[Celestia-developers] Fwd: celestia QT4 on linux (movie support)

[Bernard G. <ber...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am proposing again this patch which seems to have been forgotten. It
would not be good to release the QT4 version of celestia without movie
support on Linux. I know the patch implements very basic support but
it's better than nothing.

Thanks.

Hi all,

The Celestia QT4 interface on linux builds without movie capture support.
I propose a very simple patch (attached file) to get this feature into
the QT4 version.
OggTheoraCapture is used when WIN32 is not defined. This might also
work on OS X (and could also work on Win32) if theora is installed.
Tested only on Linux as I don't have any OS X and Win boxes.

The patch concerns the file qtappwin.cpp.
Also the unix specific part of the qmake project file celestia.pro is modified.
The include and libraries path and version are what to expect on a
modern Debian system (also Ubuntu) except for SPICE which can be
anywhere (which is why I chose /opt).

Also I was wondering why we don't hear much about the QT4 version of
Celestia. I never found a package for any Linux distribution. Is it
not ready for shipping? Are there any drawbacks? missing features?
I have just started playing with it and it seems fine to me, but I
could be missing something.

Kind regards,

      Bernard
