I've installed your musescore-git package via yaourt on my arch machine. A few sugestions:
1) After finish compiling, yaourt checks for conflicting packages and says "musescore-git and musescore are in conflict. Remove musescore? [y/N]". I would prefer if these two packages did not conflict, since it is useful to have both the latest stable and latest git coexisting in the system. I think this could be resolved by appending "-git" so the resulting binary is named "musescore-git". The instructions here https://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instructions-ubuntu-14.10-git#Build-an-executable-file lead me to think you can use: make SUFFIX="-git" LABEL="Git Build" sudo make SUFFIX="-git" LABEL="Git Build" install 2) When I go to help->about I see revision is 3543170 but the latest commit in musescore git master is not that number. I think you need to do "make revision" first in the arch build script before making musescore so that it gets that number in that about window. (I'm pretty sure I'm using this compiled version by looking at the date on the binary I'm executing) 3) I use distcc and ccache as my default compilers (I've set in my /etc/environment). (FYI: distcc allows me to utilize all computers in my home network when compiling, and ccache supposidly reuses results or previous compilations when source files are same to save time). Initially when trying to build your package via yaourt, I got an error "CMake Error...The C++ compiler /usr/bin/ccache is not able to compile a simple test program"...I've posted full yaourt build output here: http://pastebin.com/cz4Y36Kp but suffice to say after switching to plain CC=gcc and CXX=g++ for compiler variable names, then the build works fine. Now I haven't looked further into why it failed...it is possible that something is wrong with my computer setup, but normally I can build musescore just fine via makefile or in qtcreator with distcc and ccache. I might look into this more...can't say for sure it is the build script's fault. 4) I agree that should contain a warning about save file versions. I think should have a warning in the startup splash screen as well as have the build script print that warning. -- View this message in context: http://dev-list.musescore.org/musescore-git-tp7579555p7579564.html Sent from the MuseScore Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
