Qt lib check

[kb2623]

I am having problems building SimpleIDE. I build propeller-gcc and Qt 5.4.2 from source, but when I am trying to build the SimpleIDE I get error when I try to run plinrelease.sh script. I suspect that the problem lies somewhere in:

QMAKE=`which qmake`
QT5QMAKE=`echo ${QMAKE} | grep -i 'Qt5'`
grep -i 'Qt5' ${QMAKE}
if test $? != 0 ; then
    echo "The qmake program must be Qt5.4 or higher vintage."
    echo "Please adjust PATH to include a Qt5 build if necessary."
    echo "Please install Qt5.4 from here if you don't have it already:"
    echo "download.qt.io./official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.2"
    exit 1
fi

For checking qt version a different command should be used. I think that the best command for version check should be qmake -v.

Same problem here.
Linux Mint 20 - 5.4.0-42-generic. QMake version 3.1. Using Qt version 5.12.8 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

I simply deleted this whole section of plinrelease and it got stuck at
'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:399: SimpleIDE] Error 1
make failed.
'
Fixed this by installing package: zlib1g-dev

Then got stuck at
'
/bin/sh: 1: openspin: not found
make: *** [Makefile:154: /home/brian/Desktop/proploader-linux-build/obj/IP_Loader.h] Error 127
./plinrelease.sh: 211: popd: not found
cp: cannot stat '../proploader-linux-build/bin/proploader': No such file or directory
../proploader-linux-build/bin/proploader is missing. Build it?
'
Which I fixed by running the script as 'sudo bash plinrelease.sh' instead of 'sudo ./plinrelease.sh'

Then got stuck at
'

Now if I copy the proploader directory created by the scripts into the proploader-linux-build/bin directory - also created by the scripts - and run the plinrelease.sh again the scripts reach a done point, but nothing seems to be installed and simpleide command does not work.

This entire installation process seems broken and does not match the documentation at all.

OK... so now I found where it installed it. It compiled everything into a folder named SimpleIDE-1.1.2/SimpleIDE-1-1-2 - where there was a setup.sh script. ran that and finally I can make simpleide open up - but now it has no propeller-elf-gcc compiler, doesn't have the propeller load folder, and no "simple-ide library package" so it's pretty much useless. I can't for the life of me find the compiler in any of the installed files.

Ready to give up. Any help would be appreciated.
