How do i compile software.
I downloaded knotter and want to check it out.
http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entr ... design-app

EDIT: Both 32 and 64 bit versions now compiled.Read on for further information.

I also downloaded the online-installer run file but Fedora tells me there is no application to open the file?

Knotter has to "Qt Framework" as a dependency. You need first install basic build tools for compiling in Fedora, then "qmake" and Qt4 development tools.
You tell me where you downloaded the .run file, so I can see how to install it.
By the way, you can try to run the file from the terminal. First make sure it is executable, or else make it executable: "chmod +x file.run"
Then run it with (if it requires root privileges): "sudo ./file.run"

Thanks Yafu, you can get the run file here
http://qt-project.org/downloads

This works


now i should be able to compile the src files.

I thought you were referring to an installer for Knotter

Great that you could find the packages for Fedora

I had to fix the makefile
i still get errors though. Any ideas?



Makefile attached

It seems to be something wrong with the line 232 of file src/graphics/knot_curve_style.cpp.
I think it should be reported to the developer. Or maybe someone who knows programming can know how to correct that lines.

I reported it at Libre graphics.

Did you tried with the latest code from Git?
Install git from Fedora repo, and:

Enter to the directory "knotter-code" (Open the terminal on that path), and try to compile.

Edit: I could compile and install from git. But when you run the program (executing "knotter" binary) it goes into what seems an infinite loop and collapses my system (64bit)
Edit again: I was able to compile the 0.4.0 version. Maybe your problem is with the version of qt devel tools? (mine is 4.8.1). Likewise I have the same problem with the git (today) version.

As Mattia says in the LibreGraphic, RAM problem is fixed.
Here I share the 64-bit binary:

I am using 32 bit Linux though.

I get this error on compile now with Fedora.
Almost there.

Its been reported to the author.

I am going to try the GIT clone once.

Yes ... success with the git clone.
Thanks Yafu.
i will have the upload available for 32 bit Linux soon.

You've exported as svg?
What kind of error you get? Copy the error message here.
I've been able to export to Inkskape

No i have Cairo Dock and i cant get this app or Inkscape to dock there.
I can export to SVG fine.
I did get an error and crash after doing something in the software but i cant duplicate it so i didn't report it.If it happens again i will.

If anyone is interested in the 32 bit binary for Fedora let me know and i will upload it otherwise i will save the room on my server.

You are welcome to post it here, Rod. We have plenty of server space.

Thanks Tux i added the program to another topic.

Yafu have you compiled 5.0 yet?
Are there any significant changes to the tools?
