Windows builds

[heckflosse]

Currently there are no Windows builds available for Filmulator. Let's work together to build Filmulator on Windows and also to make build instructions which are easy to follow.

[gaaned92]

first question: should we use qmake or cmake?

[CarVac]

Use cmake. There's... a lot more documentation out there for it.

[gaaned92]

Branch highlightrecovery Using cmake in a mingw64 shell

...
[100%] Linking CXX executable filmulator.exe
[100%] Built target filmulator
MAKE INSTALL
[  2%] Automatic MOC for target filmulator
[  2%] Built target filmulator_autogen
[100%] Built target filmulator
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "release"
-- Installing: D:/PROGRAMMES/Filmulator/fminstall/bin/filmulator.exe
...

Then it finishes after

-- Installing: D:/PROGRAMMES/Filmulator/fminstall/share/Filmulator/qml/filmulator-gui/gui_components/ToolRadioButtonStyle.qml

[gaaned92]

Then copying these dependencies I can start the application. I didn' test. I will be back home in 3 days.

robocopy /MINGW64/bin "$destination"/bin $list

robocopy /MINGW64/share/qt5/plugins/platforms "$destination/platforms" qdirect2d.dll qminimal.dll qoffscreen.dll qwebgl.dll qwindows.dll

Sure, the list of dependencies has to be cleaned!

I cannot build other branches this way.

@Benitoite perhaps the platforms subdir is not located at the right place?

I managed to build and install filmulator on Windows 7. But, with my own build and also with @gaaned92 build the only thing I get when starting filmulator.exe is:

APPDIR: (null)
dbSetup old version: 10
QML UI file missing

Edit: I did a fresh install of msys2 to test the build process.

[heckflosse]

With latest code from highlightrecovery branch, I now get this when building on Windows:

Question to a QT5 and cmake guru.

When building a debug build, the debug versions of the QT5 dll are required (QT5Networkd.dll qt5cored.dll qt5guid.dll qt5qmld.dll qt5quickd.dll qt5sqld.dll qt5widgetsd.dll). Its about 1,5 GO! As we are not going to debug QT5 I suppose, how it is possible to link in a debug build the normal versions of the QT5 dlls (QT5Network.dll qt5core.dll qt5gui.dll qt5qml.dll qt5quick.dll qt5sql.dll qt5widgets.dll) ?

[Benitoite]

@gaaned92 Do a string(REPLACE d.dll .dll ${releaselibs} ${debuglibs}) on the appropriate output and input vars.

[CarVac]

The errors on startup are normal, unfortunately.

I tried Filmulator_highlightrecovery_v0.7.0-132-gee93410_debug_64 on my Windows laptop and it didn't work, saying

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: direct2d, minimal, offscreen, webgl, windows.

Additionally, I added some debug print statements to find out why the file has been rejected, so please build it again and tell me what the terminal outputs after you click on Import.

[gaaned92]

@CarVac I tried Filmulator_highlightrecovery_v0.7.0-132-gee93410_debug_64 on my Windows laptop and it didn't work, saying Either the /platforms QT subdir is wrongly located or for a debug build it should contain the debug versions of the dlls! I am surprised it works on my PC as QT is NOT in the windows PATH variable. So I suppose it is hardcoded. Going to google.

@Benitoite Thanks for the tip, but I fear I am not proficient enough to apply it :confused: Could you give me a more detailed procedure?

[CarVac]

@gaaned92 Could you try rebuilding with the latest version and trying to import a file again?

I'd like to see the terminal output you get after clicking Import.

[Benitoite]

@gaaned92 I get the no Qt platform plugin could be initialized error too on mac if the following is not set by the executable loader script: export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=../../plugins/platforms

Unfortunately I'm not setup ATM to experiment in win cmake. On mac, doing a debug build doesn't set, for example, Qt5::QtCore to point to QtCore_debug by the config, it points to the non-debug QtCore symlink.

