Compiling Interface Software

To compile the interface software, you need Qt 4 installed. I'm using Qt 4.3.4 (comes with Ubuntu 8.04), but any later version should be fine too. Make sure you have the development packages/header files installed for Qt 4. On Ubuntu, this package is called libqt4-dev.

Once you have Qt installed, open a terminal and change into the Interface/ directory of the code. Run:

 qmake
 ...
 make

The qmake command processes the .pro files and creates Makefiles from them. You only need to run this command once (or after you've modified any .pro files).

The make command compiles the code. When you chance code, rerun make and it'll recompile the files you changed.

The resulting binary ends up in the Interface/GUI directory and is named GUI.
