I'm using qwebengine in my Qt5 program.
I use this command to install qt on my travis-ci env:
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install qt5 qt5-qtwebengine --verbose; fi
However it tells me: Error: No available formula with the name "qt5-qtwebengine"
How to instaall qtwebengine properly by brew?
The fix was patched in two weeks ago and you will need to brew update before you brew install qt
Environment OSX 10.9.5
I am trying to install swftools so that I can use pdf2swf. I am installing through HomeBrew. I've seen various notes about pdf2swf failing to install if its dependencies have not been previously installed. So using the command at the link I use:
$ brew install freetype libjpeg giflib swftools
And it completes without error – except pdf2swf is not installed. When I look in usr/local/bin, I see the other swftools are installed successfully.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Update: For completeness if anyone comes across this question looking to use pdf2swf in an AIR desktop app: you can't. Apparently pdf2swf compiles the swf with certain "AllowDomain" security settings and there is no option to not do that. Short of editing the source code and compiling pdf2swf oneself, it seems a deadend.
If you look at the brew formula: brew edit swftools, PDF support comes via xpdf and this is not included by default as XQuartz needs to be installed:
brew instal swftools --with-xpdf
swftools: XQuartz is required to install this formula.
You can install with Homebrew Cask:
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
You can download from:
https://xquartz.macosforge.org
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
So:
Install XQuartz
brew install swftools --with-xpdf
I have a clean OSX 10.9 box and I have tried to install R16 erlang via homebrew:
brew install erlang
Unfortunately, that installs R17. So I tried to install it via "versions" recipes:
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew update
brew doctor
brew install erlang-r16
Surprisingly, this fails with error:
Error: No available formula for erlang-r16
Is it any way to install Erlang R16 right now via homebrew or I need to wait a few months before recipes/repository/whatever is correctly updated and synchronized?
I'd advise you to download source of any release you like/need the most.
I installed Erlang/OTP r17(otp_src_17.0) from sources on OSX 10.9.3.
Everything works ok. Even GUI observer.
However you might need to install graphical libraries needed by observer. If I did so, I used sources as well.
Good luck!
After doing a Ctrol+C on a 'brew update' command, can't see all available formulas (searching with brew search command, E.g any php package)
I've tried with brew doctor and cleanup commands without any luck.
How can I fix this without uninstalling brew and all its programs?
I'm wondering about this as well. I switched to an older version of scala, now the formula is missing and I can't install the latest version. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall homebrew for a quickfix for now.
I tried to install GNU Octave on my Mac using Fink by this instruction
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X
I think I have followed all the instructions but I can't run Octave.
How can I check if it is installed correctly?
I tried typing 'octave' in the terminal but it says 'command not found'
Or, is there any easy instruction for Octave installation?
I've found many install guides but they are all different and assumes some knowledge.
Incidentally, I have installed Octave GNU today twice on two different machines (both running Lion).
I needed the latest version of Octave (3.6.4), and used Homebrew.
I already had XCode installed, so the rest:
Install Homebrew
Based on the instructions in this page, I ran:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Install Octave
Following this guide, I ran:
brew tap homebrew/science
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install gfortran
brew install octave
Install AquaTerm
Notice that you need this before you install gnuplot (or gnuplot won't see aqua as a valid terminal and you may get 'unknown or ambiguous terminal type' error).
Simply downloaded the latest version (1.1.0) dmg from SourceForge.
Install gnuplot
brew install gnuplot
You could try installing it with Home Brew. Once you download and install Home Brew, use this guide to get Octave installed.
Easiest option would be using the precompilled .app
I've tried the precompiled .app, but had issues with certain functions (like sound),
whereas the macports version always worked.
I usually install it using macports:
sudo port install octave
for the basics.
You might need other port variants/octave modules installed:
sudo port install octave octave-signal octave-plot octave-image octave-signal
Need to have XCode with Command Line Tools first and Macports with this route though
How to know if a Fink package is installed
By default (and this should be your case too if you didn't changed it), Fink installs everything under /sw, i.e. the binaries you are looking for should be in /sw/bin/.
Run ls /sw/bin/octave*and, depending on the output, you then have two choices :
Either the Octave binary is inside /sw/bin, in that case run echo $PATH and learn more about PATH Variable to fix your problem.
Otherwise, if there is nothing inside, there might have been a problem with the install. Try running fink install octave once more, look closely at the output and update your post if necessary.
This is simply an update on the instruction provided by Izhaki (that I ran on Mac OSX 10.8.4).
You may be required to update XCode to 4.6.3. This can be done through the AppStore.
If you encounter the error:
Error: Download failed: http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/sites/default/files/software_releases/source/tbb41_20130613oss_src.tgz
during
brew install octave
Then invoke:
brew update
brew install octave
and the install will pick up where it left off. Other than that, the instruction worked seamlessly.
