Well it's at least available on that site as a tar file. Let's face it, we've all been there. Been desperately searching some elusive software, then found it in some obscure recess, shouted for joy then squirmed thinking 'oh but it's a tar file'. Then installed it and felt dirty.
Just remember to apologize to your package manager afterwards. It's considered polite to do so.
Not a source tar? [...] Yes, it is a source tar, you have to build it. Build fails here:
-- Detecting CXX compile features - done CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" (requested version 1.3.0) with any of the following names:
ECMConfig.cmake ecm-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "ECM" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
No idea what ECM is.
There is a button for "install" at the page, but I'm not testing it as I don't know what it does.
Under the Files tab lower down, clicking the question mark adjoining the Install button, it explains it thus:
What question mark? The word Install occurs three times on the page, only one being as a clickable button, and next to it is a down arrow, and clicking that reveals that clicking the Install will just download the .xz source archive.
Download Linux package from: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1136805/
That is some program called ocs-url. What does that have to do with anything?
Then click the downloaded package and continue to installation with package manager.
Or install the downloaded package using terminal:
...
openSUSE 42.1
# zypper install libQt5Svg5 libqt5-qtquickcontrols # rpm -i /path/to/ocs-url*.rpm
I clicked the Install button. I had to wait for a countdown to complete, then clicked Download. Nothing happened. If I click the other button to download the tar file, I get the same countdown followed by a prompt where to save the file. So it seems to be missing. Unfortunate. Inevitable.
There's an RPM for PCLinuxOS available here: https://pclinuxos.pkgs.org/rolling/pclinuxos-kde5/showimage-1.10-3pclos2022.... but not sure how much I'd trust an RPM for another distro. Probably best to go with the openSUSE community RPM: https://software.opensuse.org/package/showimage but annoyingly the 15.5 package is one version behind, whereas for 15.4 and Tumbleweed it's the latest. Expect the 15.4 one would work just as well.
