Compiling on Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64

(sorry for posting here, but there seems to be no support forum)

Trying to build on Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 using Qt 4.8.3 and got this.

cd hid/ && make -f Makefile 
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/daniel/tmp/qlcplus-code/plugins/hid'

And while I'm at it; how do you work on the software? Are you using Qt Creator? Or any other IDE?

I'm an old C non-GUI programmer, but Qt and IDE's are pretty new to me (used to Emacs mostly). Would really like to get into the QLC+ software and contribute. :)

I develop with QT Creator and compile from a shell on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and Ubuntu 10.04 32bit.

It seems you're missing some -dev package.
Have you tried
sudo apt-get install g++ make libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools libasound2-dev libusb-dev debhelper devscripts fakeroot libftdi-dev pkg-config libudev-dev

It was two missing #include <unistd.h>, found help in this thread:

Attaching a patch to fix it. Why don't you have this issue? Weird.

[Massimo Callegari]

I guess 12.04 and 12.10 use different gcc versions so everything might be possible.
Have the build gone fine after that ?
By the way, thanks for the patch

[Daniel Nyström]

Yes, it now compile flawlessly. :)
