LInux(debian) issues found when following the documentation

Hello everyone, I have been trying to install openpass and it's dependencies and we are facing some problems that I will describe here

• qt5-default not longer in deb repo (modified with qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools )
• dos2unix not mentioned on installation prerequisites until needed
• boost not mentioned on installation prerequisites (will cause an error when trying to build openpass) proposal:

wget https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.72.0/source/boost_1_72_0.tar.bz2

tar --bzip2 -xf boost_1_72_0.tar.bz2

cd boost_1_72_0

./bootstrap.sh

./b2 install

• compilers for linux on install required packages are not specified (but they are on furher steps such as openpass cmake (9 version)
• on executing make -j3 on openpass, it will throw this error

Hello,

Thank you for pointing out the troubles while installing OpenPASS on linux.

1. qt5-default not longer in deb repo:

   Yes. You are correct. If you are using the latest versions of ubuntu or debian, qt5-default is no longer available. libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev, qtbase5-dev and qtchooser needs to be installed instead. The document will be updated in the next fix.

2. dos2unix not mentioned:

   Yes, you are correct. The issue is taken care in https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/simopenpass/simopenpass/-/merge_requests/99.

3. boost not mentioned on installation prerequisites:

   libboost-dev is indeed mentioned in the prerequisites. Could you please check from your end if the package is installed.

4. compilers version not specified:

   We are now supporting openPASS with compilers gcc and g++ 11.2.0. It seems a miss in the cmake command to mention the gcc/g++ version. The issue will be taken care. Please try running cmake with versions specified for gcc and g++

5. executing make -j3: It seems the -fpic flag is missing in the protobuf installation. The static protobuf cmake should have contained -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-fPIC flag. The error will be fixed.

@victorhexad Please check.

changed milestone to %Release v1.0.0

@victorhexad Stefan: Clarification needed.

• Usage of dos2unix has to be verified (is it still needed after switching to git apply for the fmi library patch?)
• boost still missing in Linux prerequisites

mentioned in commit ce9ead37

The usage of the 'dos2unix' command is not necessary as the required changes has been verified. Therfore, the corresponding changes to the documentation are made and are currently part of MR !154 (merged)
