DEVELOPERS AT WORK

If you're compiling QLC from sources and you regularly do "svn update" (or something similar) to get the latest sources, you probably end up seeing some compiler warnings and errors from time to time. Since the whole source package is under development, you might even encounter unresolved symbols etc. that halt the compiler immediately. If such a thing occurs, you should do a "make distclean" in trunk (top-most source directory) and then "qmake" and "make" again. We attempt to keep the SVN head free of fatal errors and it should compile all the time. However, some inter-object dependencies do get mixed up sometimes and you need to compile the whole package instead of just the latest changes. Sometimes even that doesn't work, because QLC installs its common libraries to system directories, where (at least unixes) fetch them instead of the source directory. In those cases, you might try going to the libs directory, compile it with "make" and install with "make install" and then attempt to re-compile the whole package with "make".
