It would probably help if you told us what you are trying to accomplish by installing qt5-qtgui-devel?

#3

i’d like to compile screen recorder from coderus for aarch64

#4

You can compile it easily using the Sailfish SDK. There’s no reason to install devel packages to your phone.

#5

also on freebsd? and why can’t i compile on the phone for the phone when i can compile on the pc for pc? after all the phone is also a computer and has even a better processor

#6

FreeBSD is not a supported operating system for our SDK. Perhaps you could e.g. run Linux in a virtual machine?

It’s definitely possible to compile on the phone as well, I know that there are people who do it. I still don’t recommend it though, especially if it’s your daily driver. And it’s not a scenario which we support.

You can try this:
https://together.jolla.com/question/26605/howto-install-a-chroot-for-building-apps/
Should allow installing dev packages that would break your phone in the chroot for compilation (just skip the btrfs steps as that’s not used since Jolla1)

… and you’re lucky too this gives an error nowadays.

In the past it would just install and some packages bricked your device.

#9

Does FBSD support docker (or rather the other way around)? if yes you can also use coderus’ docker images to build.

Building on the phone really isn’t ideal except for rather simple packages, for various reasons. One is that some devel packages break the device.

And if you decide to do it anyway: never never never build as root user. rpmbuild will destroy system files if you do.
