I'm glad you were able to get ddcui to build and run. Quite impressed actually. As the description says, ddcui is "under construction, not yet for public use", which is why there are no instructions. It's very much pre-alpha code, on Github so I can use the Coverity Scan static analysis tool that's free to open source projects.
That said, I'd be happy to hear of any issues you encounter. They are abundant.

I have tried to build from the sources with Qt Creator 3.01 on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.
It would be great to add basic "how to build" instructions to the readme file, esp. the dev and build environment you are using.

What I did so far to compile the code (more or less successfully) with

- Qt version 5.2.1
- and QtCreator 3.01

Edited the |CMakeLists.txt| file * Relaxed the required cmake version in first line: |cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)| * Added a line to get rid of the "nullptr not declared in scope" error: |set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")|2.
Started Qt Creator and opened the |CMakeList.txt| as new project via Ctrl + O3.
In the "Edit" view: * right click on the project root folder ("ddcui [master]") * select "Run CMake"4.
Fixed all compile errors due to the older Qt version 5.2.1 of Ubuntu 14.04, mainly the error: 'asprintf' is not a member of 'QString' by using |arg| instead, e. g. |setObjectName(QString::asprintf("FeatureWidget-0x%02x", _feature_code));| becomes |setObjectName(QString("FeatureWidget-0x%02x").arg(_feature_code));|5.
