Tupi runs a fundraiser on Kickstarter to boost development

Has anyone attempted to build for Windows?
Question to the experts QT (Mattia Basaglia or Rod):
What is the one mistake?

I think QT 5 creates a problem - is to be used QT 4 ?
[http://qt-project.org/wiki/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5]

Code: Select all

Qt::escape is deprecated

    error: 'escape' is not a member of 'Qt'

So you would change the following block:

        if (result == QString())
            result = Qt::escape(val.toString());
        else
            result = Qt::escape(result);
        return result;

to

        if (result == QString())
            result = QString(val.toString()).toHtmlEscaped();
        else
            result = QString(result).toHtmlEscaped();
        return result;

Someone tried to compile Tupi - in Linux ?
With what result ? In what version of QT ?

Hi MareroQ. I have not tried to compile this for Windows with QT. Where did you obtain the source?
Is it available at GITHUB?

Hi Marero! I read about Tupi. My understanding is that the devs recomment to build with Qt 4.7 exclusively.
So whoever tried to compile it with Qt 5 made a mistake.
The devs also say that the current git version is under intensive development and they are releasing updated version every week.
Compiling every week is quite a commitment for anyone.
Tupi team has some interesting ideas but so far they remain to be just exactly that, the ideas.
If you need vector based 2D animator today - Synfig Studio is well known to 2d animators free OSS with well established legacy.

Thanks for Your comment and clarification.
I will try with QT 4.7 - on the weekend (but I think I'll start with Linux - Ubuntu
