Compiling

qmake INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
make install

Some useful special arguments for qmake command

Arguments	Usage	Default Value
INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr"	Specify the installation prefix directory	/usr
BOTAN_VER="1.10"	Specify the botan library version	1.10
DEFINES+="UBUNTU_UNITY"	Turn on appindicator support	NULL
DEFINES+="mingw64"	Use pre-compiled libraries from mingw64 instead of mingw32 (only for Windows)	NULL

Historically, application indicator was only used on Unity desktop environment. That's why the name UBUNTU_UNITY is picked for application indicator support. But it's no longer just a Ubuntu thing and should be considered distro-neutral. Therefore, for the sake of consistency, the name UBUNTU_UNITY remains unchanged.
