Made with KShare itself, of course :)

Usage

See the wiki. Please note that KShare is not compatiable with Wayland due to some permission issues. Please use X.Org instead.

Dependencies

• Qt 5 Widgets
• Qt 5 GUI
• Qt 5 Network
• Qt 5 X11Extras | Winextras
• QHotkey
• libavformat
• libavcodec
• libavutil
• libswscale

Additionally, on Linux, you require:

Despite the name implying so, this project does not depend on the KDE API at all.

Install

Distro	Link
Arch Linux (development)	kshare-git
Ubuntu/Debian (development)	.deb
Arch Linux	kshare
Ubuntu/Debian	.deb

For other UNIX-like platforms, and MSYS2 (for Windows):

You have to obtain the dependencies though.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ArsenArsen/KShare.git
cd KShare
qmake # Might be qmake-qt5 on your system
make

On systems with FFMpeg pre-3.1 you need to apply OlderSystemFix.patch to src/recording/encoders/encoder.cpp. On systems with Qt pre-5.7 you need to install the Qt version from their website. You can attempt to curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArsenArsen/KShare/master/install.sh | bash

You can find more details here

There's a few ways to get support, you can:
