#10 Linux Mint 19.3 Compile Errors

2020-06-18T13:13:40.857000Z

I've now tried using a gui version of cmake. I can select the path to the compiler file. But when I select configure I get the following error message:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:45 (message):
The C++ compiler

"/home/gareth/eos-movrec-0.3.2_beta/CMakeFiles/3.10.2/CompilerIdCXX/CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp"

is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:

Linux Mint 19.3 Compile Errors

2020-06-18T13:05:01.896000Z

Hi, I'm new to Linux. I'm trying to compile the EOS Movie Record in Linux Mint 19.3.
When I followed the instructions in the install file contained in the download kept getting an error stating CmakeList.txt not found in directory. I got round this by running Cmake in the folder created when I unpacked the downloaded file packet.
However when I now run cmake I get the following error:

Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
Build flags:
Id flags: -c

The output was:
No such file or directory

Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
Build flags:
Id flags: --c++

The output was:
No such file or directory

Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
Build flags:
Id flags: --ec++

The output was:
No such file or directory

I've tried adding the path for the .cpp file, but this just recreates the first problem.

Any help would be much appriciated.

Commands used to compile:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release-0.3.2
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release-0.3.2 /home/gareth/eos-movrec-0.3.2_beta /home/gareth/eos-movrec-0.3.2_beta/CMakeFiles/3.10.2/CompilerIdCXX

Thanks you
Gareth

Hello
On a LinuxMint 19.3 Tricia FRENCH install, I got the following error during make (cmake ran OK)

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/moc @/home/patrice/Téléchargements/Linux/eos-movrec-0.3.2_beta/build/moc_blinklabel.cxx_parameters
moc: Cannot open options file specified with @

But the file is here.
The solution was to move eos-movrec at the home level and it ran.
IMHO the problem is caused by a mishandling of the accents in the path : Téléchargements
Moving to my home directory leads to a path without accents and a correct compilation

I don't know wheter it is a script error or the way moc manage the paths

#5 Link to latest Mac version

Thanks Wolfram and Nick! The camera can detect and can show video feed on my Mac. However, when I click Write, the error 'Can't create video file' is thrown. Please refer the attached screenshot. Is installing Xcode necessary for this app to work?

Update from 21st January 2018: The latest version of gphoto2 installed by homebrew is 2.5.16 so copying the libraries as Joachim mentions above is definitely required. For those following after here's a detailed list of what I've just done to get my Canon EOS 60D working with my 2015 Macbook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.2, combining points from several of the above comments:

Download the eos_movrec.app.zip file included in Wolfram's post above dated 2017-01-13
Extract, and copy to the Applications folder in the usual manner
Open a terminal window and run the following commands (which install homebrew itself, then the homebrew gphoto installation, and then copy the relevant libraries across):
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew install gphoto2 cd /Applications/eos_movrec.app/Contents/Frameworks cp /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.16/lib/libgphoto2_port.12.dylib . cp /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.16/lib/libgphoto2.6.dylib .
Plug in camera
In the same Terminal window, run the following to kill the default camera application, and run this one
sudo killall -9 "PTPCamera" /Applications/eos_movrec.app/Contents/MacOS/eos_movrec
