Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2019-03-08 18:26:05 UTC

I must port the digiKAm AppImage script to LinuXdeployQt from AppImage SDK :

https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt

I will do it while this week end...

Comment 2 MarcP 2019-03-09 18:05:41 UTC

I can confirm this bug. I tried the last appimage available (digikam-6.1.0-git-20190307T101229-x86-64.appimage) and got the exact same error on Ubuntu 18.04.

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2019-03-09 18:18:05 UTC

Please wait, AppImage bundles are under construction from scratch...

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2019-03-16 14:32:40 UTC

Hi,

I progress slowly, but my work advance to propose a refactored appimage up to date.

Still tuned...

Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2019-03-20 13:43:03 UTC

PhilV,

After 3 weeks of work, i finally completed the compilation of AppImage using Qt 5.11.3 + QWebkit 5.212.

New 6.1.0 pre-release AppImage bundle can be found here (64 bits only for the
moment) :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please check if the problem remain.

Comment 6 MarcP 2019-03-20 20:18:32 UTC

I tried the last appimage (digikam-6.1.0-git-20190320T143140-x86-64) and it seems to work properly now. Thanks.

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2019-03-29 10:11:50 UTC

Hum, this problem is not yet fixed.

And now i found the problem. Typically, in the bundle, i compiled a new version of Freetype and fontconfig libraries and ask to Qt to use it.

This is fine, but at end when i bundle all files, the linker used to parse use to Centos 6 fontconfig and freetype to resolve deps while packaging.

To resume, there is a mix of older and newer libraries in the bundle.

Solution => I will remove fontconfig and freetype at bundle compilation and only use Centos6 based libraries. I will not bundle these fontconfig/freetype to the bundle and at runtime i will delegate the host system libraries.

Compilation from scratch is under progress...

Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2019-03-29 21:47:54 UTC

Definitively fixed with digikam-6.1.0-git-20190329T223601-x86-64.appimage
