Set up ppa for ubuntu users and release new version

[gort818]

Iron out some bugs, set up a ppa, rewrite readme and release a new version.

[gort818]

Just tested with Linux mint 19 and works like a charm, need to set up ppa for ubuntu and mint users.

[NoXPhasma]

Any progress on your efforts to date? Would be nice to have an easy way to install this app.

[gort818]

Hey there, unfortunate no as I am not an avid ubuntu user. I have never set up a ppa before.. just have not found the time yet :( If you anyone has some experience or the time to do I would greatly appreciate it.

[NoXPhasma]

Unfortunately I can't even build it on my own, as it complains about my version of qtwebengine (5.9.5) has no ScrollBar support.

[gort818]

You should be able to build it , what is the exact message you are getting.

[NoXPhasma]

mainwindow.cpp:42:27: error: ‘ShowScrollBars’ is not a member of ‘QWebEngineSettings’
       QWebEngineSettings::ShowScrollBars, false);
                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makefile:448: recipe for target 'mainwindow.o' failed

[NoXPhasma]

Ok, I was able to build it, after I've uncommented the scrollbar parts out of mainwindow.cpp

//#define HAS_SCROLLBAR
........
// Check for QT if equal or greater than 5.10 hide scrollbars        
//#ifdef HAS_SCROLLBAR
// webview->settings()->setAttribute(
//      QWebEngineSettings::ShowScrollBars, false);
//#endif

yep sorry about that I needed to have defines capitalized, can you try again.

[NoXPhasma]

Yes, now it works without any issue.

[gort818]

Awesome thanks for testing!

Is there any update on creating a deb installer for this? The instructions aren't working for a lot of people, incl myself on Linux Mint 19.1

[gort818]

I dont have a deb based system handy atm, but what errors are you getting?

I dont have a deb based system handy atm, but what errors are you getting?

I followed the instructions but they don't seem to work. I think I'm getting an error at make

i think you need

qtdeclarative5-dev

please try that

[gavsiu]

I already installed qt5-default and qtdeclarative5-dev, but I am also getting an error during make. I am trying to install qtwebflix on my wife's Ubuntu 20.10.

I have no idea what I am doing on Ubuntu as I've been using Arch for the last few years and there's also a convenient AUR package for this.
