K3DSurf vs MathMod

[nextstep]

Hi all,
Just to mention that right now I'm working a a new application, MathMod, as a remplacement of K3DSurf.
You can download the latest source code of MathMod v1.0 from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/p/mathmod/bra...HEAD/tree/1.0/
The new sourceforge project is : http://sourceforge.net/projects/mathmod/
( We hope that one day, MathMod will make its way to the Ubuntu Repos, as K3dSurf once did )
Bugs reports and comments are welcome
Have a fun

Well downloaded the src zip file, what am I supposed to do with it? There is no instruction or documentation and the readme file is empty.

There is one at https://sourceforge.net/projects/mat...s/MathMod-1.0/ :
*****************************************
Binary information:
A 32Bit Windows version of MathMod-1.0-Alpha is provided in the "bin" folder
Source code compilation:
The source code is available in the "src" folder Use QtCreator from Qt5.x to compile this project
MathMod roadmap:
MathMod V 1.0 Alpha (done)
MathMod V 1.0 Beta
MathMod V 1.0 release candidate
MathMod V 1.0 stable (April 2014)
*******************************************
Also, the stable release will include an install/uninstall process and a documentation for beginners in the mathematical modelling.

Well those are not really instructions. How to use qtcreator to compile? I don't think the version in the 13.10 repo is 5.x btw (I could be wrong on that) I will just wait for the stable release.

Hi,
MathMod-1.0-Beta is available for download from : https://sourceforge.net/projects/mat...hMod-1.0/Beta/
Three precompiled packages are available :
MathMod 64/32 Bit for Windows
MathMod for Linux-Ubuntu 64Bit (you should however install Qt5)
Cheers

Thank you Volton

Thanks for reviving this project. Among the currently available downloads, there is one labelled Linux64. The .zip file contains two .js files and one binary file with no file extension. Is it just a binary blob meant to be executed? I'm not entirely clear on the instructions for compiling, so I might also wait for the RC. Will there be a .deb file for installation on Ubuntu?

[nextstep]

MathMod was compiled under Ubuntu 64Bit with Qt5.2.
The binary needs some libs from qt5 to be installed before running.
If you dont know exactly what to do, the easiest way is to install a Qt5 program that will install the needed library in the same process.
You can install, for example "Qt Creator" (look for it and install it with the Ubuntu Software Centre).Runing the binary after that should be OK
The ziped package should work for all Linux distro (Ubuntu, Debbian, Suze, Fedora, Schlakware...) and, for now, I can't support all there packaging file formats.
Cheers

OK, thanks. And if I want to compile from source, you mention to use the Qt5 creator program. If I want to build a deb package I would normally run something like dpkg-buildpackage from the source directory. Is that an option, or is it necessary to use the Qt5 creator to go straight to the binary?
