Qt4 is required to compile and there is no qt4 in repo for Centos 8.

Hello,

Qt4.x is required to compile SCALE6.2. But unfortunately, there is no qt4 in repo for Centos 8. Is there a workaround to this problem?

Our other clusters’ OS are Centos 7 and Qt4 is available in the repo so they are fine.

Here is the error message during configure:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1314 (message):
  Found unsuitable Qt version "" from NOTFOUND, this code requires Qt 4.x
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Hi Gokhan,

You should be able to obtain Qt4.8 from https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.7/

You will need to compile from the source. Once compiled, place the Qt/bin in the path and reconfigure SCALE.

The full Qt install is not necessary. The following Qt configure line should reduce compile time and still fulfill SCALE's requirements:

configure -prefix path/to/where/you/want/qt/installed -shared -no-script -no-webkit -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-scripttools -opensource

Best regards,

Hi Gokhan,

Which compiler and version are you using?
