I am extremely interested in this package, but would need it to be able to handle XSD files. I saw something here: https://sourceforge.net/p/kxstitch/feature-requests/10/ from a number of years ago about it, but didn't see any resolution. Was this determined to be impossible?

I have attempted to integrate XSD file reading, but decoding the format has been difficult. Without a copy of the software, I am unable to produce the files needed to work out all the details.

Yea I'm having a tough time here trying to get this up and running. I've installed fink, brew, macports, etc and followed every bit of documentation I can find all with no luck. When I run the ./configure command from the root kxstitch folder I get the "configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found! Please check whether you installed KDE correctly." -> Running Mavericks...

checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

I don't know what do I have to install to run this script correctly. I use Mandriva 2010.1 with KDE4.4.3 with all packages installed on.

Me too.

I have only one small problem, does not compile on my gentoo :-(

Fails to find Magick++.h, but I have it on my system.

[19:02:38 [email protected] kxstitch-0.8.3]# locate Magick++.h
/usr/include/ImageMagick/Magick++.h

[19:06:43 [email protected] kxstitch-0.8.3]# eix -c -I Magick
[I] media-gfx/imagemagick ([email protected]): A collection of tools and libraries for many image formats

I have updated the code in CVS with some better checks for ImageMagick which has some changes to the namespaces for different versions. I have tried this on a couple of distributions and all works correctly.

Please feel free to check for yourself if you can. I will release an updated version in a couple of days if there are no adverse reports.

Regards

Steve

Thanks,
Just tested and the ImageMagick test passed and KXStitch compiled and run without problems.

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for IMAGEMAGICK... yes
checking if admin should be compiled... no
checking if doc should be compiled... yes

Hm, I'm not able to build kxstitch on amd64 :-(

So there is some collision with KDE4. I have KDE3 installed in /usr/kde/3.5 and KDE4 installed in /usr.

When I put --prefix=/usr/kde/3.5 kxstitch build fine. But when I use --prefix=/usr, it found KDE3 includes and libraries, but uses KDE4 includes and libraries as well and fails to build.

See configure.cache diff I've made.

There have been a few people reporting that the magick++ configure check has failed on their systems, Gentoo was one of those mentioned.

The work around using --with-extra-includes doesn't seem to work either.

At the moment I don't know what is causing this, but myself and others are investigating and hopefully a fix will be available soon.

Thanks,
It is good to know. If you need any help, just ask.

I have installed the gentoo.2008 live cd in vmare and emerged kde-meta. I have tried compiling kxstitch-0.8.3 and everything worked correctly. configure passed the imagemagick test properly and the compilation and installation was successful.

So no nearer a solution for those with a problem and being unable to replicate it doesn't really give me a chance to solve the issue.

KXStich is really great.

Any plans to develop embroidery software? Linux is sorely missing software for machine embroidery.

It would be great to have a Linux software equivalent of Thred digitizing software http://www.thredworks.com/dwnlod.htm

The source code is there, but I'm not sure what (if any) license it was released under.

Program exits when I try to import image files. I have tried with png, jpg, bmp, etc. All the same.

sallewell

Which version of KXStitch are you using? Which distribution? Have you installed from RPM (which one?)or from source? If from source, then there is the possibility that installation has been to /usr/local instead of the KDE base directory. This will exhibit the same behaviour of crashing. Does it also crash when you right click on the editor window? Again this is because it would be installed in the wrong place.

Another possible reason could be that ImageMagick isn't installed.

My girlfriend will love it! :)
She had to use windoze because of PC Stitch (or something like this). And now this app comes.

Thank you very much!

Don't do this, there is a binary incompatability between versions 5 and 6 of ImageMagick. Best to upgrade.
