Re: [Qgis-developer] Downloading compiling QGIS - FEEDBACK
OK, using the instructions below, it all went pretty smoothly except for
the few points below.
Mega-thanks to all who contributed to 'Building QGIS from source' document.
As I said below, I was using a fresh install of 64 bit Ubuntu 14.10 Desktop.
Points noted:
* The version levels of some of the build tools dependencies in my
install were LOWER than required by this 'Building QGIS' document.
* Perhaps notes on how to get newer versions (than those in the 'Main'
repository) of these tools and dependencies would help. I just
ignored these versions, and carried on ahead.
* Add ccache, python-psycopg2 and python-gdal to the list for apt-get
in section 3.3
* In section 3.6 maybe mention the size of the git checkout and how to
minimise it for those who need to.
* In 3.7 mention explicitly that setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is in
the ccmake panel and not as an environment variable :-)
I missed that finer point of this and had to sudo make install - and
then qgis wouldn't run, so I deleted everything in my 'build-master'
and then woke up as to where to set the ${HOME}/apps pointer.
* I ran make make install as root even though I probably need not have.
* You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ${HOME}/apps/lib before your
compiled qgis will run.
Hope these findings helps someone.

Zoltan

Zoltan,
Jump on IRC is normally a good way if you have trouble with building.
Some of us normally hang around there, or of course you can still
email the mailing list.

Hi Matthias
Thanks for the confirmation.
I'm just feeling around at the moment - and not worried about
the download size.
Are the instructions I am following still current?
If I find stuff that I feel maybe missing (ie: things don't go
according to my expectations from the instructions), is there
anyone particular I should notify?
Cheers for now,
Zoltan (The emigrant one :-) )

Hi Zoltan,
That is correct.
It is not compressed to 44 objects. It is just compressing (packing) 44
objects it has not compressed yet.
But git downloads the whole history for you since the very first version
of QGIS anyway. That is fine if you are going to develop and want to
keep track of what has been done when etc.
If you are worried about the download size, you can either use --depth 1
when cloning
http://gistflow.com/posts/430-git-clone-without-history
or just download the zip file of the branch you are interested on the
github project page.

Hi,
My platform is a fresh 64 bit Ubuntu 14.10 desktop install.
I am following these instructions:
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html
Using anonymous checkout, I get told that there are 271040 objects.
This is then compressed to 44 objects
Download begins, but is tracking the 271040 objects instead of the 44.
Is this correct or should it be downloading what I assume to be the
271040 objects that were compressed into 44 objects?
Regards TIA,
Zoltan

When I do start this locally compiled qgis, I do get the following error:
Python error: Couldn't load plugin 'processing' blah blah
and in QGIS plugins it says 'processing' is broken: Couldn't find module
psycopg2
but QGIS does power up when I close the error window.
Hope these findings helps someone.
