A simple vector graphics animation program.
- C++17 compliant compiler
- Qt6 >= 6.2
- CMake >= 3.5
- Python3
- Potrace
- libav (libavformat, libswscale, libavcodec, libavutil) >= 59
- libarchive
- KF6
You can find the code on GitLab.
To clone with git:
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/mattbas/glaxnimate.git
If you are building from git, ensure your submodules are up to date
git submodule update --init --recursive
Standard CMake build commands work
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j 4 # This uses 4 cores to compile
It will produce the executable bin/glaxnimate relative to the build directory
Install the dependencies:
apt install -y g++ cmake extra-cmake-modules \
qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-svg-dev qt6-image-formats-plugins \
libpython3-dev libpotrace-dev zlib1g-dev \
libarchive-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev \
libkf6coreaddons-dev libkf6crash-dev libkf6widgetsaddons-dev libkf6xmlgui-dev \
libkf6archive-dev libkf6completion-dev libkf6iconthemes-dev
The generic cmake commands listed above should work.
Install the dependencies:
pacman -S git base-devel cmake extra-cmake-modules python zlib hicolor-icon-theme \
potrace ffmpeg qt6-base qt6-tools qt6-imageformats qt6-svg
The generic cmake commands listed above should work.
Install the dependencies with homebrew:
brew install cmake extra-cmake-modules qt@6 python potrace ffmpeg libarchive

Build with cmake, specifying the Qt installation path:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DKF_MAJOR=6 -DQT_MAJOR_VERSION=6 -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 -DQt6_DIR="$(brew --prefix qt@6)/lib/cmake/Qt6" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(brew --prefix qt@6)/lib/cmake/Qt6Designer"
make
To simplify the build process, you can also use the provided scripts (currently not completely working with homebrew Qt5 / Apple Silicon, so prefer the above method):
./deploy/mac_build.sh deps
./deploy/mac_build.sh configure
./deploy/mac_build.sh build
Install MSYS2, select "Mingw-w64 64 bit".
To simplify the build process, you can use the provided scripts:
./deploy/win_build.sh deps
./deploy/win_build.sh configure
./deploy/win_build.sh build
See https://develop.kde.org/docs/packaging/android/
There are some utility make targets to run the apk
# List available virtual devices (you need to create them separately)
make android_avd_list
# Start virtual device ("device" is from `make android_avd_list`)
make android_avd_start DEVICE="device"
# Build the APK
make glaxnimate_apk -j8
# Install and run the APK on the running AVD
make android_install
# Attach to the output
make android_log
Once you have an AVD running (or a debug phone connected) you can run a single line:
make glaxnimate_apk -j8 && make android_install && make android_log
Could not determine java version
Qt downloads an old version of gradle, so if you get an error that your
Java version cannot be recognize find the file gradle-wrapper.properties
and update it to version 5.1 or later.
Incompatible target / Undefined reference / Redefinition
Sometimes qmake messes up the build, the best option is to remove the build
directory created by Qt Creator and rebuild.
Invalid MinSdkVersion
Depending on which version of the Android SDK you have, you might have to select
a different value in src/android/android/AndroidManifest.xml.
libc++.so not found
The Android toolkit stuff has some wrong paths, it can be fixed like this:
sudo mkdir /opt/android
sudo ln -s $HOME/Android/Sdk/ndk/21.1.6352462/ /opt/android/android-ndk-r19c
Where $HOME/Android/Sdk/ndk/21.1.6352462/ is the directory that Qt creator
used to install the Android NDK, and /opt/android/android-ndk-r19c is the
directory mentioned in the error message.
Cannot set up Android, not building an APK / Application binary is not in output directory
Sometimes it does that, building again usually fixes it.
Assuming you configured / compiled for your target system, to install to a specific directory, run the following commands:
# Ensure the translations files are compiled
make translations
# Install under /installation/path
make install DESTDIR=/installation/pathIf you want to just install on your system, you don't need to specify DESTDIR.
