I'v just changed to Neon 5.11 and i can't find a simple ISO to USB writer that i can add to the dolphin system menus. I was using mint KDE and was using mintstick, that worked great.

Im trying to install isoimagewriter https://community.kde.org/ISOImageWriter#Maintainer

the readme in the package says :-

In Linux/Mac OS X:

Go to the source directory of the project and run:

qmake
make

but when i run qmake i just get this :-

Code: Select all

greg@greg-Inspiron-5767 ~/Downloads/isoimagewriter-0.2 $ qmake
Usage: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

Mode:
  -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                 In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                 be built,
                 defaults to *.c; *.ui; *.y; *.l; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc; *.h; *.hpp; *.hh; *.hxx; *.H; *.cpp; *.cc; *.cxx; *.C
                 Note: The created .pro file probably will
                 need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                 specify what modules are required.
  -makefile      Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                 In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                 be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                 file in your current working directory

Warnings Options:
  -Wnone         Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
                 later -W options
  -Wall          Turn on all warnings
  -Wparser       Turn on parser warnings
  -Wlogic        Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
  -Wdeprecated   Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)

Options:
   * You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be     *
   * processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be parsed *
   * before [files].                                                     *
  -o file        Write output to file
  -d             Increase debug level
  -t templ       Overrides TEMPLATE as templ
  -tp prefix     Overrides TEMPLATE so that prefix is prefixed into the value
  -help          This help
  -v             Version information
  -after         All variable assignments after this will be
                 parsed after [files]
  -norecursive   Don't do a recursive search
  -recursive     Do a recursive search
  -set <prop> <value> Set persistent property
  -unset <prop>  Unset persistent property
  -query <prop>  Query persistent property. Show all if <prop> is empty.
  -cache file    Use file as cache           [makefile mode only]
  -spec spec     Use spec as QMAKESPEC       [makefile mode only]
  -nocache       Don't use a cache file      [makefile mode only]
  -nodepend      Don't generate dependencies [makefile mode only]
  -nomoc         Don't generate moc targets  [makefile mode only]


I spent all day yesterday trying to figure out how to install isoimagewriter but was unsuccessful. Can anyone please help.

Isn't isoimagewriter already packaged in Neon?

The README is outdated, as it still refers to the ROSA image writer. isoimagewriter uses cmake, not qmake.

No its not in the packages and i still cant install it

  cmake [options] <path-to-source>

Only in the dev editions (git builds), the release editions do not have it as Jon hasn't made a production release of imagewriter yet.

As for the OP: image writer binaries are linked at https://neon.kde.org/download

Cheers, iv got a few to choose from now and any of them can be added to dolphins service menu very easily with just a .desktop file in the right place.
