<div class="moz-cite-prefix">OK, using the instructions below, it
all went pretty smoothly except for the few points below.<br>
Mega-thanks to all who contributed to 'Building QGIS from source'
document.<br>
<br>
As I said below, I was using a fresh install of 64 bit Ubuntu
14.10 Desktop.<br>
Points noted:<br>
<ul>
<li>The version levels of some of the build tools &
dependencies in my install were LOWER than required by this
'Building QGIS' document.</li>
<ol>
<li>Perhaps notes on how to get newer versions (than in the
'Main' repository) of these tools and dependencies would
help. I just ignored these versions, and carried on ahead.<br>
</li>
</ol>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Maybe add ccache and python-gdal to the list for apt-get in
section 3.3</li>
<li>In section 3.6 maybe mention the size of the git checkout
and how to minimise it for those who need to.<br>
</li>
<li>In 3.7 mention explicitly that setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
is in the ccmake panel and not as an environment variable :-)<br>
I missed that finer point and had to sudo make install - and
then qgis wouldn't run so I deleted everything in my
'build-master' and then woke up as to where to set the
${HOME}/apps pointer.</li>
<li>I ran make & make install as root even though I probably
need not have. <br>
</li>
<li>You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ${HOME}/apps/lib before
your complied qgis will run.</li>
</ul>
<p>When I do start this locally compiled qgis, I do get the
following error:<br>
Python error: Couldn't load plugin 'processing' ....blah blah<br>
and in QGIS plugins it says 'processing' is broken: Couldn't
find module psycopg2<br>
</p>
<p>but QGIS does power up when I close the error window.<br>
</p>
Hope these findings helps someone.<br>
Regards,<br>
Zoltan<br>

<div>Jump on IRC is normally a good way if you have trouble with
building. Some of us normally hang around there, or of course
you can still email the mailing list.</div>

<div>Hi Matthias<br>
Thanks for the confirmation.<br>
I'm just "feeling around" at the moment - and not worried
about the download size.<br>
<br>
Are the instructions I am following still "current"?<br>
If I find stuff that I feel maybe missing (ie: things
don't go according to my expectations from the
instructions), is there anyone particular I should notify?<br>
<br>
Cheers for now,<br>
Zoltan (The emigrant one :-) )</div>

<pre>Hi Zoltan,
That is correct.
It is not compressed to 44 objects. It is just compressing (packing) 44
objects it has not compressed yet.
But git downloads the whole history for you since the very first version
of QGIS anyway. That is fine if you are going to develop and want to
keep track of what has been done when etc.
If you are worried about the download size, you can either use --depth 1
when cloning

or just download the zip file of the branch you are interested on the
github project page.
Regards,
Matthias

<pre>Hi,
My platform is a "fresh" 64 bit Ubuntu 14.10 desktop install.
I am following these instructions:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html" target="_blank">http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html</a>
Using anonymous checkout, I get told that there are 271040 objects.
This is then compressed to 44 objects
Download begins, but is tracking the 271040 objects instead of the "44".
Is this correct or should it be downloading what I assume to be the
271040 objects that were compressed into 44 objects?
Regards & TIA,
Zoltan
