8 years ago The entire project is built within Qt Creator. Project dependencies are set up manually, true. I don't have a SUBDIRS project file, which I think would solve that.
As for QScintilla, that is included in the dependencies package which is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwhBNo66Kd6bQjN4SlNIUUpWNDQ/view?usp=sharing This package should be extracted into the cloned nesicide repository. The project files should already be set up to reference QScintilla and rtmidi from in there. I've only had to recompile QScintilla when I want to...not every time.
I have previously been able to get a Linux build working. But Linux is not my primary dev.
I agree there are some optimizations that would make the program better. But time is not on my side.
Bottom line, every dependency should be in that link. If not, let me know.

i try to package and setup a complete env for devel on gamin but this piece of software lack of any consistency standart
makefile invokes project profiles and dont let pass values, implements internal projects not directly mantained and there's no documentation, uses only qt5 (seems) libs that currently have many changes respect qt4 (more freeze) the most depends on qscintilla, a library that in every qt change, needs recompilation.. so the only way to have a nesticle suite its a static build, and that's are not documented!
i can help but event develop newer features, need stabilize and standarize the project, so that's why a ITP are in debian as archived bug request, but remian for many years for others distros if some of this points will not change.
after several changes, many that i cannot remenber i finally compiled a static build that only depends on libc6 and phtreats, that can run in any other linux, but in some way somethings freeze and hang!..
its nonsense hav a i7 8-cores to making 8bits games, so i proposed made ABLE this project available for olders hardware and able to build for olders UNIX environments as qt4 and debian squeeze, so people that have real interest in this king of software can use it in their focused hardware, and not in modern used for playstation2 hardware... start point can be documentation, and dependencys minification (dont depends on too changing external libs)
