CopperSpice Forum

We have built CopperSpice on multiple Unix-like platforms including Debian, Arch, Fedora, and FreeBSD. We'd like to know what is going on in your specific setup. Can you send us an email at <info@copperspice.com> and include the following files? The output displayed when running CMake in a fresh, em...

You are correct that the C++17 standard does not allow the register keyword. GCC only reports this as a warning while clang reports it as an error. The workaround for this is to build with the -Wno-register flag which disables this error in clang. We considered enabling this automatically in our CMa...

We'd just like to confirm that this entire issue was not related to CopperSpice so there is nothing we need to look at with freetype.

Failed to create xcb gl-integration

Thank you for reporting this. We are changing that message to indicate the gl-integration plugin is only needed when running a program which uses OpenGL.

Turns out we forgot to release the build files for the gl-integration plugins, which we will do shortly.

New things can be added, but nothing that would break an existing build. This point was mentioned in another thread on the Developers forum under API Stability. We have added a detailed reply in that thread. Sweeping changes need to be well thought out and implemented with a purpose. But sometimes ...

The code I write and put into production in 2020 will compile against the current version in 2051. No classes or methods will have disappeared and the header files will have the same names in the same places. Lots of things can be added, but nothing ever taken away. The high level API will remain c...

I was hoping they completely removed QML and JavaScript as that was one of the worst decisions Qt ever made. I'd like to clarify and expand on the answer we gave. Qt Quick and QML have not been brought into CopperSpice and we have no intention of porting them to CopperSpice verbatim. The truth is, ...

The team is working on a more detailed response for all of your dependency questions.

Btw, who set the ludicrous "images can only be 1 pixels high" rule on here? Screenshots really help all things. Sorry about that, we have had some issues of people posting way too many images. Screenshots add too much noise to the discussion thread in our experience. Posting links to an i...

7. In CMakeLists.txt I add this rows This is not the ideal way to adjust your build environment since these changes will be lost if you move to a new version of CopperSpice. Here is a link to our overview documentation for the Windows build process: https://www.copperspice.com/docs/cs_overview/requ...
