Description Elvis Angelaccio 2015-09-04 15:04:00 UTC

I just compiled and installed KScreenGenie from sources, but KSG cannot take screenshots at all. Running KSG from terminal prints in output "QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap" (twice). The same line is printed whenever I try to take another screenshot.

Probably I'm missing some required library, but why CMake did not stop me? My CMake output here: https://paste.kde.org/pwlnu4cqf

Reproducible: Always

Is this from git or the 2.0.0 release? We've had guards for the build to fail if XCB is not found for a long time.

XCB is an optional dep, because later we should be able to build Wayland-only versions of KSG

I compiled from git, but the same happens with the released tarball.

In the root CMakeLists.txt I do see a FATAL_ERROR message if XCB is not found, but I don't see it in my actual cmake output. Yet, I cannot take screenshots, so I guess something must be wrong in the cmake bits.

I think we can now close this.
