19.04 - Install Heimdall 1.4.2



The heimdall-flash package in the repos install Heimdall 1.4.1 but this doesn't work with my device.




How do I install version 1.4.2 on Ubuntu 19.04?



I tried downloading the source and compiling following instructions in this file, but I'm getting an error message



-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/chris/Heimdall-master/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".


This file doesn't have the word error in it.




I managed to compile Heimdall from source. The error was due to a missing dependency.



This is how I installed it:




  1. Download Heimdall from https://gitlab.com/BenjaminDobell/Heimdall/tree/v1.4.2

  2. Unzip and cd into the Heimdall folder.

  3. Install dependencies: sudo apt install qt5-default libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential cmake zlib1g-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

  4. Create build directory: mkdir build

  5. cd into it: cd build


  6. Run: `cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

  7. Run: make



Heimdall is now compiled and the binary is found in the build/bin folder.
