I think that if it builds/installs cleanly on Debian + BSD, it'll build and
install on pretty much any Linux.

(there's even a Linux VM on Chromebooks.  ;-))

Bleh, apparently I was working from the original eticre version.
It still has a several KDEisms in it.
I found yours at https://github.com/tribad/povmodeler
and I'm going to punt my copy and start over from yours.

If you try that it will be best if I would give you starting point. As I merged
may way of a new UI into the master you will have only limited luck on building
something that will fit anyones need ;)

Will give a ping here, for all who think it is worth it.

I created a branch on my fork named 'original'.
https://github.com/tribad/povmodeler/tree/original
That contains a runnable, at least for me, version of my base. There are some
changes already made to the source. But let us see how it work out.

First thing is the building of the povmodeler. So I changed the CMakeLists.txt

Please check. Ping!

I checked it on a debian-10 VM. Building is no problem if all standard packages
that are needed to build anything are available. But its crashing. Found the
point, but will fix it tomorrow.

On https://github.com/tribad/povmodeler/tree/original I have a version ready
that may do it on a debian installation.

I did checkout this branch on my debian-10 VM did a

make install

and afterwards find a povmodeler desktop icon in the gnome3 activities overview.
A click on the Icon starts the povmodeler.

Please check it.

I did create a debian-10 package.
Could be downloaded here https://simulated-universe.de/povmodeler-0.1-Linux.deb

This is my first try ever to create a debian package. It will evolve over time.

RPM is coming next.

I opened it in Mint's Package Installer, and got:
"Error: dependency is not satisfiable: libglx0"

I tried sudo apt-get install libglx0 (and libglx and libgl) but it couldn't find
any such package to install.   So I'm not sure what I need to install or where
to install it from...

then I tried this:

sudo dpkg -i povmodeler-0.1-Linux.deb
[sudo] password for oem:
Selecting previously unselected package povmodeler.
(Reading database ... 288574 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack povmodeler-0.1-Linux.deb ...
Unpacking povmodeler (0.1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of povmodeler:
 povmodeler depends on libglx0; however:
  Package libglx0 is not installed.
 povmodeler depends on libopengl0; however:
  Package libopengl0 is not installed.
 povmodeler depends on libqt5core5a (>= 5.11.0~rc1); however:
  Version of libqt5core5a:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.6.
 povmodeler depends on libqt5gui5 (>= 5.7.0); however:
  Version of libqt5gui5:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.6.
 povmodeler depends on libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.11.0~rc1); however:
  Version of libqt5widgets5:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.6.

I'll work on it for a little while, but I'm trying this at the end of the day...
:O
