Samson SDK failed to install

[Laëtitia]

Hello,

I downloaded and tried to install SAMSON SDK.
It failed claiming "no version is available for this platform".
On the terminal I have:

bomble@Lilas ~/Téléchargements $ ./SAMSON-Developer-Setup.run 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing SAMSON Developer Software Package  100%  
saving context
launching SAMSON_INSTALLER
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
root
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
restoring context

I run on linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit
Is SAMSON SDK not available for linux users?

Thanks

[Laëtitia]

hum I don't have the last version of qt, could it be that?

Dear @Laëtitia ,

Sorry for the failed installation.
SAMSON SDK is available on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I am currently using it on Ubuntu 16.04.
Could you, please, check the requirements listed in the SAMSON SDK Installation Instructions. Do you have a proper gcc, cmake, and Qt installed?

Best,
Dmitriy Marin

Dear @Laëtitia ,
It should not be the last version of Qt. SAMSON SDK 0.7.0 uses Qt 5.9.3. You will find a link in the SAMSON SDK Installation Instructions.

[Laëtitia]

ok I have Qt 5.5.1, I'll install 5.9.3 and see. Thanks

[Laëtitia]

well it was not that.... but I found a solution, it wanted to be executed with sudo ?!

[DmitriyMarin]

No, it is not necessary to install it with sudo. You need to have a proper version of gcc, cmake and Qt installed. Paths to Qt should be added to your environment variables (bashrc):

export QT5_CMAKE_INCLUDE_DIR=YourQtPath/Qt5.9.3/5.9.3/gcc_64/lib/cmake/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=YourQtPath/Qt5.9.3/5.9.3/gcc_64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The SAMSON SDK installer should be made executable:

chmod +x SAMSON-Developer-Setup.run
./SAMSON-Developer-Setup.run

[Laëtitia]

I've got everything installed and compiled etc...
Thanks for your help!

Great! You can check the tutorial on building a SAMSON Element on Linux.
Feel free to ask questions if you experience any problems!

Best,
