Ok, I think I see the problem now. In fact it's two problems. The first problem is that unarr isn't detected. The second problem is that the detection fails silently, i.e. the build system doesn't show you this failure.

The silent failure is already fixed in git, so as a first step to solve this you can simply get the source from git:

git clone https://github.com/yacreader/yacreader

If detection still fails using that snapshot we will take a closer look on how you installed the unarr library on your system.

Thank you. I cloned the repo on my machine and tried to build it but failed on make.
I think it is exactly the point where you saw the problem.

cd YACReader/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/buddy/GIT/yacreader/YACReader/YACReader.pro ) && make -f Makefile 
Project MESSAGE: Using system provided installation of poppler-qt5 found by pkg-config.
Project ERROR: Missing dependency: unarr decrompression backend. Please install libunarr on your system or provide a copy of the unarr source code in compressed_archive/unarr/unarr-master

Yes. You have two choices now - either build a package for libunarr so it's installed at build time or go for an embedded build. If you just want to test if you can compile the app at all an embedded build should be fine.

cd /home/buddy/GIT/yacreader/compressed_archive/unarr
mkdir unarr-master
git clone https://github.com/selmf/unarr unarr-master

or

cd /home/buddy/GIT/yacreader/compressed_archive/unarr
ln -s /path/to/unarr/source/directory unarr-master

Actually the qt modules YACReader needs aren't anything special. They should be standard in most if not all distributions, but the way they are packaged probably isn't. I'm pretty sure you're quite close to getting this working.

Afaik Solus has a packaging support forum. I'm pretty sure that the Solus community can help you with the remaining problems if you create a post there.

At switching I just get a white screen where the comics are supposed to be. QT version is 5.10

selmf Offline Developer Posts: 631 Thank you received: 135 Karma: 18	I think the package is called qt5-quickcontrols2 on Solus. If that doesn't do the trick, try installing qt5-graphicaleffects too. Other optional stuff you might want to install includes qt5-multimedia (adds support for extra image formats) and qrencode (adds support for qr images in YACReaderLibrary's server module).
