Project information: Kpovmodeler

Name: Kpovmodeler
Homepage: KpovModeler - KDE Store
License: GNU
Upstream has been contacted:

A while ago I used an application that I was very familiar with, it is kpovmodeler. In vain I have tried to look for it, or I have tried to compile it for use in modern debian installations. I would be very grateful to anyone who did it, if it was migrated as a flathub package.

Are there any alternatives? KpovModeler depends on KDE4 libraries which are long dead

There seems to be a modern update:

I managed to compile it on Ubuntu 22.04 using these commands (I didn’t run it though):

git clone https://github.com/eticre/kpovmodeler
cd kpovmodeler
sudo apt install libopengl-dev libglx-dev libgl1-mesa-dev qtbase5-dev libkf5kio-dev libkf5archive-dev libkf5parts-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev extra-cmake-modules
cmake .
make

Should work on Debian as well

I’ll try to compile it like this. Thank you so much

Thanks a lot!, I just compiled kpovmodeler on a Raspberry Pi 5, I followed faveoled’s instructions, but there are a few modifications, I also had to add libfreetype6-dev and I had to “make install” after “make”, because the menu structure of kpovmodeler was incomplete. Here is the summary:

git clone https://github.com/eticre/kpovmodeler
apt install libopengl-dev libglx-dev libgl1-mesa-dev qtbase5-dev libkf5kio-dev libkf5archive-dev libkf5parts-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev extra-cmake-modules libfreetype6-dev
cmake .
make
make install

I just ran it, rendered the default image, it works, thanks a lot :grinning:
