musescore_2.0b-1_amd64.deb won't install in ubuntu 14-04
Hi,
I downloaded musescore_2.0b-1_amd64.deb a few weeks ago and tried to install it with gdebi installer.
However in won't install with the error:
Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt5core5a(>=5.3.0).
However, the latest version in ubuntu trusty is 5.2.1 and apt-get install libqt5core5a gives:
"libqt5core5a is already the latest version".
If version 5.3.0 is required, please provide it in the package. ubuntu trusty tar is an LTS distribution and I can not upgrade to later less stable versions.
Please advice.
Greetings,
J.L. Blom

have a look at http://musescore.org/en/node/33181
also if you just want to test 2.0 try to install "my" nightly from http://prereleases.musescore.org/linux/nightly/ There will be problems but I could help.
However this nightly also does rely on Qt 5.3

Robert,
Thanks for your reply that clarifies a lot. However, as I wrote I don't want to upgrade to 14.10 as I stick since 2006 to the LTS distributions ( after having problems with the intermediate ones). I have to install it on several systems and many users are well, not complete computer illiterates but not accustomed to changes (they are former windows users) but not accustomed to a yearly overhaul of there system.
Do you know if it's possible to install QT 5.3 in 14.04. The other option I have of course is to run 14.10 in a virtual environment and there do the testing.
Looking forward to your reply,
Joep

I'm pretty sure it can be done. You don't need a whole new ubuntu to install a particular program so long as you can get to the code for it. I run xubuntu 12.04 64-bit AMD and have installed Qt 5.3.2. Even then, though, I couldn't get the MuseScore Linux Nightlies to run. I built 2.0 Beta 1 from source and it runs fine, though.
I can't remember the exact steps as I basically just googled it, copied some command-line stuff and pasted it in a terminal. It involves adding a PPA (LP-PPA-ubuntu-sdk-team/precise in my case) to your repository list, installing Qt, making sure your $PATH points to Qt and then following instructions on this forum for building MuseScore from source.
I suspect that I went to the Qt site (http://qt-project.org/) and found the answer to the first part in the wiki there.

Yes ! See http://musescore.org/fr/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instruc…
I «enjoy» Qt-5.3.1 in my Mint17 (=Ubuntu 14.04)
This installation is a first step, and you have to tell explicitly where it lays.
For that I have a ~/.bashrc file with the following line
PATH=/home/leleu/Qt5/5.3/gcc_64/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/gamesAn I have a ~/musescore/lancemscore which reads
#!/bin/bash#lancemscore
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/leleu/Qt5/5.3/gcc_64/plugins/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/leleu/Qt5/5.3/gcc_64/lib/
cd /home/leleu/musescore/MuseScore/build.release/mscore/
./mscore
/home/leleu/musescore/MuseScore/build.release/ being the repertoryof the available mscore binary
In reply to Yes ! See by robert leleu
to correct a small error, the above last line should read

(I did not try it), and presumably it will not deliver a «nightly» but it should be an easy way (easier than the nightlies) to have a glance at 2.0
