KXStitch [ SOLVED ]

Gordon · 2012-05-24 15:38:43

Hi Folks,

Here again this time with a program problem. I can find kxstitch in the package manager but it is an old an outdated version. I know that I can use git to download the latest version but some of the components that it needs are not available through package manager. My question is can I use Mint Debian repro's to get the required packages or will this cause a problem on my system or rather your program CrunchBang.

The required packages that are missing are ;-

libmagickcore
libmagickcore4
ibmagickcore4-extra
libmagickwand4
libmagick++4

EDIT

Forgot to ask which of the repro's would I need to add to my sources.list smile :)

Hello Gordon, how is it going smile

You can add LMDE's sources and just get these packages, though there's no guarantee it works.

You would add the LMDE sources, do a

sudo apt-get update

(no upgrade!) And then check the package versions and source where it would come from:

apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME

then install these needed packages, remove the entry from the sources.list again, and it should be okay.

No warranty smile

Edit:

I doubt that LMDE has the libmagickcore4 package, because: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywo … agickcore4

I don't even find it in Sid (unstable) on my system, so i doubt that LMDE has them. I'll have a look and let you know.

couldn't you also just use the sid repos? Google tells me that's where your packages are. if so you might want to read here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … se-to-sid/
(written by mr bacon himself, so i'm counting on him to chime in here if it doesn't apply anymore to the latest #! release...)

machinebacon · 2012-05-24 16:17:40

^ Update smile The packages libmagickcore and related are not in the repositories, probably due to breakages (libmagickcore5 is available, though)

This is what we have in unstable:

# apt-cache search libmagick*
libmagic-dev - File type determination library using "magic" numbers (development)
libmagic1 - File type determination library using "magic" numbers
graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat - image processing libraries providing ImageMagick interface
libmagick++-dev - object-oriented C++ interface to ImageMagick - development files
libmagick++5 - object-oriented C++ interface to ImageMagick
libmagickcore-dev - low-level image manipulation library - development files
libmagickcore5 - low-level image manipulation library
libmagickcore5-extra - low-level image manipulation library - extra codecs
libmagickwand-dev - image manipulation library - development files
libmagickwand5 - image manipulation library

So from what I see you can not get libmagickcore and those ending with ...4 - at least in Sid. No idea about LMDE.

You can check for yourself on your system with apt-cache search libmagick* which versions would be available

Nope, sorry rhowaldt. big_smile 4 got replaced with 5, but the main package is not available. Or did I miss something? smile

Edit: The guide is still OK, but it doesn't really help Gordon.

^ dunno if you missed something, i think you are generally more knowledgeable about this stuff than i am. what i did was to simply google one of those mentioned packages: http://packages.debian.org/sid/libmagick++4

machinebacon · 2012-05-24 17:59:41

Google alone helps not big_smile

Click your own link, notice the 'debports' label and scroll down to the bottom of the page wink

rhowaldt · 2012-05-24 18:37:49

^ aha! unofficial ports for a handful of architectures. thanks, that was the enlightenment i was hoping for. smile

Gordon · 2012-05-25 17:24:10

Hi Folks,

Sorry for the slow reply but I have been trying to get the packages that I require. LMDE does have the required packages as I used to use the program while I was using it. However having said that it is missing one package libkde4-devel-4.6.0-6.17.1 which I have located and downloaded the i586 version which I hope is the right one. I only have a 32 bit machine. It came down as am rpm file so now all I have to do is figure out how to install it.

Wish me luck smile I will keep you posted smile :)

machinebacon · 2012-05-25 17:26:40

You can use "alien" to convert.

Good luck, hope it will go well for you smile

Gordon · 2012-05-25 18:13:14

Hi machinebacon

Thanks for that but I have already converted it using alien before I saw your post but it has caused a new problem now. I am about to start a new query Installation headache. It sort of relates to this one in a way

machinebacon · 2012-05-25 18:18:38

I'm on Debian sid, if you like I download this KXstitch and check if it compiles or even runs by default here.

To me it seems that going the way over other repos, source packages and even rpm to deb conversion is not the optimal idea and that there might be a reason why certain things don't want to work - upstream.

Gordon · 2012-06-01 14:38:02

Hi Folks

Well as you can see I have at last managed to solve the problems with a lot of help from all of you and a large amount of help from the programs author a Mr Stephen Allewell

All's well that ends well smile :)

I will put a list of required files / programs on when I have managed to find them so that anyone else trying to use KXStitch will be able to see them

machinebacon · 2012-06-01 14:53:07

Congratulations, well done!

Nice to see that the developer helped you with it, really nice.

Gordon · 2012-06-01 20:43:05

Hi Folks

As promised here is a list of programs / files that you need to make kxstitch to work on #!

Cmake

git 

imagemagick
imagemagick-common
imagemagick-extra

kdelibs5-dev
kdelibs5-data

libmagick++-dev
libmagick++5
libmagickcore-dev
libmagickcore5
libmagickcore5-extra
libmagickwand5
libmagickwand-dev

You need to create a environment varialble

KDEDIRS=/usr:/usr/include:/usr/lib:/usr/local:/usr/share:/etc

and the link to kxstitch

git clone git://kxstitch.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/kxstitch/kxstitch

If you and or your partner are into doing cross stitch this is a great program for you to create your own designs in

If you moderators think this would be better placed elsewhere please move it

Have fun, see you on the other side
