Compile SCALE 6.2.4 under UBUNTU 20.10

[Michael Schmid]

Hello,

I use Uthe current Ubuntu Installation 20.10. Using Fulcrum I found that there many wrong error Messages in the Validation of the Input.

Then I tried to compile SCALE 6.2.4 under the current Ubuntu Version 20.10.

The Problem is, that SCALE uses QT4 and there is no QT4 on the current Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses QT5. I suggest that's the reason for the wrong performance of Fulcrum.

Is ther anyone having a solution for this problem?

Best regards

Michael

You could add the "rock core" ppa and install qt4, as I did for Ubuntu 20.10.

https://launchpad.net/~rock-core/+archive/ubuntu/qt4

and add qt4 using sudo apt install qt4.

This will enable Fulcrum to build with qt4. Note that qt4 will exist alongside qt5. Applications that need qt5 will still use it.

Note that I had another application (elmer fem) that had a graphical interface built using qt4. I was able to use cmake-gui and set the cmake value

"DESIRED QT VERSION" to "5", and it built properly. However, I don't know if you could do this with SCALE.
