Avimator

[trucker33377]

is there anyone who knows how to install this? i need help with it ubuntu 8.04

The basic process is: 1) download the source tarball from their website, 2) untar the file, 3) compile the software

This is not as easy for beginner linux users as I've made it out to be. Here is a nice guide to help you along your way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

first off im told that i should use QAVIMATOR but i dont seem to understand how to get that one at there site im pointed to a revision page with a list of files.

* COPYING
* Doxyfile
* TODO
* bin/
* documentation/
* examples/
* icons/
* libquat/
* qavimator.pro
* src/
* templates/
I'm just not that good with linux. Ive made things work with tar files but that about as far as ive made it

To get qavimator you need to use a program called svn (short for subversion). First, install svn on your computer sudo apt-get install svn
Then you need to get the files by running svn with their directory as an input: svn co https://qavimator.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qavimator qavimator

Now you should have that file tree in a folder on your computer. And just like the download page from qavimator explains, you simply need to execute these commands to get things up and running: cd qavimator/
./compile
./bin/qavimator

You may run into missing dependencies along the way of those last three commands (specifically the second one), so it's possible you'll need to read some error messages (always look at the first error) and go hunting for some libraries (use 'apt-cache search {packagename}' or 'apt-file search {filename}' replacing {somethingname} with the actual name).

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread, but Im trying to install qavimator and I'm getting stuck here:


Now you should have that file tree in a folder on your computer. And just like the download page from qavimator explains, you simply need to execute these commands to get things up and running: cd qavimator/
./compile
./bin/qavimator


When I try the second (compile) command it tells me:

bash: ./compile: No such file or directory

Not sure which package I need (Linux newbie, in case you haven't noticed ;-)

TIA!

Nobody? :( Don't suppose its available as a deb package?
I've also tried qmake and make, with all updated dependencies in place. Qmake gives no output, make has a big error dump, as follows:

Thanks!

I should have made a clear warning in my previous post that this is not even alpha software yet, it's not really ready for newbies to use. The SVN checkout looks at the most recent development snapshot, and as such, things are bound to break, change, improve, fail, and otherwise be unstable. I'd use a different app until this one makes a stable release, or until you're more comfortable with reading through source code.

[dyingsun]

Ok, will have a look at something else :)

Thanks for your reply!

Thought I'd throw this is out there. I have qavimator up and running using this thread from the qavimator forums:
http://forum.qavimator.org/viewtopic.php?t=820
So far, the only issue, and it sort of makes it unusable until I find the fix, is the window won't resize verticly, so can't reach the rather important buttons along the bottm edge.
Still looking for the solution.
