Hey Kyle, The last update I recall seeing from Fred G. is that the master branch is known to compile, but all bets are off in actually getting it running.
Unless you *need* QT4 or some other feature of the master branch, I'd recommend checking out the "stable" branch (which more or less represents the 2.15.1 release). ~David On 11/16/2016 07:53 AM, Kyle Robbertze wrote: > Hi > > On 16/11/2016 15:30, Wayne Merricks wrote: >> OK that kind of makes sense.
