Linux compiling instructions.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there. Would be great to have a README about how to compile the utility 
under Linux, with library requirements and stuff.

Thanks.

Temporary instructions:

Get qt4 installed from your distro (if applicable), and qt-x11 (if also 
applicable, some distros bundle these two).  After those are installed, with 
mercurial (install if needed), clone with `hg clone 
http://dwarftherapist.googlecode.com/hg/ dwarftherapist`.  Note that the https 
protocol may not work, so I have defaulted to the http protocol.  After 
cloning, go to the root source directory of dwarftherapist and type `qmake`.  
This should make a Makefile.  Then build with whatever options you usually 
build with.  To speed up the build, you might want to parallelize the build 
with `make -j4`.  After that, the binaries are in ".../bin" of the source 
directory.

You can also use qt-creator, and open up `dwarftherapist.pro`, then build it 
that way.  This, however, installs an entire IDE you may never use, but may be 
easier.

Quick and dirty instructions.  Might want to be cleaned up.

Addendum: Create the directory `log` in the `.../bin/release` directory, and 
`touch ...bin/release/log/run.log` to fix the logging issue.  You might have 
some troubles with custom names, so edit out the gridviews section in 
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/UDP\ Software/Dwarfe\ Therapist.ini`

XDG_CONFIG_HOME is usually `~/.config`.

After all that, it should be good to go, if the DF version is fine and dandy.
