Bicycle Navigation App Development (HELP needed)

@magdesign said in Bicycle Navigation App Development (HELP needed):

Overlaying waterdrops from OSM and all kind of sustainable things like farmer shops, mundraub locations, weekly market places, shelters...

Not sure how relevant, but there's a webapp which has "themes" to show certain types of things on the map (One theme is "Drinking Water") and where people can contribute to. If you want to add something similar to another app, maybe you could also work with themes like that and use the same format/make them compatible somehow. That way themes from one app can easily be used by another as well. https://mapcomplete.osm.be/?language=en

@spctrl Thanks.

The nice thing about OSMIN is:

works 100% offline
has all the desired overlays built in
has a GPS tracker
can load GPS tracks
builds on linux phones

@magdesign

So I installed clickable on my computer and
created a new project with:

clickable create

then I copied the whole git library from:
https://github.com/janbar/osmin
into the clickable created folder.

from terminal I executed:

git submodule init
git submodule update
mkdir build

Now I want to build the app for ubports, but I have no idea how.
The normal command would be:

cmake -B build -DBUILD_DEVICE_MOBILE=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ .

followed by:

cmake --build build/ -j8

I tried with:

clickable

but getting following error:

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5RemoteObjects"
  with any of the following names:

    Qt5RemoteObjectsConfig.cmake
    qt5remoteobjects-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5RemoteObjects" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
  set "Qt5RemoteObjects_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "Qt5RemoteObjects" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed.

libqt5remoteobjects5-dev and libqt5remoteobjects5-bin are installed.
Can someone please help me on this !!
I guess its something with https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/guides/dependencies.html,
so I need to modify the clickable.yaml, but what would I need to add??

magdesign

ok, I got a bit further, content of my clickable.yaml looks like:

clickable_minimum_required: 7.1.2
builder: cmake
build_args:
- B build
- DBUILD_DEVICE_MOBILE=ON 
- DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang 
- DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ .

dependencies_host:

- git
- clang
- libomp-dev

dependencies_target:

- qtdeclarative5-dev
- libqt5svg5-dev
- qtquickcontrols2-5-dev
- libqt5sensors5-dev
- qtmultimedia5-dev
- libqt5remoteobjects5-dev
- qtpositioning5-dev

kill: osmin

now I have following error:

E: Unable to locate package libqt5remoteobjects5-dev:amd64
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get update && apt-get install -y --force-yes --no-install-recommends git clang libomp-dev qtdeclarative5-dev:amd64 libqt5svg5-dev:amd64 qtquickcontrols2-5-dev:amd64 libqt5sensors5-dev:amd64 qtmultimedia5-dev:amd64 libqt5remoteobjects5-dev:amd64 qtpositioning5-dev:amd64 && apt-get clean' returned a non-zero code: 100
Command exited with non-zero exit status 100, see above for details. This is most likely not a problem with Clickable.

How can I provide the missing package, its installed on my system when I do

sudo apt-get install libqt5remoteobjects5-dev

I get:

libqt5remoteobjects5-dev is already the newest version (5.12.8-0ubuntu1).

Any help very welcome!!!

@magdesign I have not much knowledge on managing dependencies but I believe those packages are being installed in the docker image, not your system so you might need to check it there. Or check on a UT phone since I think the docker is based on UT images which is xenial.

magdesign

@kugiigi
thanks for the hint.
so i started the approach to directly compile on the phone, but there i am stuck much simpler problems:

No space left on device

kugiigi

@magdesign Compiling on the device itself isn't ideal as well though doable. I've done it in the past You cam Seabass2 as it supports creating a libertine container with clickable installed But I highly suggest to just do it on your PC. Maybe someone else can help you with the dependency configuration.

@magdesign
As @kugiigi mentioned it is best to stay with clickable.

The issue will be the same directly on the device.
You should install the dependencies in the docker image and add them to your clickable.yaml like you did.
Simply run a command like this: docker run -it <your docker image> bash
Then run apt install command...
Quit the docker shell and build your click package.

@applee

Thank you very much for your support !!

I was able to mount the docker image with:

docker run -it clickable/amd64-16.04-arm64:16.04.5 bash

But suddenly I realised that libqt5remoteobjects5 is not available on xenial 16.04, nor on the xenial-backports universe and manually installing from ports.ubuntu.com results in an error.

So I guess here is the end. I seriously have to think about switching OS after 5 years Ubports...

@magdesign
You should have a look at 20.04 version of Ubuntu Touch.
Yes your app won't work until the official release of focal but it will be hopefully soon.
