[SOLVED] OpenOrienteering - Qt plugin xcb issue
Posted: Thu 09 Mar 2017, 22:35
G'day,
To those few of you who recognise my avatar as being orienteering-related (g'day zigbert)...
I read in the latest Australian orienteering magazine that there's an alternative to the Windows-based Ocad for drawing orienteering maps, Open Orienteering, which is open-source and cross-platform.
The website is http://www.openorienteering.org/
So I thought I'd give it a try in Puppy. Not surprisingly, it doesn't list Puppy in the download versions, but does have packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
I downloaded the .deb package and installed it in a Full Xenialpup-7.0.1 but found many missing .libs. So then I downloaded these missing libs one-by-one until I stopped getting missing .lib messages.
My downloaded and installed files list is shown in the screenshot.
However, OpenOrienteering now stalled with the error message in the other screenshot. I don't know what this means, or what to do next. I think I tried a re-install but don't know for sure if what I did fell into the 're-install' category .
If someone who knows what they're doing could make a .pet or .sfs of OpenOrienteering that would be excellent , or could advise me of how to fix my last error, that would be OK too .
Meanwhile, it's back to old Ocad and wine for me , for the present.
Thanks for your time,
David S.
