Anybody able to compile Kuickshow for 15.1?

**danielbasel** · 20-Jul-2019, 01:05

Hello,

I am looking for somebody who can make an installable rpm for Kuickshow für OS 15.1. I am willing to pay something (via paypal).
Anybody?

Kuickshow is crucial to my daily work, but unfortunately it doesn't exist for 15.1 (last version 42.3) and I am not able to compile it (I looked ab OBS but this is from another universe to which my brain doesn't have access :-) )

This weekend I install 15.1 plus some new hardware, so in case I get a positive answer here it might take a while until I am able again to answer, but I will. It is very important to me...

Thanks for your help!

Hi
This one? https://github.com/KDE/kuickshow it needs fixing for imlib2...

What about: https://bitbucket.org/andreyu/simple...gl/src/master/

I found it for 42.3 here: download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mad_soft/
but unfortunately there is none for 15.1. I don't know who is "mad-soft" and how to contact him or her...

I believe the sources are here: https://github.com/KDE/kuickshow/releases

What about: https://bitbucket.org/andreyu/simple...gl/src/master/

Looking at the screenshots this program also uses a background eating up screen space, and puts information below the image. Kuickshow simply just shows the image, and doesn't need any additional space....

Hi
Yes, that one, but like I indicated, the reason it's really failing is the move to imlib2, so the cmake bits need fixing....

I donwloaded the source kuickshow-0.9.2-4.1.src.rpm from http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...Leap_42.3/src/
I installed imlib-nogdk-devel-1.9.15 from http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...p_15.1/x86_64/
I installed the kde4-devel packages

but rpmbuild exists with error
(complete output: https://www.daniel-bauer.com/div/kuickshow_rpmbuild.txt )

imlib should be there now, how to fix cmake is something I don't understand not even a little bit. But looking at the rpmbuild output I believe it came quite close to a solution, I just don't have any idea what is still missing or fails or what I could do...

Any ideas?

Hi
Not sure I would want to build with old and likely unsupported libraries (imlib/kde4) which I suspect is the error.

If you really want the application, then would suggest raising an upstream bug with https://github.com/KDE/kuickshow ask them if they will port to imlib2, since the rest has been ported to kde/plasma5...

It does not build......

Same as yesterday....

raising an upstream bug

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you raise an upstream bug? I've been on the github page but see no possibility to enter bugs or wishes...

Hi
Ahh it's dropped package... I see this "I have switched to Gwenview from Kuickshow, since Kuickshow is discontinued" in a KDE forum thread.

Maybe the Author (email at the bottom of the github page) may offer insights? I see there was a commit last month....
