Installing Inq

[dryder]

Hi
12.04-2 AMD64 Classic

I've been trying to install Inq as it recognizes my Epson Stylus Photo P50 (I want to be able to see the ink levels which I can't with mtink).

I have installed:
libinklevel5 vers 0.8.0-1.1
libpoppler-qt4-3
libpoppler-qt4-dev
and downloaded inq-1.0.0.tar.gz.

Following the instructions to install inq, I can't get it to QMAKE=<path-to-qmake> ./configure

QMAKE=/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem ./configure

and obviously can't go further (qmake fails too.)

I have tried:
QMAKE=/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem ./configure
qmake=/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem ./configure
qmake_qt4=/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem ./configure

Please can anybody help?

I am not clear what you wish to install:

many would use ink

http://ink.sourceforge.net/

that uses Libinklevel

the page that lists supported printers

http://libinklevel.sourceforge.net/index.html#supported

says your printer is supported

this page

http://libinklevel.sourceforge.net/#installation

seems to suggest that you install libinklevel first; and then choose some interface to interact with it; ..........the best seems ink that uses CLI

............what is this Ing you refer to please?

[dryder]

I wanted a gui based interface - inq is a gui.

Not meaning to be trite, I'm trying to install inq as per the instructions here

This page is the gui

I can't

 QMAKE=<path-to-qmake> ./configure

Thanks

[pdc]

I think you are missing some packages including libqt4-dev and qt4-qmake

try

sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev build-essential libqt4-dev qt4-qmake

(In your title, I seenow you spelt it as INQ but in your post it seems to me you spelt it as ING .......which I couldn't find on google!)

[dryder]

Apologies for the misspelling - how can I change the title?

[steeldriver]

I can't

 QMAKE=<path-to-qmake> ./configure

Thanks

You're more likely to get help if you post the actual error that you are getting - saying "I can't" doesn't really give us any clue what the problem might be

[dryder]

Point taken steeldriver and thanks pdc - your suggestion enabled me to do

QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 ./configure

On the next step:
make

I get:

/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 -o MyMakefile inq.pro
g++ -c -m64 -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_WEBKIT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. -I. -o devicedialog.o devicedialog.cpp
In file included from devicedialog.cpp:4:0:

I appreciate your help very much.

[steeldriver]

Do you have the boost C++ libraries installed ( http://www.boost.org/ )? or at least the base libboost-dev?

apt-cache policy libboost-dev

[dryder]

I have installed libboost-dev. It helped but 'make' then resulted in:

~/Desktop/inq-1.0.0$ make
/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 -o MyMakefile inq.pro
/usr/bin/uic-qt4 devicedialog.ui -o ui_devicedialog.h

mainwindow.cpp:15:22: fatal error: inklevel.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [mainwindow.o] Error 1

and I can't figure out what inklevel.h is.

libinklevel5 is installed.

I've not had so much difficulty installing before - usually I have identified the missing files. Here, I am just lost.

Thanks for your help.

[steeldriver]

There's a package you can install called 'apt-file' which is perfect for winkling out things like this - in this case:

$ apt-file search 'inklevel.h'
libinklevel-dev: /usr/include/inklevel.h

meaning you need the libinklevel-dev (i.e. development) package because you're trying to build stuff with libinklevel rather than just use it.