Briefest primer on string(REPLACE old new output input)

Using Qt5::Core as an example, I can find out where it's pointing with:

get_target_property(xyz Qt5::Core LOCATION)
message(${xyz})

Let's say when printing xyz, cmake output /path/to/qt5cored.dll Then we can:

string(REPLACE d.dll .dll xyz ${xyz})
message(${xyz})

and get the output: /path/to/qt5core.dll

@Benitoite I begin to understand that making a bundled installation file for an application using QT is not straightforward and needs a knowledge of the QT development environment that I don't have.

So I am going to limit myself to build and test on the my machine without providing installer. In that case, the needed QT resources seem accessible thanks to hardcoded paths.

In the same time, I will try to understand how to deploy on windows, hoping that a proficient dev will set up the procedure.

[gaaned92]

I think I am not far from being able to generate a bundled deployment build. Could you try and test: https://keybase.pub/gaaned92/Filmulator/Filmulator_highlightrecovery_v0.7.0-144-ged927b7_release_64.zip

[Benitoite]

@gaaned92 and then exit on windows 8.1/64

[gaaned92]

To reproduce

• I downloaded the .zip
• I extracted in a new location D:\PROGRAMMES\Filmulator\Filmulator_highlightrecovery_v0.7.0-144-ged927b7_release_64
• I verify that MSYS2 is not in the path; I change the name of MSYS2 install dir!
• I run Filmulator. It Starts!!

Why it starts? The QML path is hardcoded somewhere with the absolute initial installation path: file:///D:/PROGRAMMES/Filmulator/fminstall/Filmulator_highlightrecovery_v0.7.0-144-ged927b7_release_64/share/Filmulator/qml/filmulator-gui and this installtion is still present.

In my bash script I do:

$pushd $INSTALLDIR/bin
$/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/windeployqt.exe --"$BUILD_TYPE" --qmldir ../share/Filmulator/qml/filmulator-gui filmulator.exe
$popd

So, I provide a relative path to filmulator.exe.

Help!

[CarVac]

If there is a good relative path between the executable and the QML that I can add, let me know.

I'll try this tonight.

[gaaned92]

@CarVac In my script a relative path to QML ( see above) :../share/Filmulator/qml/filmulator-gui, is provided to windeployqt.exe.

Can you code the above relative path?

[mermerico]

By the way, this is not a permanent solution, but for testing purposes, if the current directory is $INSTALL\share\Filmulator\, then I am able to run @gaaned92's executable.

[CarVac]

@gaaned92 Could you make a new build based on this? I've done a bunch of fixes to the QML that I was able to test, but I need it recompiled to test the C++ fixes.

I didn't make any changes to the qml directory location yet.

[gaaned92]

@mermerico Not very satisfactory :worried:

• Filmulator window

There is no error now, but nothing appears and I don't know how to continue.

• Hardcoded path I suppose the path is hardcoded and written in some file by windeployqt.exe. Can somebody help me? edit: The windeployqt.exe doc seems to say that the relative path should be encoded in QTcore.dll.?!

[Benitoite]

On the mac due to its bundle structure, I ran into some similar loading issues. What I did was use the following executable loader: https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/blob/d96063b5ba5b1a2dd8807f8c47566d1efd9e1100/filmulator-gui/resources/macos/filmulator-gui#L4-L10 and modifiedmain.cpp https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/blob/d96063b5ba5b1a2dd8807f8c47566d1efd9e1100/filmulator-gui/main.cpp#L105-L107 main.cpp contains the assignment of the installation prefix appdir from environmental APPDIR, which is rooted two directories above the executable binary on mac. ../.. https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/blob/d96063b5ba5b1a2dd8807f8c47566d1efd9e1100/filmulator-gui/main.cpp#L33-L35 Since your APPDIR is null, the log indicates you went thru https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/blob/d96063b5ba5b1a2dd8807f8c47566d1efd9e1100/filmulator-gui/main.cpp#L125-L130 but ultimately https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/blob/d96063b5ba5b1a2dd8807f8c47566d1efd9e1100/filmulator-gui/ConfigureChecks.cmake#L1 I found going the APPDIR route was more flexible in allowing a relative path.

