compiling on Ubuntu 8.10, simpler

[Uqbar]

Hello.

There's no need to download and compile QT in order to compile Structure Synth (SVN) in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

This was sufficient on my machine:

# aptitude install install build-essential libx11-dev mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev subversion libxext-dev libqt4-opengl-dev

then I pulled structuresynth from SVN, went into the trunk directory and:

$ qmake-qt4 -project -after "CONFIG+=opengl" -after "QT+=xml opengl script"

$ qmake-qt4

$ make

Maybe the "Build Instructions (Linux)" could be thusly updated.

Cheers,
Uqbar

Thanks,

Much easier :-)

I will add the build instructions when I get a chance!

Regards, Mikael.

Ouch, there's a typo: it's not "aptitude install install ..." but "aptitude install ...".

Sorry.

Cheers,
Uqbar

Duly noted.

Nice name, btw. (Found in an old Anglo-American Cyclopedia, I guess?).

Thanks for updating.

Yes, I found the name Uqbar in one copy of The Anglo-American Cyclopaedia but, oddly, I can't find it in other copies...
