Installation & Update

Installation

If you perform an installation from sources, you must resolve missing dependencies.

  1. Download the sources of QPictureDownloader (145.89 KiB, 33 downloads)
  2. Unpack the sources:
    $ tar xvzf qpicturedownloader-2.0.0.tar.gz
  3. Enter in the source tree:
    $ cd qpicturedownloader-2.0.0 
  4. Create the Makefile:
    $ chmod +x ./configure 
    $ ./configure

    The script may fail when it isn't able to detect the tool qmake belonging to the toolkit Qt 4.x. In that case you must save in the environment variable QMAKE the path to the homonymous program and execute the script again.

    $ QMAKE=<path-to-qmake> ./configure
  5. Costruire QPictureDownloader:
    $ make 
  6. Installare QPictureDownloader:
    $ su -c "make install"
    Password: <your password>

In the affirmative case, a label is shown in the very right of the status bar and it may be clicked to open in the default browser a page describing the instructions for the update.
