Keep in mind that this is an experimental branch.

• Qt 5.3.1
• libqt5webkit5-dev
• libmagic-dev

You can build Notepadqq from command line:

notepadqq/src/ui$ qmake PREFIX=/opt/notepadqq DEPLOY=false notepadqq.pro -r -spec linux-g++
notepadqq/src/ui$ make

Make sure you're using qmake from Qt 5.3.1 (qmake -v). If not, you might need to specify its full path.

DEPLOY=false will hard-link notepadqq to your local Qt libraries. If you want to deploy notepadqq to different machines (e.g. if you're building a Linux package), you need to run qmake with DEPLOY=true and then copy the needed Qt libraries within the same folder as the notepadqq binary file (find them with ldd notepadqq|grep libQt.

You can run notepadqq from its build output folder. If however you want to install it, first build it by following the above steps, then run

notepadqq/src/ui$ sudo make install

To build a Debian package:

notepadqq$ dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
