KDE Stopmotion

Stopmotion is a program to create stop motion animations.
See https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/stopmotion for more information.

Formerly it was known under the name of Linux Stopmotion, there is
still documentation at http://linuxstopmotion.org.

INSTALLATION

You need the following packages installed to compile:
- C++ compiler (g++ or Clang)
- CMake
- pkg-config
- Qt5 >= 5.11 (development modules base, multimedia) (qtbase5-dev, qttools5-dev-tools, qttools5-dev, qtmultimedia5-dev and libqt5multimedia5-plugins)
- libarchive (libarchive-dev)
- libXML2 (libxml2-dev)
- vorbisfile (libvorbis-dev)

For example, in Ubuntu or Debian you would open a terminal and type:

sudo apt install build-essential gdb qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev qttest5-dev-tools libarchive-dev libxml2-dev libvorbis-dev pkg-config git vgrabbj uvccapture

In openSUSE you type:

sudo zypper install cmake gcc-c++ libQt5Core-devel libQt5Widgets-devel libQt5Multimedia5 libarchive-devel libvorbis-devel libxml2-devel

Once the dependencies are installed you can navigate to the source
code directory and type the following to build Stopmotion:

mkdir build-cmake
cd build-cmake
cmake ..
cmake --build .

If you want to install, make sure the user has sufficient rights (or switch to su)

cmake --install .

DEVELOPMENT

After cmake, the following make targets are available:

• make: build the project, the resulting executable is called stopmotion
• make test-stopmotion: build unit tests
• make test: run the unit tests
• make clean: remove all build products
• make install: install stopmotion

You can tell CMake to install in a specific location:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<specific/location> <path/to/source/dir>

You can also specify the path to the translation and HTML documentation path
by setting -DTRANSLATION_PATH= and -DHTML_PATH=.

Please see src/domain/undo/README.md for some notes on Stopmotion's
architecture.
