Hello, just faced an error while compiling using build instructions:

Try adding #include <stdint.h> at the top of core.hpp and tell if that fixes it.

You're probably compiling that with Qt4 (I got the same errors when I tried). You need to use Qt5 (in my case, I had to replace qmake with qmake-qt5).

[cidious]

yeah, you're right, I'm using the QT4 and #include doesn't fixed the issue. Please add the check for proper QT version in configure script. Thank you.

Looks like you weren't following the build instructions close enough, since it tells to use Qt5. INSTALL.md
