qutycapt

CutyCapt is a program to grab a web page and render it as a png. Has anyone ever actually gotten it to compile?

After a while wrestling with just finding the damn thing (I swear these sites hide the links to the source tarballs with great deliberation and forethought) I found the source to consist of the following:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bob users 23876 Mar 16 22:45 CutyCapt.cpp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bob users  2250 Mar 16 22:45 CutyCapt.hpp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bob users   297 Mar 16 22:45 CutyCapt.pro

Ah, an old school no-make-file compile. Yeah, I can do that ... or so I thought...

Code:

$ gcc -o try CutyCapt.cpp 
CutyCapt.cpp:26:10: fatal error: QApplication: No such file or directory
 #include <QApplication>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
$

Can anyone supply a clue? Have I got missing source files? Do I need to do a special dance?

Are these the development libraries? As you use LFS, which I do not have any experience with, I “may presume” that you compiled the Qt-libraries yourself. If not, either do that or get whatever qualifies as a Qt-development environment under LFS.

And [Aheam; cleaning my throat], could you modify the thread-title to give a better hint on the topic, which is more compilation- than application-related.

TIA.

open the .proj file in qtcreator, I had to comment out the QPrinter bits, lines 285-289 in cutty.cpp after that built fine.

Or manually

Code:

moc CutyCapt.hpp -o moc_CutyCapt.cpp
g++ -fPIC $(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/qt5/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --cflags --libs  Qt5Widgets Qt5WebKit Qt5Svg Qt5WebKitWidgets Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets) CutyCapt.cpp moc_CutyCapt.cpp -o cutty

You may have to change the PKG_config path.
This is actually a nice little tool.

Minor update for QT 5.8.0 ( maybe other versions ).
The QPrinter problem is this define

Code:

#if QT_VERSION < 0x050000
#include <QPrinter>
#endif

at Line 31.

Just remove the #if/#endif and leave the #include and the QPrinter error goes away at line 285 allowing you to save the OP to pdf.
You also need to add "Qt5PrintSupport" to the pkg-config command like so:

Code:

 
g++ -fPIC $(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/qt5/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --cflags --libs  Qt5Widgets Qt5WebKit Qt5Svg Qt5WebKitWidgets Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets Qt5PrintSupport) CutyCapt.cpp moc_CutyCapt.cpp -o cutty

Hope this helps

No cutty.ccp here. Looks like I've got missing files. That would explain everything.

Sorry typo I meant CutyCapt.cpp NOT cutty.ccp.

Oh! Understood! Thank you.
