Comment 1 for bug 1543836

Hi Ivan- Looks like nobody has been looking at this bug tracker for a while... sorry!
Would you be prepared to try the latest version?

You need git, build tools, the dependencies and the source code. So try the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential gdb pkg-config
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools libtar-dev libxml2-dev libvorbis-dev
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/linuxstopmotion/code lsm
cd lsm
git checkout release0.8.1beta10
qmake
make all
./stopmotion

Does this version work for you?
