Qt5 Config not found for 2021.1 build

[oliverdrozdowski]

Hello,

I am trying to reinstall 2021.1 on a new Mac, as I have been working on a project for Chaste, which is not updated and tested to the 2024 release(s) yet.
I have been using Chaste Docker for the old builds without any problems on my old computer. I now tried the same, specifically installing the 2021.1 version with the command

docker build -t chaste:custom --build-arg GIT_TAG=2021.1 https://github.com/chaste/chaste-docker.git

as written in the tutorial. However, the build_chaste script apparently does not work, as it cannot find a Qt5 config in the cmake step.

The output is

[build 1/1] RUN build_chaste.sh 2021.1:

57.41 You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
57.41 changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
57.41 state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.
57.41 
57.41 If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
57.41 do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:
57.41 
57.41   git switch -c <new-branch-name>
57.41 
57.41 Or undo this operation with:
57.41 
57.41   git switch -
57.41 
57.41 Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

Is it possible to fix this?

[fcooper8472]

@oliverdrozdowski apologies for the slow reply. I've left some detailed comments on #28 .

Fundamentally, this is expected: 2021.1 is an old version of Chaste that will not work with the dependencies available in a new Ubuntu.

I suspect that on your previous machine, you would have been using an older version of Ubuntu as the base image. Generally speaking, we would expect a released version of Chaste to work with (at least) the LTS version of Ubuntu immediately before it. So, 2021.1 would work with Ubuntu 20.04.

Option 1 (preferable)

If at all possible, upgrade to using the latest version of Chaste. A significant amount of infrastructure work has been completed in the last few years to make Chaste easier to use on modern systems, so that is likely to be easiest.

If you run into any problems migrating your own code to a newer Chaste, please feel free to open discussions here: https://github.com/Chaste/Chaste/discussions. We review that board at least weekly, so we're likely to reply promptly to any questions posted there.

Option 2

If you must work with an older Chaste, you can specify an older base image using:

--build-arg BASE=<base>

where <base> might be, for instance focal for Ubuntu 20.04.

Due to some recent changes to the Docker infrastructure, that will not quite work out-of-the-box, but you can see the two changes that would be needed in the diff in #28. After that, I would suggest cloning your own Chaste into a bare image, following the instructions in part iii. of https://github.com/Chaste/chaste-docker?tab=readme-ov-file#building-your-own-image.

In short, clone the chaste-docker repo, and modify the Dockerfile as above, and then from that directory create your image with:

docker build -t chaste:custom --build-arg GIT_TAG=- --build-arg BASE=focal .

Then run it:

docker run --init -it --rm -v chaste_data:/home/chaste chaste:custom

and clone Chaste 2021.1.

There is no guarantee that this will work, though, especially as that version of Chaste would never have been tested on an arm64 architecture. We can, again, try to help with troubleshooting, but your best bet would be to migrate to the latest Chaste.
