Truing to compile SavvyCaN

Asked by John Turner

Hello,
Trying to compile SavvyCAN and Qt5
I have downloaded both programs, but when I start qmake I get the following

john@john-ThinkPad-T400:~$ cd SavvyCAN
john@john-ThinkPad-T400:~/SavvyCAN$ ~/Qt5.9.0/5.9
bash: /home/john/Qt5.9.0/5.9: Is a directory
john@john-ThinkPad-T400:~/SavvyCAN$ ~/Qt5.9.0/5.9/gcc_64/bin/qmake
/home/john/Qt5.9.0/5.9/gcc_64/mkspecs/features/toolchain.prf:129: Variable QMAKE_CXX.COMPILER_MACROS is not defined.
john@john-ThinkPad-T400:~/SavvyCAN$

I'm just following instructions , as all this is new to me. If I proceed from this point ,
with "make " I just get more errors.
Hope someone can help .
Thanks

I do not find any information about a software named SavvyCaN in Ubuntu, so I assume this is something that you downloaded from some external source.
Qt5 is available pre-packaged in Ubuntu, so there should not be any need for compiling it from source.

Which Ubuntu release are you running (output of the command "lsb_release -crid")
Where did you download SavvyCAN, which instructions are coming with that software?
Why do you think that you have to build your own version of Qt5?
If you have to build it yourself - from which source did you download the Qt5 source, and are there any instruction how to correctly build the software?

There seem to be a pre-build package of SavvyCAN for Linux on http://www.savvycan.com/ without the need for doing your own compilation - can't you use this?
