Quick rundown of what it is. This is a cross-platform network drawing program. And pretty much the only reasonably good one I can find that supports Linux (my OS of choice) and Windows (everyone else's, including my Mabi husband). Their site is here drawpile.sourceforge.net/ It's sort of abandoned but it works nicely, nonetheless. My only real complaint is that layers are disabled in network mode. They fixed this yay~
To install on Ubuntu you can add the getdeb repo as stated, but you'll probably need to add this one for the QT stuff, too: www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubun…
Alright, with a little effort I've compiled the latest version of Drawpile for Windows. You can find it here: www.mediafire.com/download.php…
I compiled for Linux as well but that's less of a butt and considering the variance in Linux it's more difficult to share. However there were some troubles in it so let me briefly explain what I did, to the best of my recollection.
1) Make sure you have git, cmake, qt4, and zlib installed. 2) Clone the git repo: git clone https://github.com/callaa/Drawpile.git 3) cd Drawpile 4) mkdir build 5) cd build 6) cmake .. 7) nano src/client/CMakeFiles/drawpile.dir/link.txt 8) Add -lz between -lQtCore and -Wl 9) Save (Ctrl+O) and quit (Ctrl+X) 10) make 11a) sudo make install or 11b) su root && make install 12) For me, it installed drawpilenet.so to the wrong place so I did: ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdrawpilenet.so /usr/lib64 - Good idea? Probably not..
AS A SPECIAL BONUS here's the .desktop file I made for it. Save it to ~/.local/share/applications/drawpile.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Name=Drawpile GenericName=Collaborative drawing program Comment=Draw pictures with others over the network Exec=drawpile Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Graphics;2DGraphics;RasterGraphics;
I haven't really been doing art but I think I'm mainly just going to stick to tumblr now http://sweet-sheepy-faces.tumblr.com/
At least in terms of what would ever be journal entries here. I might still archive art here if I ever draw any again. :V
I should draw more, but I always hate the results, so I never do.
I think that maybe I should draw even worse, hate them more, and try to destroy this emotion.
Sounds like a stellar plan.
