Compiling QLC+ 4.13.1 on Raspian from source
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2024 10:40 pm
Hi all,
First off thank you Massimo for your incredible software and dedication to this community. It is truly a blessing that we can get such power over our lights and systems with only a download.
I am trying to compile QLC+ with the GPIO plugin, so that I may make use of some custom control surfaces and the Pi's pins. Unfortunately, I am at a loss as to what's going wrong. I am having compile issues based around "translate.sh", something to do with the encoding. As far as the Pi and OS go, it's pretty much stock Raspian configured to work in GMT+5 with EN_US locale.
I am following instructions from https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/w ... --&-qmake)
The other compile option (cmake) produces the same results.
I've tried directly compiling via make/build/install, as well as using the debian "create-deb.sh". Same results everywhere.
As this machine is airgapped, I have installed all the dependancies and acquired the source manually via sneakernet. If it is necessary, I can network the computer should that aid in compilation for whatever reason, maybe I got the wrong package?
Below is my output at the time of compiling:
Have I downloaded the wrong version of QLC from the git? Perhaps this one has a bug? Or am I not setting something right before compiling maybe? Is there possibly a way to enable the GPIO plugin without recompiling/reinstalling?
Thank you again, any help is appreciated.

Have I downloaded the wrong version of QLC from the git? Perhaps this one has a bug? Or am I not setting something right before compiling maybe? Is there possibly a way to enable the GPIO plugin without recompiling/reinstalling?
