Qt5 version

[lepalom]

I have seen that graspit has in its dependencies all refered to Qt4:

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-opengl-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-sql-psql
sudo apt-get install libsoqt4-dev

Qt4 is not longer active neither provided by any modern Linux distro, so graspit will be unusable soon. There's any plan to migrate to Qt5?

Are there any updates or workaround on this matter? Can anyone recommend alternatives to graspit on Ubuntu 20.04?

Use branch qt5, then use the following commands to build graspit:

sudo apt install -y cmake libsoqt520 libsoqt520-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev libqhull-dev libeigen3-dev git
sudo apt update
mkdir $HOME/dependencies/
cd ~/dependencies
git clone https://github.com/graspit-simulator/graspit.git -b qt5
cd graspit
export GRASPIT=$PWD
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
