Ive followed the instruction for this install and all commands are working till I get to “make -j” then it dumps with these errors:
wfmain.o: file not recognized: File truncated
collec2: error: Id returned 1 exit stratus
Makefile:249: recipe for target ‘wfview’ failed
make: *** [wfview] Error 1
Im not a Linux wizard and can get most stuff done. This one has be baffled.

Hi Allen.
That sounds like it might be the remnants of a previous build?
Can you try:
make clean
make -j
Then post the results?
Thanks
Phil
I use
make clean && rm .qmake.stash && qmake-qt5 …/wfview/wfview.pro && make -j && echo y | sudo ./install.sh
to keep stuff clean. (takes 11…12 seconds total)
make clean did allot of things but in the end it crashed. Will try the second suggestion.
Thanks guys this is a tough one.
Allen
Well I just cant make it work. Tried all the above and still crashes to Desktop.
Going to take a break. My brain hurts 
what if you do a make instead of make -j?
I can try that. I gave up on the OrangePi and now working with a RaspberryPi 4B. Hoping it works this
time. Im not giving up on the OrangePi yet. Its too powerful to ignore
Allen
Well installed Ubuntu 21.04, install went all the way through which I “assumed” (that word again), that it had worked, Even did a reboot after install. But no Icon on Desktop, or anyway to launch that I can see. This version have a very weird desktop and some things dont work like I think they should. Had heck of time finding Terminal so I could input lines of code.
Any ideas why no Icon. Or what file starts the software.?
Allen
Hi Allen,
The install script (install.sh) will install the program into /usr/local/bin/wfview, and the launcher desktop icon to /usr/share/applications/wfview.desktop.
Please let me know if either of these work for you.
Thanks,

qmake is making the wfview.pro in the directory wfview then make -j doesnt work says “nothing to do”
sudo ./install.sh stalls
Hi Allen,
It is important to be very precise with the commands. qmake should not be making anything in the source folder (“wfview”). It should make in the “build” folder. Looking at your message there, you do have an extra dot in the qmake line. It should be:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../wfview/wfview.pro
make -j
sudo ./install.sh
Let me know if that helps any.
Thanks,
–E
Wish I could copy from screen to text:
in Documents/build I enter make -j (get this error “make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.”
enter sudo ./install.sh (get this error “./install.sh: command not found”
This is where it always gets messed up. Got though all the commands in the INSTALL.md, and these are the last few files. Nothing is being generated to other directories as noted above in Elliots post on this subject.
Allen
Hi Allen,
Can you verify something for me?
When you do this:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../wfview/wfview.pro
Do you see any files created? There should be two files. After you run those commands, do this:
ls -a
And see if you see “.qmake.stash” and “Makefile”
Here is my text from my terminal doing these things:
eliggett@chi:~/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance$ git clone [snip]

Let me know what you get there.
Thanks,
–E
The wfview and wfview.pro are where they should be.
running ls -a only shows .qmake.stash. There is no Makefile.
Allen
This is so strange. can you post the output like I did? Copy-paste right into the email, let’s see what’s going on.
The documentation for qmake says it will drop the makefile in the current working directory. I don’t even see a flag to manually set the destination!
You may have found a very interesting bug in… something…
Thanks for your patients while we investigate this issue,

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: multimedia

NOTE: the …/wfview/wfview.pro files are where they should be. I just did the command to show what happens when you repeat the command. Whats after that is the results of ls -a in build directory.
Allen
Hi Allen,
The error you’re getting is the key. “Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: multimedia”. There won’t be a Makefile until qmake can find that module.
Did you make sure to run these two commands:
sudo apt-get install libqt5multimedia5
sudo apt-get install libqt5multimedia5-plugins
Maybe try again and see if it will work.
Thanks,

Hi Allen,
This is a good step. I think we found the missing library. However, before you proceed, can you please make sure you ran each line in Step 1 of the INSTALL.md file? Each of those items must be installed in order to build.
Once you’ve run those (and it’s totally fine to run the apt-get stuff more than once just to be sure), remove your build directory entirely, make a new build directory, and continue.
eliggett@chi:~/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance$ rm -rf build
eliggett@chi:~/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance$ mkdir build
eliggett@chi:~/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance$ cd build
eliggett@chi:~/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance/build$ qmake ../wfview/wfview.pro
Info: creating stash file /home/eliggett/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance/build/.qmake.stash
At this point, make sure there aren’t any errors. If there aren’t any, then check with the ls -la command to see if the Makefile was created. If so, continue:
eliggett@chi:~/Documents/dev/wfview-ui-enhance/build$ make -j
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks,

It Worked! Did all from 1 to redoing the build directory. All ran with no problems. Ive included the last part of the install including the ./install.sh.
pi@WB7SWW:~/Documents/build $ cd
pi@WB7SWW:~ $ cd Documents
pi@WB7SWW:~/Documents $
pi@WB7SWW:~/Documents $ ls
build wfview
pi@WB7SWW:~/Documents $ cd build
pi@WB7SWW:~/Documents/build $ sudo $0
root@WB7SWW:/home/pi/Documents/build# sudo ./install.sh
This script copies the following items into your system:
icon: wfview.png to /usr/share/pixmaps/
wfview application to /usr/local/bin/
wfview.desktop to /usr/share/applications/
qdarkstyle stylesheet to /usr/share/wfview/stylesheets
This script MUST be run from the build directory. Do not run it from the source directory!
Do you wish to continue? (Y/N): y
Copying files now.
Done!
