How do I satisify the qt5-tools dependence for steam deck steamos? pacman -Ss qt5-tools already shows it's installed on the system but running

yay -S edb-debugger

the output at some point down the line will still barf this CMake error:

-- Looking for C++ include double-conversion/double-conversion.h - not found

Please advise Thanks

It's just cmake 4 complaining, because "Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake."

Are you using cmake 3.5 for some other projects?

fixed, thanks!

Hello, I have trouble building the package as-is.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

Applying -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 in prepare() as suggested fixes the issue.

Thanks @revel and @emanuele6 for fixing the issues :D

thank you for fixing the problems

fixed, thanks for reporting it the plugin path worked for me because the built files were still there, so the quick sanity check proved not to be enough

Actually, it looks like there was a patch that fixed that issue in the AUR package, but it was removed with the commit that upgrades to 1.5.0

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/diff/cmake-fixes.patch?h=edb-debugger&id=0bc01216b96a5f2436ba4e4aa78ed6492df58d48

It seems, at least the part of that patch that allows setting the default plugin directory is still needed. :-)

EDIT:

That patch has been upstreamed, so it is not longer needed

https://github.com/eteran/edb-debugger/commit/64fca61fdd7eb4ab5c8159271d9d053ca0a15cb6

The problem is that you still need to pass -DDEFAULT_PLUGIN_DIR=/usr/lib/edb/ to cmake; the PKGBUILD used to do that, but that was also removed with the upgrade to 1.5.0 by mistake

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/diff/PKGBUILD?h=edb-debugger&id=0bc01216b96a5f2436ba4e4aa78ed6492df58d48

Yes, from 1.5.0, qt5-tools is required as a make dependency; I also had to install it.

But even after installing it, I got a non-working edb:

$ edb
[load_plugins] Failed to extract plugin meta data from '/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'
Starting edb version: 1.5.0
Please Report Bugs & Requests At: https://github.com/eteran/edb-debugger/issues

And in the GUI, I see a pop-up that says the following:

Failed to successfully load the debugger core plugin. Please make sure it exists and that the plugin path is correctly configured. This is normal if edb has not been previously run or the configuration file has been removed.

I found this 3-year-old issue on the edb debug that describes the same problem, but does not say much useful: https://github.com/eteran/edb-debugger/issues/782

A settings window also opened automatically with the pop-up; in the "Directories" tab, I saw that "Plugin Directory" is set to "/home/emanuele6/.cache/yay/edb-debugger/pkg/edb-debugger/usr/lib/edb" instead of "/usr/lib/edb".

Changing that resolves the issue. I assume you need to set a new configure option to make the default "Plugin Directory" /usr/lib/edb instead of a subdirectory of the build directory.
