Compile Ultratools on Ubuntu 15.10 #6

Hello,

I would like to compile Ultratools on Ubuntu 15.10. I installed dependencies and fmodapi, like described in the Readme file. But now, I don't know how to start the compilation, there is no makefile. Thank you for your help.

LGDN.

Right, you have to generate the make file using qmake from qt.

qmake "UltraTools Editor.pro"

If qt4 is used instead of qt5 maybe adding the option -qt=qt5 will work

I forgot to mention it in the readme because I always use qt creator to build it.

Tell me if it works.

I confirm I can compile UE with qmake method or with QT Creator. But I think it is better to communicate the qmake way, because you can use checkinstall to make a deb paquet and install it cleanly. I'm using UE for a long time with wine, but it was very buggy. With this new native version I hope I could write karaoke songs easier and faster.

Perhaps you could add more details to the readme file, about Linux compilation, like this:

1) Download FMOD EX api here: http://www.fmod.org/download-previous-products/ and install it: tar xvf fmodapilinux.tar.gz sudo cp -r fmodapilinux/api/lib/* /usr/local/lib/. sudo mkdir /usr/local/include/fmod/ sudo cp -r fmodapilinux/api/inc/* /usr/local/include/fmod/. sudo ldconfig

2) Compile Ultratools Editor: go to the src folder

$ qmake "UltraTools Editor.pro" $ make $ sudo make install
