' /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease: not found WARNING: TARGET is empty' Error when trying to compile Feathercoin from source

Question

I am following this tip on installing feathercoin from source. I have followed all the instructions up to:

qmake 'USE_UPNP=-`
make

That is where I get the following error:

1: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease: not found
WARNING: TARGET is empty`

Below is the terminal output:

As you may have guessed from the link I am using QT4 and I am using Ubuntu 13.04 32 bit OS. They all seem to be the same kind of error. If I can some way find a way to add the missing files 'locale/bitcoin_WHICHEVER.gm' to the relevant directory or find a way to point to directories they are in then my problem would be solved. Is there a way to fix this error, I figure once it is fixed then I can compile these various bits of software from source. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I also faced both problems.

First (Cannot find file 'locale/bitcoin_WHICHEVER.qm') was solved my editing src/qt/bitcoin.qrc so that locale filenames to match existing files (replace .qm with .ts extension in references).

Second (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease: not found) was solved by install of package qttools5-dev-tools:

sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools

Now you can build witout UPnP support (qmake 'USE_UPNP=-`), but if you try to build default config or with UPnP enabled, you'll get this error:

src/net.cpp:21:32: fatal error: miniupnpc/miniwget.h: No such file or directory
#include <miniupnpc/miniwget.h>

To solve it, install libminiupnpc-dev package:

sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
