Can't install AnimeEffects on Ubuntu 17.04

[sysads]

Hi,

Anyone successfully installed app on ubuntu os?

• Install Qt5 first
• Did git clone of the app
• changed to the directory /src folder
• ran qmake but getting following errors

/home/osboxes/Downloads/AnimeEffects/src/AnimeEffects.pro:26: Unknown replace function: shell_path

I've compiled it on Kubuntu 17.04 and 17.10 with the kit from Qt Online installer - with no problems

Can you please explain in more details how you compiled it.
I tried (Ubuntu 16.04LTS) with:

cd src/
qmake
make

But I get following error:

PrimitiveDrawer.cpp: In member function ‘void gl::PrimitiveDrawer::pushStateCommand(const gl::PrimitiveDrawer::Command&)’:
PrimitiveDrawer.cpp:717:40: error: ‘class QVector<gl::PrimitiveDrawer::Command>’ has no member named ‘rbegin’
     for (auto itr = mScheduledCommands.rbegin(); itr != mScheduledCommands.rend(); ++itr)
                                        ^

Thanks for any help!

I'm using Qt Creator (and thus qmake) to build it. Nothing special about my setup.
Just download Qt Creator and open the AnimeEffects.pro file or use qmake from a terminal.

Thanks for your fast response,
just downloaded QT Creator, opened AnimeEffects.pro and clicked Build All
Got the same error.

Finally I testet the same on another machine with Ubuntu 18.04LTS, there it builds without throwing any errors and it runs when executing AnimeEffects in the root folder.

Hmm... Something must be different on your 17.xx setup then. But good you got it working :)

The binary is usually beside the .pro file or in your build directory:

... or in the project root folder 😉
