[chessx-developer] build fails for latest ChessX version on Ubuntu 24.04.1

[Steffen R. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

I wonder if this is the correct mailing address to ask such questions?

I cloned the master branch from https://github.com/Isarhamster/chessx.git

the INSTALL.md says run
    qmake
and then
    make

qmake doesn't do anything on my machine. Perhaps there are some parameters
needed to create makefiles?
It's also said that one needs QT5, but it's not clear to me which part I
need to install to make it compile.

I was running the official chessx package from Ubuntu, but that's version
1.4.x and had issues with the window management. Hence my motivation to get
a newer version on my machine.
The link to "all binaries" also links only to the windows installer.
The status of the project is confusing in a way because it's not clear to
the uninitiated like me, whether Sourceforce or Github should be the
authoritative source.
there's no active bugtracker on Github for the project and no wiki
configured. But some of that seems to exist on Sourceforge.

May I ask for some advice?
