Home Page Forums MAME QMC2 history.xml support

Hi,

I added history.xml support to qmc2:
https://github.com/belegdol/qmc2-mame-fe/tree/historyxml
Does anyone have admin access to the upstream repo in order to merge a PR?

I don’t have admin access (i.e. I can’t change permissions), but I believe I have repository write access necessary for reviewing and merging pull requests.

Sounds promising. I have filed a PR: https://github.com/qmc2/qmc2-mame-fe/pull/33

Thanks for working on this. I'd love to test it. Any tips for people using distros that don't have the packages for lrelease-qt5? I can't compile it because the makefile points to lrelease-qt5 and on Ubuntu they use qtchooser to decide which lrelease to use. I'm not sure what to change in the makefile to fix this.

You can use environment variables to override I believe. I can check later for the exact value.

ETA: try adding DISTCFG=1or LRELEASE=lrelease to make call.

I'm getting this message about missing qmake-qt5

/bin/sh: 1: qmake-qt5: not found

No matter what environment variables I tried, such as what you suggested as well as QT_SELECT=qt5 and QMAKE=qmake

OK, let's try something else: go to arch/Linux, copy Ubuntu_22.04.cfg and rename it to match your Ubuntu version and then build adding DISTCFG=1.

Thanks that got me a little bit further. Now I get an error:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets

I searched this and found a thread on this forum about it but no resolution.

Any suggestions?

You have to install the corresponding -dev package. I am on Fedora so you will have to search for it yourself. I would recommend starting with qtwebengine5-dev. If this does not work, you will need to get familiar with apt query commands.

I made a PR adding build configs for current Fedora and Ubuntu versions:
https://github.com/qmc2/qmc2-mame-fe/pull/36

These packages should get you going: libqt5svg5-dev libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev libsdl2-dev qt5-qmake qtmultimedia5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qtwebengine5-dev

Thanks that was the clue I needed. I was trying to find the dev package for webenginewidgets instead of qtwebengine5.
