qt folder missing in project root #14

Closed Trindaz closed 11 years ago

Trindaz commented 11 years ago

I installed Chimera using npm install but it didn't create a qt folder in the chimera/ project root folder. This means the manual compile instructions fail (no folder qt to cd in to).

Download this tarball for qt 4.8.4: http://releases.qt-project.org/qt4/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz

Extract it to /chimera/qt

Then you should have the required files for running /scripts/compile_qt.sh

npm install will not copy everything from this github repo, otherwise the install would be way too big! You can see what directories are ignored from the .npmignore file. I don't expect people to compile openssl & qt.
