#47 Molsketch 0.8.3 (Flatpak / Debian 13) crashes on save and open

[GGG]

Hello,

I am using the Molsketch available in Flathub (0.8.3) in Debian 13 but the app crashes whenever I try to either open a file or save a file.

I have not tried to compile the tarball.

Hi GGG,
thank you very much for reporting. I have a bit of a hunch as something similar has been reported for NetBSD lately. Would you happen to have a stacktrace from the crash?

Best,
Hendrik

Ok, found the issue. Fix is pushed to github; can you maybe build from there (main branch) and check?

[Hendrik Vennekate]

New version 0.8.4 released; this should fix the issue. Many thanks again for reporting; please re-open if the issue persists.

I tried to cmake the tarball but ran into a bunch of Qt stuff I was not able to resolve.

As soon as version 0.8.4 gets pushed to flathub, I'll be more than happy to test the flatpak version.

Thanks.

UPDATE

I installed these packages via apt: qt6-base-dev, qt6-base-dev-tools, qt6-tools-dev-tools, qt6-wayland-dev-tools and linguist-qt6. Nonetheless the build errors persist:

CMake Error at include_qt.cmake:13 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6/Qt6Config.cmake

  but it set Qt6_FOUND to FALSE so package "Qt6" is considered to be NOT
  FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  Failed to find required Qt component "LinguistTools".

  Expected Config file at
  "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6LinguistTools/Qt6LinguistToolsConfig.cmake"
  does NOT exist



  Configuring with --debug-find-pkg=Qt6LinguistTools might reveal details why
  the package was not found.

  Configuring with -DQT_DEBUG_FIND_PACKAGE=ON will print the values of some
  of the path variables that find_package uses to try and find the package.

Never mind. Just realized the flatpak is 0.8.4 despite the page saying it is 0.8.3.

So far so good, save and open are working fine. Thanks for the fix.
