Versatile C++ game scraper: Skyscraper

@mitu Sure here is the one from trying to install via Retropie Setup : https://pastebin.com/r3Sc4CXX

I deleted the one from the command line but I will reproduce the error and paste it here.

Here is the second log : https://pastebin.com/TeGYj0bD

@ByteThis Looks really odd. Seems like it is missing a qt5 dependency. It can't find the QStorageInfo headers. This works just fine on my own Pi 3B+. Just for the heck of it, try running:

$ sudo apt-get install qt5-default

And then try installing it again.

mitu

@ByteThis Ugh, it looks like your Raspbian version doesn't have an up-to-date QT5 install (well, what @muldjord said :) ). Are you running on Raspbian Jessie or older ?

ByteThis

@mitu This build still on jessie. I will try muldjord's suggestion.

@muldjord This is what the output after running that command :

mitu

@ByteThis I don't think it will help - the install script already installs that package and it's probably already installed from the first time you added Skyscraper.

ByteThis

@mitu I was running Skyscraper fine with jessie until the mishap with the Screenscraper API that @muldjord fixed..lol.

muldjord

@ByteThis Yeah, I have no idea why this would happen... Only thing that springs to mind is a failing SD card. I haven't seen this error before and, as I mentioned, it compiles just fine on my own Pi.

ByteThis

@muldjord Weird..my sd card is fine as it is only about a month old and have been adding roms and such fine with it. Is your newest version of Skyscraper compatible with jessie ? (I imagine it is)

mitu

No, your QT5 is too old.
Debian Jessie has Qt5.3.2 (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/qt5-default), however @muldjord added a space checking feature recently which requires QStorageInfo. QStorageInfo has been added in Qt 5.4 (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstorageinfo.html), so it's obviously missing on Jessie - there's no card corruption happening.

muldjord

Ah, yes, that's the reason then. I had no idea the Qt5 version on Jessie was that old.

mitu

@muldjord Oh, man, you killed jessie (sorry, couldn't resist).

ByteThis

@muldjord Are you able to implement a workaround for those of us that are still using jessie ?

Already done so. I've included a check for the Qt version so it only includes the space check if the user has Qt5.4.0 or later. It will be in 3.0.4.

muldjord

@ByteThis 3.0.4 out now. Please update and test.

mitu

@muldjord That's great ! Just discovered that the new ES version doesn't install on Jessie (due to a missing dependency), so the updated ES scraper can't be used.

ByteThis

@muldjord Works perfect now man! Thanks for your hard work and your Scraper !

ByteThis

@mitu Yes..the error is "Could not install package(s): rapidjson.dev". I updated ES some time ago to install the Screenscraper scraper within Retropie and tried to re-update to include TheGAMESDB but got that error.

mitu

@ByteThis I posted a workaround in the sticky topic with the ES scraper problems in the Help sections. If you could give it a try and see if it works, that would be great.

ByteThis

@mitu Sure. I will try it. BRB.

@mitu The dependency couldn't be installed : https://pastebin.com/zknu3NVV
