when running this command cmake -DUSEWX=yes -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

I am getting this error:

In recent distributives: use libpcre3-dev and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev instead of libpcre2-dev and libwxgtk3.0-dev

Thank you very much, it built (it seems so). The last command which I ran was this: make -j$(nproc --all)

What is next? How to install it and how to run? should there be something else run after building to make so that the app is installed and available?

It would be good if you could point this to those who are not so proficient in C/C++ app build/intall process. I am Far user since 1998 and I'd really love to use it on Ubuntu, but still can't.

To install after successfully built: sudo make install Regarding 'buildless' install - there're .deb packages for ubuntu and so on, but i'm really not in charge of that all. I know @unxed made some...
