qt-map-py

A simple widget written in QML in python that lets you ask for a psecific point on a map from commandline (cli), like zenity does. It displays a map, and double clicking on the map causes the window to close and the coordinates to be printed on stdout;

Usage

Build the app:

make build

Run it:

./dist/qt-map-py/qt-map-py # start centered in Poznań
./dist/qt-map-py/qt-map-py 33.66195 -95.55362 # start centered at given lat / lon
./dist/qt-map-py/qt-map-py 33.66195 -95.55362 --die # start centered at given lat / lon and close the window once the location is selected (otherwise each location is printed in a new line to stdout)

Troubleshooting

If the app doesn't start, it might mean it's been compiled using different glibc version. Try rebuilding the app.

If the app cannot be rebuilt, and you get this error during build:

You may have to rebuild pyinstaller. Go to Add/Remove Software, find pyinstaller, click on it and choose "build".
