About

A simple vector graphics animation program.

Dependencies

• C++17 compliant compiler
• Qt5 (qtbase) >= 5.12
• CMake >= 3.5
• Python3
• ZLib
• Potrace
• libav (libavformat, libswscale, libavcodec, libavutil) >= 59

Getting the Latest Code

You can find the code on GitLab.

To clone with git:

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/mattbas/glaxnimate.git

Building

Generic Overview

If you are building from git, ensure your submodules are up to date

git submodule update --init --recursive

Standard CMake build commands work

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j 4 # This uses 4 cores to compile

It will produce the executable bin/glaxnimate relative to the build directory

Deb-based systems (Ubuntu, Debian, etc)

Install the dependencies:

apt-get install -y g++ cmake qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev libpython3-dev zlib1g-dev libpotrace-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev

The generic cmake commands listed above should work.

MacOS

Install the dependencies with homebrew:

brew install cmake qt python potrace ffmpeg

Build with cmake, specifying the Qt installation path:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DQt5_DIR="$(brew --prefix qt)/lib/cmake/Qt5" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(brew --prefix qt)/lib/cmake/Qt5Designer"
make

Windows

Install MSYS2, select "Mingw-w64 64 bit" when asked, and run these commands on a it:

# Set up dependencies
pacman --noconfirm -Sy
pacman --noconfirm -Su
# Restart msys2 before continuing
pacman --noconfirm -S \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-python \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg  \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-potrace  \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain \
    make

# Build
# cd to where the code is
mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe .. \
    -DQt5_DIR=/mingw64/lib/cmake/Qt5 \
    -DZLIB_LIBRARY=/mingw64/lib/libz.a \
    -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/mingw64/lib/" \
    -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR=/mingw64/include \
    -G "MSYS Makefiles"
make

# Copy library files because windows is weird like that
windeployqt.exe bin/glaxnimate.exe
cp /mingw64/bin/*.dll bin
cp ./external/Qt-Color-Widgets/libQtColorWidgets.dll bin
