Life saver. Have been using it on linux for over a year now.

I saw a number of comments complaining about a missing .dll file. I saw the same thing. But when I looked on my desktop, there was an icon. I double clicked the icon and the software works. Try this!

On Linux everything works fine.

Very powerful. Thanks ! Installs just fine under linux.

Not trying to run this project down, but there are a bunch of notes in various spots on the web testifying that this download for Windows (5_1) is missing a bunch of the .dll's from the Qt project. So one must download that project (1.26 GIGAbytes, by the way). And so a small, efficient code is turned to bloatware. Further, when one does this, one gets a "Missing MSCVP100D.dll" message, indicating (I believe) that the project was compiled using /debug instead of /release. I don't do much coding, and so don't have gcc installed. In andy case, the software, as released, is absolutely useless for most people. There may be folks that are a few developers that have a QT and debugger installed, but this misses most potential users. I can't give any positive marks to software that is released in an unusable form. I'm dying for someone to fix this. But I've already wasted an hour trying to get it to work, and I'm thinking that even if I could install the programming package that has mscvp100d.dll, I'd get another message stating "Can't run because your system does not have obscure_mysterious.dll". Or I'd get a message that I had the wrong gcc (or whatever compiler), or that I need a whole new raft of dlls and packages to run the compiler. And I'd have to spend an hour running that down. In general, I think software on sourceforge, if offered in compiled form, should be statically linked, or should have the needed .dlls or should only link to .dlls that are part of the o/s. Or at least should state "You need to download and install the following packages for this program to work". And two versions should ALWAYS be offered: The full, whiz-bang propeller head version, and the minimal bombproof exectuable. My view, anyway. Terribly disappointing - I'd really like to try this.
