Building - Ubuntu 13.04.

[Matthew Marks]

I needed to install a couple of packages which aren't in the README: libudev-dev and libfftw3-dev.

It then failed to link many of the test executables because they wanted -lfftw3. I tried putting this as a LIBS += in test.pro but it didn't want to inherit it.

I then tried QT Creator because I think you said that's what you use to develop with, Massimo. This seemed to make it build - goodness knows how - but the resulting executable needed LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting because it couldn't find the engine and ui libraries. I realise on my 12.04 machine it must have been using the installed ones all along - I was only looking at plugins.

Also, I think it always looks in /usr/lib/qt4/plugins for its plugins, which is a pain because they are all in separate directories before installation so you can't just symlink to it. Easiest thing was to install - can QT Creator do this?

(I've still got the ola plugin commented out in plugins.pro as I couldn't solve its dependency problems on 12.04.)

Any tips to sort out this awkward build process would be appreciated, thanks!

The README file is not updated. Sorry.
I gave the fact that users follow the "QLC+ Build HOWTO" link from the QLC+ webiste and reach this Wiki page:
https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/wiki/Linux-Build-HOWTO

I compile every day on Ubuntu 13.04 (from a terminal, not Qt Creator) and no problems at all.
When you install libfftw3-dev it drags in also the FFTW library but if you started to compile QLC+ before, it is possible that you need to make distclean and qmake/make again.
As for OLA, I usually compile it from sources. Never used their deb files.
