Troubleshooting builds
It has been reported and documented that compiling qTox 1.7 on Debian 8.6 runs into a few dependency problems:
-
First off, the needed qt5-related compilation packages require a jessie-stable (not a backport or newer) version of the Mesa driver to be installed. Watch out for this, and use 'aptitude' to graciously downgrade to a stable 'Mesa' version if required.
-
The required ffmpeg/libswscale4 (jessie-sid) package is currently provided only in Debian's [sid/unstable] and [stretch/testing] branches. The current Debian 8.6 stable branch contains only a metapackage named libswscale4-dev which points to the ffmpeg/libav package, and consequently crashes 'make' when compiling qTox 1.7 from source. This may be resolved via a workaround, by manually pointing the 'make' script to the libswscale4 library.