[CarVac]

@gaaned92 Could you post the build?

It looks like everything worked but you needed to either have enabled Enqueue Imported Photos or afterwards you need to go to the Organize tab, find the photos, double-click them, and then double-click one of them in the queue to select it for editing in the Filmulate tab.

[gaaned92]

@CarVac last build systematically posted at https://keybase.pub/gaaned92/Filmulator

[CarVac]

Hmm, thumbnails are still broken, but if you double-click in the empty space where the first image should be enqueued it loads in the Filmulate tab.

I know what's wrong, but I need to figure out how to fix it...

[CarVac]

And... it should be fixed.

With this, everything seems to be working fine with one exception: the (invisible) resize handle on the splitviews is WAY TOO FAT, so I can't select the earliest (leftmost) days in the Date Histogram at the top of the Organize tab.

Not sure why it's so huge in Windows. @Benitoite is this a problem on Mac?

[CarVac]

I made a change so that it looks for the qml directory in the same place as where the executable is.

[Benitoite]

So, when I copy the share/Filmulator/qml dir to the bin dir it launches (no thumbnails) .

[Benitoite]

@CarVac resizers look normal sized to me on Win 8 and macOS 10.15

[CarVac]

There evidently haven't been any new builds yet, which is why thumbnails are still broken.

[gaaned92]

• I should prefer that on Windows, the thumbnails be all located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\filmulator thus on my machine: C:\Users\Andre\AppData\Local\filmulator

Edit2:

• In the organize tab, there are dates. What are they? ( Date taken...)

[CarVac]

I don't see anything in https://keybase.pub/gaaned92/Filmulator/

My thumbnails were going in AppData\Local (file:///C:/Users/carvac/AppData/Local/filmulator/thumbs/e464/e46436e05c0795810855fa5cdd2554750001.jpg for example). I'll have to figure out why yours were not.

Where are the files actually?

• sorry, I made a typo in my script. corrected

In hindsight, of course it didn't work.

I pushed two more changes; can you please rebuild it?

Thanks.

I see the problem now.

I was changing the thumbnail directory for everything, not just for the QML, so it ended up writing the thumbnail to the wrong location and reading from the right location.

It should be fixed in https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/commit/469f46f6a5c9e1b883fc525191608bbb8bfd08b6.

• Thumbnails are written in the right location.

-when importing files, the thumbnail don't appear directly in the film strip at the bottom of the window. I have to go in the organize tab. I don't know if it is normal.

• Is it possible to put the qml dir in the right location during the" make install"?

[CarVac]

If you have "Enqueue imported photos" turned on, then it will appear directly in the work queue at the bottom when you import.

It should be possible to put the qml directory in the right location. I'll have to do research and/or experimentation to figure out how to do that.

Would you be able to make a little writeup of your build process (how do you get the dependencies built/installed)? I'm very unfamiliar with building software on Windows.

@gaaned92

https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/commit/f6157498ed65d28701be145e78b0069dbbbed425 should put the QML directory in the right place, like you wanted.

@CarVac I am writing in markdown a little guide for building on Windows.

@heckflosse @Benitoite @mermerico @aferrero2707 and other windows users, could you test the build please?

[heckflosse]

@gaaned92 Your build works fine here \o/

[CarVac]

The build works fine for me as well.

The grab handle issue is really irksome, though; it makes it so at 1.0 UI scale, you can't reach the saturation slider, and there's only one row of pixels where you can access the export button between the splitview resize handles.

I'm going to have to reimplement SplitView for consistent behavior.

[CarVac]

Turns out the SplitView issue is triggered whenever the device is (correctly or incorrectly) detected to have a touchscreen: on these the SplitView drag handle is designed to be 7mm wide, which is absurdly too fat for a mouse-driven interface.

So I just took the SplitView code and removed that functionality.

@gaaned92 Maybe interesting for your builds: https://github.com/CarVac/librtprocess/issues/43
