#925 smplayer failed to compile: error: Makefile:4131: recipe for target '.obj/globalshortcuts.o' failed

[Axel Pätzke]

Hi folks, I followed every single step in your install.txt (get all neccesary pakets, installed QT5). But, unfortunately, I got this error during compilation: Makefile:4131: recipe for target '.obj/globalshortcuts.o' failed. So, the building of a .deb File fails. Is there a missing file ?
How to fix this ?
Thank's in advance.

Sorry, I've forgotten: the following error message has come, also by compiling:
debian/rules:34: recipe for target 'build-stamp' failed
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
dh_clean: Compatibility levels before 9 are deprecated (level 5 in use)
What does this mean ?

Be sure the package qtbase5-private-dev is installed.

Hi Ricardo, thank's for your informations. And yes, that package was missing. After I installed it I made a new ./create_deb.sh.
Now I became different error messages:
a) install: Aufruf von stat für 'src/translations/.qm' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Makefile:40: recipe for target 'install' failed
make[1]: [install] Error 1
That's weird. The directory translations exist under smplayer-19.5.0/src/translations/
b)
lrelease: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/lrelease': No such file or directory
True, also: the file lrelease doesn*t exist...
Makefile:27: recipe for target 'src/smplayer' failed
make[1]: [src/smplayer] Error 1
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/home/axpa/Projekte/MEDIA/smplayer-19.5.0“ wird verlassen
debian/rules:34: recipe for target 'build-stamp' failed
make: ** [build-stamp] Error 2
but further on it shows:
touch build-stamp | ?????
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean -k
dh_clean: Compatibility levels before 9 are deprecated (level 5 in use)
dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead
dh_clean: This feature will be removed in compat 12.
dh_installdirs
dh_installdirs: Compatibility levels before 9 are deprecated (level 5 in use)

Thank you for your further investigation in that.

Be sure the package qttools5-dev-tools is also installed.

[Axel Pätzke]

That does the trick ! Thank you very much.
Man can close this ticket as solved.
