SUMMARY Hello fellow community :slightly_smiling_face: I am building Ghostwriter from source but when running **cmake** it runs into an error saying "Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5LinguistTools"". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. I have followed the steps to "have the necessary packages installed for Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks" 2. The command "`cmake ..`" runs into a fatal error so I cannot continue OBSERVED RESULT ``` user@PC:~/Builds/ghostwriter/build$ cmake .. -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 12.2.0 -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ - skipped -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done -- Installing in the same prefix as Qt, adopting their path scheme. -- Setting build type to 'Debug' as none was specified. -- Looking for __GLIBC__ -- Looking for __GLIBC__ - found -- Performing Test _OFFT_IS_64BIT -- Performing Test _OFFT_IS_64BIT - Success -- Performing Test HAVE_DATE_TIME -- Performing Test HAVE_DATE_TIME - Success CMake Error at /usr/share/ECM/modules/ECMPoQmTools.cmake:149 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5LinguistTools" with any of the following names: Qt5LinguistToolsConfig.cmake qt5linguisttools-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "Qt5LinguistTools" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5LinguistTools_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.

See also "/home/user/Builds/ghostwriter/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". ``` EXPECTED RESULT No errors, so I can continue with `make` and `make install`. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux **Debian Testing**, currently on 12 'bookworm' Qt Version: Qt5? (I followed the instructions to build ghostwriter) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I would be grateful if someone could assist me :slightly_smiling_face:
Try installing the qttools5-dev package. I had thought qttools5-dev-tools would have contained the Qt5LinguistTools, but apparently not. Please report back if it works so I can update the README accordingly. Thanks!

Thank you for helping me! 😁 I have successfully installed all necessary packages but I am having a different error now 😅 Do you mind looking at it? ``` user@PC:~/Builds/ghostwriter/build$ cmake .. -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 12.2.0 -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ - skipped -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done -- Installing in the same prefix as Qt, adopting their path scheme. -- Setting build type to 'Debug' as none was specified. -- Looking for __GLIBC__ -- Looking for __GLIBC__ - found -- Performing Test _OFFT_IS_64BIT -- Performing Test _OFFT_IS_64BIT - Success -- Performing Test HAVE_DATE_TIME -- Performing Test HAVE_DATE_TIME - Success -- Using Font Awesome Free -- The following OPTIONAL packages have been found: * Qt5Core (required version >= 5.15.2) * KF5DocTools (required version >= 5.90), Tools to generate documentation -- The following REQUIRED packages have been found: * ECM (required version >= 5.90) * Qt5LinguistTools * Qt5Gui * Qt5Widgets * Qt5 (required version >= 5.15.2) -- The C compiler identification is GNU 12.2.0 -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc - skipped -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Performing Test HAVE_FLAG_ADDRESS_SANITIZER -- Performing Test HAVE_FLAG_ADDRESS_SANITIZER - Failed -- Performing Test HAVE_FLAG_SANITIZE_ADDRESS -- Performing Test HAVE_FLAG_SANITIZE_ADDRESS - Success -- Checking _FILE_OFFSET_BITS for large files -- Checking _FILE_OFFSET_BITS for large files - not needed -- Performing Test COMPILER_HAS_HIDDEN_VISIBILITY -- Performing Test COMPILER_HAS_HIDDEN_VISIBILITY - Success -- Performing Test COMPILER_HAS_HIDDEN_INLINE_VISIBILITY -- Performing Test COMPILER_HAS_HIDDEN_INLINE_VISIBILITY - Success -- Performing Test COMPILER_HAS_DEPRECATED_ATTR -- Performing Test COMPILER_HAS_DEPRECATED_ATTR - Success -- Looking for stdbool.h -- Looking for stdbool.h - found -- Performing Test HAVE___BUILTIN_EXPECT -- Performing Test HAVE___BUILTIN_EXPECT - Success -- Performing Test HAVE___ATTRIBUTE__ -- Performing Test HAVE___ATTRIBUTE__ - Success CMake Deprecation Warning at /usr/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/GenerateExportHeader.cmake:427 (message): The add_compiler_export_flags function is obsolete.

(In reply to megan.conkle from comment #1) Hello Megan, I hope you are well 🙂 Just to ask if you've had the opportunity to look at my response?
Sorry for the late reply. It looks like you need to install hunspell: > -- Found PkgConfig: /usr/bin/pkg-config (found version "1.8.1") > -- Checking for module 'hunspell' > -- Package 'hunspell', required by 'virtual:world', not found That should be libhunspell-dev on Debian (or at least, it used to be). But given you probably already did that, you can also try installing the 'hunspell' package. Maybe installing 'libhunspell-dev' didn't pull in 'hunspell' as a dependency? Let me know if that works, in which case I'll update the README documentation to include that package. Thanks!
(In reply to megan.conkle from comment #4) > Sorry for the late reply. It looks like you need to install hunspell: Hello 👋 I have re-done all steps from scratch and it works fine now 😮 Maybe it's installing "libhunspell-dev" that solved my problem. 🙂 Here's what I've done: ``` sudo apt install g++ qtbase5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev qtwebengine5-dev pkg-config libqt5concurrent5 qttools5-dev-tools qttools5-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev libkf5xmlgui-dev libkf5configwidgets-dev libkf5sonnet-dev libkf5doctools5 libkf5doctools-dev cmake extra-cmake-modules libhunspell-dev cd ghostwriter/ mkdir build cd build cmake .. sudo make -j`nproc` sudo make install ``` Thank you for your support 🙂 I wish you all the best in your projects 🍀
