I've been trying to install Smillaenlarger (a photo enlarging app that eliminates aliasing; making nearly perfect enlargements) on Ubuntu 20.04. I had it on a previous install of the same OS but can't remember how I got it to work. I've tried compiling from source, and get no errors, but it won't start. I tried a Debian .deb file (had to add a few libraries according to the site) but it still won't install (and one of the needed dependencies required removing another app that I wanted to keep so I reversed what I had done). I'm thinking (desperate now) of installing the Windows version under WINE, but I'd prefer not to do that if there's another way. I don't think I ran it under WINE before, at least as I remember. If anyone has it working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks.

It is indicated that
apt install -y git g++ build-essential qt5-qmake qt5-default
... will install what you need w.r.t software.
To compile the sources:
Compilation: run qmake && make in the main directory.
If no errors appear, it usually means there will be an executable file somewhere among the sources. Exactly where "depends" (on many factors), and in case of errors; you need to understand each problem to be able to correct them...
On success, Often: make install will make the software available for "normal" use.
As I have NOT checked / tried this - I might be wrong this time.
Happy hacking.
