QSoloCards / News: Recent posts

I added a zip file that contains QSoloCards.exe and the supporting libraries. Just extract the zip to your Program Files directory or anywhere you like and add a shortcut that points to QSoloCards.exe in the extracted folder and you are ready to go.

qmake ( A utility included with Qt to build makefiles from .pro files. ) is used to create the Makefile to build QSoloCards. You will need Qt 4.5 dev tools to build QSoloCards ( Ubuntu 9.04 and KUbuntu 9.04 both include this version of the dev tools. The name of the package is "qt4-dev".). After installing Qt 4.5 dev tools just run "qmake" (on KUbuntu and Ubuntu the Qt tools are added to the path. You may need to run it with fully qualified path in some cases.) in the extracted src code directory and then run "make". After the build is complete you will have an exec created in the directory QSoloCards on Linux or an app bundle QSoloCards.app on OS X. I have not tested the code on Windows. Since, I don't have access to a windows machine or build environment.
