Ftrack connect on Pop!_os error

[daans]

Hi all,

The current corona crisis also forced me to work form home. At the studio we all have Centos machines running, here at home I have only Pop!_os as a distro. I know it is official not supported, but going through the forum apparently people are successful to get it running on Ubuntu. So I was wondering if somebody could steer me in the right direction to get it up and running? I did install the ftrack api, but I still get a lot of errors.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

All stay safe!

hi @daans, my suggestion would be to try to install in a virtualenv ftrack-connect from sources.
the process would be something along these lines:

1) ensure you have libssl and qt are installed and available on the system
2) create a virtualenv for python 2.7 (python > 2.7.9) 
3) clone ftrack-connect repository https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-connect
4) activate virtualenv
5) run : python setup.py install

if everything went well, you should now be able to run : ftrack-connect
from the shell.

Let us know how it goes!

P.s

Differently from ftrack-connect-package this is just ftrack-connect and does not include the integrations.
the easier way could be to copy the integration from the package or clone from bitbucket and build them with :

python setup.py build_plugin 
(ensure you are in the virtualenv though)

Hi Lorenzo!

Thanks, this got me almost there :-).

I got a QT error during the build. I guess because Pop comes with QT5 instead of QT4? Any trick to build it with QT5?

Hi @daansQt5 is currently not supported .
We are working on that but there's no ETA atm I can provide I'm sorry.

Unless you can find a way to install Qt4 on pop!_os I fear you are on a dead end for now.
