QT5 build failure and fix

System: Slackware64-current + QT5/kde5 semi-official upgrade. Avidemux_2.6.15

Slackware does not come with qt5/kde5 as standard, but one of the developers provides upgrade packages for those who want to try it. 2.6.15 built perfectly using my standard build script under qt4, but after I installed qt5, it failed with the following error message:

ADM_userInterfacesQT5/ADM_shell/moc_Q_shell.cpp:9:
/usr/include/qt5/QtCore/qbasicatomic.h:61:4: error: #error "Qt requires C++11 support"
#  error "Qt requires C++11 support"
    ^


A quick poke around t'Internet suggested adding

CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11

I did this, and the build then proceeded normally. So far everything seems to be working as expected.

For reference (and any other slackers out there), here is my build script:

PKGNAM=avidemux
VERSION=2.6.15
BUILD=${BUILD:-1}

# Automatically determine the architecture we're building on:
if [ -z "$ARCH" ]; then
  case "$( uname -m )" in
    i?86) export ARCH=i486 ;;
    arm*) export ARCH=arm ;;
    # Unless $ARCH is already set, use uname -m for all other archs:
       *) export ARCH=$( uname -m ) ;;
  esac
fi

CWD=$(pwd)
TMP=${TMP:-/tmp}
PKG=$TMP/package-$PKGNAM
rm -rf $PKG
mkdir -p $PKG

# We don't need to do anything about setting CFLAGS or libdirs as the internal
#avidemux build script does this for us. (But see below!)

cd $PKG
tar xvf $CWD/avidemux_$VERSION.tar.gz || exit 1
cd avidemux_$VERSION || exit 1

# We need this if building with QT5:
export CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11

chmod +x bootStrap.bash

./bootStrap.bash # We don't need to set any options here.


find $PKG/avidemux_$VERSION/install | xargs file | grep -e "executable" -e "shared object" | grep ELF \
  | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null

  mkdir -p $PKG/avidemux_$VERSION/install/install
  cat $CWD/slack-desc > $PKG/avidemux_$VERSION/install/install/slack-desc

cd $PKG/avidemux_$VERSION/install
/sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $TMP/avidemux_$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD.txz


This script will build avidemux, and leave a standard Slackware package in the /tmp directory.

I probably should automate the QT5 detection, but since avidemux usually detects all the flag settings automatically, I wonder if this is something that has only recently occurred in "bleeding edge" installations, and should thus be determined internally by avidemux?

Some interesting threads with snippets of coding lately.
These make for interesting reading.

It's partially done already
Maybe the Shell part was missed
