the error message is the same. So it doesn’t seem to come from the system but maybe something I’ve missed ?

Hi Matthias,

I’ve tried many things, but still, outside the docker script the compilation process fails when building Qca.

So for more information, I’ve tried to build QField for iOS on macOS Ventura with this command:

cmake -S . -B build-arm64-ios -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/marc/Documents/qt5/5.15.2/ios/lib/cmake/Qt5 -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=arm64-ios -GXcode -DWITH_VCPKG=ON -DSYSTEM_QT=ON -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH:STRING=%{Qt:QT_INSTALL_PREFIX} -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=iphoneos -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64

Then the log files return this error. It looks like “CMake” can’t find Qt directory even thought I’ve specified the path in the command. Did someone manage to overcome this issue ?

`-- Building Qt 5 version
CMake Error at /Users/marc/Documents/qfield/build-arm64-ios/vcpkg_installed/arm64-ios/share/qt5/vcpkg-cmake-wrapper.cmake:94 (_find_package):

Add the installation prefix of “Qt5” to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set “Qt5_DIR”
to a directory containing one of the above files. If “Qt5” provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.`

Strange, did you follow the steps in the ios build guide, in particular the aqt install-qt and export Qt5_DIR commands?

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your help. So, I needed to adapt the commands a bit, but overall, I’ve successfully compiled all the dependencies. However, I’ve reached another issue almost at the end of cmake configuration. After trying many possibilities, I didn’t see where this issue could come from. Have you seen something similar ?

Full shell commands :

`cd Documents && git clone GitHub - opengisch/QField: A simplified touch optimized interface for QGIS qfield && cd qfield

pip3 install aqtinstall && aqt install-qt mac ios 5.15.2 -O qt5 -m qtcharts

export PATH=“$(brew --prefix flex)/bin:$PATH” && export PATH=“$(brew --prefix bison)/bin:$PATH”

export Qt5_DIR=/Users/marc/Documents/qfield/qt5/5.15.2/ios/

cmake -S . -B build-arm64-ios
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/marc/Documents/qfield/qt5/5.15.2/ios/lib/cmake/Qt5

-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64

And the issue about PROJ version configuration :

`-- Found Libtasn1: /Users/marc/Documents/qfield/build-arm64-ios/vcpkg_installed/arm64-ios/include

That is something that is not perfect in the ios build system. You can mitigate it by manually editing the file build/CMakeFiles/[version]/CMakeSystem.cmake and adjusting a variable, unfortuantely I’m not completely sure which one it was, possibly CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR.

Hi Matthias,

Thanks a lot for the help. I’ve successfully managed to build and install a custom QField on my devices.

I’ve made a pull request on the main branch in which one I have added all the needed steps into the build guide (qfield/doc/dev.md).

Sincerely,
