Yes that was the trouble i had with compiling it on Fedora. "boost"
Is that boost-devel, cmake and boost-math?

You can scale/rotate nodes while dragging and using the mouse wheel (just wheel to scale, hold shift to rotate)
I know this is cumbersome, I need to work out a way to make it easier (I think I'll make this work like inkscape does)
but this is not trivial so it will take some time.


I can host the package but I need to know the license for the included libraries and their sources.


Boost can be disabled on qmake by setting BOOST=no, configure.sh will disable if it cannot be found or passing --without-boost
Right now removing Boost does no harm to the program, in the future Boost will allow more command-line options (most likely not much useful for Windows users).

The boost library used is program_options, sadly it's one of the few Boost library that require linking

I installed boost-devel, cmake and boost-math and it compiled fine for me after that in Fedora.
Although at launch it couldn't seem to find the svg images?

Those are the theme icons. Did they get loaded in previous versions?

They should be loaded from the system icon theme. If it fails you can configure like this:

And it will use the icons in themes/tango-icons as a replacement.

The error messages point to img/*.svg because that's how Knotter looks for icons that are not in the current theme.

[edit]
I see from the screenshot that you get windows style for widgets, is there a particular reason for that to happen?

Yes they loaded fine in my last git compile.
Thanks Mbasagli.I will give that a go.

Cool; really should read the manual then mbasagli. lol

Rotate and scale worked great. Also, you can press ctrl to zoom in and out via scroll button too (found that my accident; lol). Thanks for the extra info.

And Rod just ninja'd me.

Knotter manual (0.6.1 dev) - the first message.
For more accessible (Sourceforge site) should only programs with no known bugs (for Windows)

The fact that the manual window shows the message is a good sign, it means that everything is working, it's should only be a problem related to the file location.

I've added to the message the locations it's trying when it attempts to load the manual so the problem can be tracked. This can be downloaded from git (version 0.6.1debug).
If you try this I need to know:
* The message given by the manual window
* The location of knotter.exe
* The URL the browser show when you open user_guide.htm externally
(If the urls contain personal informations you can hide them, but then tell me how they differ from one another)

Does the manual window show up that small or did you resize it?
It should be created with a size of 800x600 (+ Window decorations)

Version 0.6.2 - Good work for Linux (Ubuntu 12-64 bit)
For Win XP back problems ...

I'm still greatful for 0.6.1 MareroQ.

If you have updated the sources but compiling in the same directory from Creator, the segmentation fault may be caused by old object files and can be solved by a rebuild (or clean+build).
If it's a bug can you give me a screenshot of the call stack?
Thanks for testing Knotter!

Hi Mattia !
As several users on this site - I am very interested in Your program - but unfortunately, i am an amateur in QT.
According to me there was a problem in Windows when you add the Debugger (version 4.6.2?).
Now build (0.7.0) ends without an error - but you could see running QT Creator Debugger ... and then the error GDM.
Can you write (as in kindergarten) to disable this feature?

You can skip the debugger if you run the application via Build -> Run (Ctrl+R), or the plain green arrow (without the blue beetle).

You can ensure you are compiling Knotter with or without debugging symbols disabled from the project profile (see screenshot)

Do you run in mode Debug and Relase - the message (from version 0.6.2?) Is always present ....

ps. Possible was a mistake on my system - so I repeated compilation for 0.6 - does it work - 0.7 does not...

What happens if you try to launch the executable from outside Creator?
( The executable should be called knotter.exe )

Regardless of the version of the build (Debug or Release) - the same message Qt Creator Debugger

Using MinGW
Knotter 0.7.0 Win32 bit
http://maxshare.pl/44f
Mattia - can cuddle on http://sourceforge.net/projects/knotter/files/ ?
Edit: removed link - newer version is further

Thanks for the update MareroQ; 0.7 works fine. Wish the author would allow your compiles to be shared at Sourceforge (and give you credit too for your effort).

I can add a README_WINDOWS.txt and include credits for the extra files and the build.

Qt*.dll
Are fine (GPLv3)

KnotterSwithforGimp.py
Says "Copyright 2011 Rob Antonishen" but doesn't specify any license. I can't redistribute it if I don't know the license.

libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll, mingwm10.dll
Should be fine.
If I understand correctly the MinGW licensing terms they are in the public domain; if they are not in the public domain they should be GPLv3+ as the whole GCC which is fine.

phonon4.dll
I don't know what that is or what the licensing terms are.

Are the building issue solved?
Does the user guide work from Knotter UI?

All files (outside libstdc + +-6.dll) come from Qt SDK version 1.2.1.
KnotterSwithforGimp.py - This fragment of code ShellOut.py -is: The GNU Public License is available at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html.


Yes.The solution was to remove the debug (only relase) the building from your code.


No.I'll try in the next week
