Can't install Quazip in Qt5 on unix

[roseicollis]

Hi,

I'm new with Qt and with Unix so I'm having so much problems trying to install Quazip.
As it says here: http://quazip.sourceforge.net/ you have to

$ cd /wherever/quazip/source/is/quazip-x.y.z/quazip
$ qmake [PREFIX=where-to-install]
$ make

$ cd /wherever/quazip/source/is/quazip-x.y.z/quazip
$ qmake [PREFIX=where-to-install]
$ make

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I have my project in: /home/sara/Documents/PJs/Test1 so i go there and open a terminal (so I don't have to write the cd /path
I put quazip folder there too.Then I put:
qmake /home/sara/Documents/PJs/Test1/Test1/quazip-0.7/quazip/

and then I suppose I have to put make isntall but it says:

make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Can you help me with which steps do I need to do to install that? Thank you!

qmake quazip.pro

or whatever the .pro file is called.

If you don't specify a PREFIX then it is going to /usr/local, so you might want to do something like

qmake PREFIX=/home/sara/Documents/PJs/Test1/Test1 quazip.pro

Hi anda_skoa, thank you for your reply

I wrote:

qmake PREFIX=PREFIX=/home/sara/Documents/PJs/Test1/Test1/quazip-0.7/ quazip.pro

qmake PREFIX=PREFIX=/home/sara/Documents/PJs/Test1/Test1/quazip-0.7/ quazip.pro

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

because its in quazip-0.7 where the quazip.pro file is but it says:

quazip.pro:31: Unknown test function: CONFIG

quazip.pro:31: Unknown test function: CONFIG

That doesn't look right, there is a duplicated "PREFIX=" part.

And the path given is where you want to install to, not where the sources are.
If you don't intend to call "make install" you can omit the prefix alltogether.

Just to see if that was the problem, run qmake with just the .pro file as an argument.

Or, if you have QtCreator installed, open the .pro file there and built it from there.

Hi,

Ups that was a copy paste mistake, I wrote it with only one PREFIX.

I tried some other paths before that last post I put and was the same, that's why I asked (I mean, normally I try what I think that can make it run, not only the answer gave to me if it doen't work )

I have just tried : qmake quazip.pro but it says the same : Unknown test function: CONFIG

[anda_skoa]

The line that triggers the error looks fine.

Which version of qmake are you invoking?

If you don't need a static library build you could also remove the line or put a comment character in front if it (#)

Hi,

I don't know the qmake version but I'm working with Qt5 if that helps.

[anda_skoa]

Yes, that is the interesting information anyway
But to be sure run
qmake -version

I've just downloaded and built quazip-0.7 without any problems, Qt 5.3.2 (qmake 3.0)

Alternatively have a look at KArchive: http://inqlude.org/libraries/karchive.html
