Oscar on Linux Mint
#1
Oscar on Linux Mint
I am currently using Mint 18.3.  Oscar won't install as it is looking for some dependencies. It starts with libdouble-conversion3.   I am considering upgrading to Mint 20 as the end of support for 18 is coming up . Has anyone have any experience with Mint?  Presently I am using a Raspberry Pi for Oscar.
Thanks
Roger

RE: Oscar on Linux Mint
You might try this.  
In a terminal window, type or copy: sudo apt-get install gtkhash libb2-1 libqt5opengl5 libqt5serialport5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5xml5.  

Here is the Wiki link to installing OSCAR on Linux - http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...ion:_Linux

I have upgraded 2 of my computers from LM 19.3 to LM 20.  You will need to reinstall the OSCAR_1.1.1_Ubuntu_20.04_amd64 version after the upgrade.

Thanks for the reply.  Unable to locate package by glob 'libqt5xml5    It may not be available for mint 18  I probably will be upgrading to LM20 fairly soon.

RE: Oscar on Linux Mint
I might have not listed all of them. You could try: dpkg-deb -I OSCAR_1.1.1_Ubuntu_18.04_amd64.deb This should show the dependencies for you. What command are you using for the install command?

RE: Oscar on Linux Mint
using  sudo apt install ./oscar_1.1.1-Ubuntu18_amd64.deb  the results are

 oscar : Depends: libdouble-conversion1 but it is not installable

         Depends: libqt5core5a (> 5.9) but 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.7 is to be installed

Using the GDeb  package installer it reports "Dependency is not satisfiable: libdouble-conversion1

At this point I may just use the Raspberry computer and switch the monitor around to be more convenient.    It's been a while since I've chased after this stuff. I'm retiring soon and will be able to devote more attention to these things again.

Thanks so much

RE: Oscar on Linux Mint
The Debian9 OSCAR .deb package was built with qt 5.7, and that is the lowest version that will compile. Ubuntu 18.04 uses qt 5.9, the current debian Buster version uses qt 5.11.

I am investigating the use of AppImage packaging, but you will probably have upgraded by the time that is ready.
