Installing SleepyHead on Ubuntu 18.04

[User11]

Please direct me to the right site.

Or better, please give me step-by-step instructions, since I am not that Linux savvy.

Thank you very much

[OkyDoky]

On the Sleepyhead site it states:
This build is ONLY for ubuntu 15.04, sorry linux guys & gals, if this isn't you, you'll have to build from source

I don't know if this has changed but there are Linux users here that might be able to help. (Palerider and others)

Keep checking back for their input.

This site helps with learning about how to download but not sure it will be what you need. https://sleep.tnet.com/resources/sleepyhead
Here is the Sleepyhead download site. https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/

as okydoky said, there are linux users here. not me, i'm just here to bump the thread.

That said, it will work on later versions if you've got the right qt libraries and such installed. I'm still using the one I compiled back in 2016...

I don't have time right now to do the OP's research and dig up the posted build instructions, maybe later.

I am not sure the answer but the developer (jedimark) hangs out in Discord chat at https://discord.gg/4RYKscZ

EDIT: I found this elsewhere:

Linux Platform Build Notes
Requires Qt 5+ with webkit, package manager version will do, recent Debian systems (and others) have QtWebkit in the package manager along with reasonably modern Qt5 builds.

What I did so far

I installed : libqt5serialport5 git qt5-qmake qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5serialport5- g++ libudev-dev

sudo mkdir build_sleepyhead

sudo git clone https://gitlab.com/sleepyhead/sleepyhead-code.git

That is the newer 1.1 version we (the worldwide team) are currently testing to resolve bugs.

I just took a look at the build instructions there. QTWebKit is no longer required arne we ate testing with Qt 5.11.0.
I think this is what the README there meant.
mkdir sleepyhead-code
cd sleepyhead-code
sudo git clone https://gitlab.com/sleepyhead/sleepyhead-code.git

mkdir build_sleepyhead
cd build_sleepyhead
sudo qmake ../sleepyhead-code/SleepyHeadQT.pro

Thanks prodigyplace,
Unfortunately I am not good at all and at my age it's going a be very hard to start learning (no matter what THEY say, wait till they reach their 80th.. ).

Anyway, I deleted everything (using sudo) and tried your suggestion.
There is an improvement - no more " Cannot find file: ../sleepyhead-code/SleepyHeadQT.pro. "
But still errors:
~/sleepyhead-code/build_sleepyhead$ sudo qmake ../sleepyhead-code/SleepyHeadQT.pro
Info: creating stash file /home/martin/sleepyhead-code/build_sleepyhead/.qmake.stash

~/sleepyhead-code/build_sleepyhead$ sudo make
cd sleepyhead/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/martin/sleepyhead-code/sleepyhead-code/sleepyhead/sleepyhead.pro ) && make -f Makefile

Hope that you can point out the error

Let me see if I can find the answer for you. I have not built this on Linux

I had one of the developers look at this thread. He noticed you installed libqt5serialport5 but not libqt5serialport5-dev He thinks that could be at least part of your issue.

[User11]

I installed libqt5serialport5-dev but it still does not work:

It looks like the released version of Sleepyhead is in the official Ubuntu repositories.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/sleepyhead

That would be much easier to install.

[palerider]

First thing, you shouldn't use sudo for gmake or make.

Your problem above is a missing zlib:

../../sleepyhead-code/sleepyhead/SleepLib/machine_loader.h:19:10: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

On my system, it's provided by the package zlib1g-dev

Pretty much all the problems compiling SH come down to that.. make, see what's missing, add the package, make again.

Then when you've got all the bits on your system, it should build.

As suggested by prodigyplace I went to the Synaptic and installed SleepyHead.
And it works very well.
Thank you all for your help

I am a Linux newbie. Got Sleepyhead working in Windows10 last year and I haven't used the software much for awhile. I am switching over to Linux Mint. I've downloaded and installed Mint 19.3, which I understand to be derived from Ubuntu and Debian.

In Mint there is "Software Manager" and I searched for Sleepyhead and found it (1.0.0-beta-2+dfsg-4) and installed it. But when the software install was complete I couldn't find it doing a search.

Uninstalled it, than tried installing it using the Synaptic Package Manager, in case that would make a difference, and I get the same results. It completes the install, or at least doesn't give an error message. But when searching for it the Linux Mint Menu (lower left corner) it doesn't find the application.

Any Linux Mint users?
