I've tried to follow https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Building_on_Linux/UNIX to build openscad from source, but when I get to qmake, it complains that there are two modes and does nothing. I think it is missing an input file in the instructions, but when I look I cannot find any .pro files except in the OpenCGS submodules. Does anyone have suggestions? There is also a decades old note from: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/252 to set the variables by "source scripts/setenv-unibuild.sh qt5" Also, I am still getting the error /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libharfbuzz.a(libharfbuzz_la-hb-graphite2.o): undefined reference to symbol 'gr_slot_advance_Y' even though I am adding QMAKE_LFLAGS+=-Wl,--start-group to the make. Any suggestions? EBo --

What works for me is: # Update submodules, install dependencies, and build OpenSCAD RUN cd /openscad && git submodule update --init --recursive \ && ./scripts/uni-get-dependencies.sh && ./scripts/check-dependencies.sh \ && cmake -B build -DEXPERIMENTAL=1 \ && cmake --build build -j$(nproc) \ && cmake --install build --prefix /usr/local \ && mkdir -p /output \ && cp /usr/local/bin/openscad /output/ On Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 5:13 AM John David via Discuss < discuss@lists.openscad.org> wrote: > I've tried to follow > https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Building_on_Linux/UNIX > to build openscad from source, but when I get to qmake, it complains that > there are two modes and does nothing.

When building the latest code from github the process in the README in the repo should work. ciao, Torsten.

Thank you Verachten & Torsten, I got it built. I still have a libGLEW version warning, but I now have a time([prior]) working.

Thanks! That fixed the last of my warnings.
