Build for Linux

Build for Linux

Prerequisites

• Qt ≥ 5.3 including the modules "concurrent", "network", "test" and "xml"
• C++ compiler that supports C++11, e.g. GCC C++ ≥ 4.6

If you get an compile error like error: ‘class QPlainTextEdit’ has no member named ‘setPlaceholderText’ you're probably using an outdated Qt version.

Ensuring pristine builds

In some cases qmake or qmake-qt5 don't rebuild the Makefiles correctly after updating the repo with git pull. This may lead to compiler, linker and runtime errors. To prevent these please execute

make clean
find . -type f -name Makefile -exec rm {} \;

before proceeding with qmake or qmake-qt5 (see below).

Debian 9

1. To install missing packages:

2. To clone the repository (beforehand cd to a directory of your choice to store the cloned repository):

git clone git://github.com/ola-ct/Qt-SESAM.git

3. To enter project directory:

cd Qt-SESAM

4. To update the language files (currently only for German)

lrelease Qt-SESAM/Qt-SESAM.pro

5. To build
