Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. But in tree builds (it looks like that is what you tried) are very much discouraged. Please create a directory somewhere (e.g. in the YUView folder. The suggested name is build
) and execute qmake and the build in there:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..
make -j 16
The build
directory is already completely covered by the gitignore and the build will put all files (.o files, moc files and binaries) into that build folder.
In that case it would make sense to add this to the documentation. It does not mention the steps you listed.
You are right. The wiki page does not make this clear enough. I updated the page to make it really clear to do an out of tree build.
Thanks, that makes much more sense!
