I am trying to compile & run okular from source with no success. I am using kubuntu 16.04 64 bits. However, in a virtual machine with kubuntu 32 bits I was able to compile it, but in my main OS I cannot.

I tried (amongst other versions of okular) to build okular-15.12.3 and okular-16.12.2, obtaining different errors. I need to compile at lest one version of okular because of the annotations tools.

With okular-15.12.3 I get the output:

Code: Select all

silvia@aspire-3820:~/kdeokular/okular-15.12.3/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kdeokular/installdir ..

With okular-16.12.2 the full compilation runs with success, but it gives a segfault on running:

Code: Select all

silvia@aspire-3820:~/kdeokular/installdir/bin$ QT_PLUGIN_PATH=~/kdeokular/installdir/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/kdeokular/installdir/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ XDG_DATA_DIRS=~/kdeokular/installdir/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS ./okular
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I would be thankful for any help.

After adding the suggestion in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51066
the compilation of okular-15.12.3 worked, i.e.:

to pass '-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=qmake-qt5' to the cmake command.
