Q Light Controller+

This weekend I managed to build QLC+ from source on my Ubuntu machine. Very easy with the instructions and having installed everything needed before hand .

Windows 7 however...

I don't want to be too specific about my issues (path names, different versions of MinGW, Qt and MSYS all putting stuff in different places, 32 vs 64-bit versions etc etc), but I do actually get the make commands to run now which produce not so helpful output like 'Error 2' after a short while building.

Would it be possible to produce an updated idiot/instruction guide for the Windows builds? I don't know why

g++.exe: error: /LIBPATH:C:/Qt/Qt5.5.1/5.5/msvc2013_64/lib: Invalid argument

or

Makefile.Debug:81: recipe for target 'test.exe' failed.

If there is a clean, simple make method I can then properly break it by playing with the code (which I don't mind ).

Many thanks.

The Windows build instructions are updated, but they have to be followed very carefully.
If you use the wrong shell you can get weird compiler errors.

I hope you followed the Qt5 instructions though. Qt4 on Windows is no more supported

As for debug/release: use release mode ! I think I have never tried to build a debug version on Windows.

Thanks.

I have Qt 5.5 installed at the moment. Indeed, most of the tutorials and documentation for that are obsolete now as things keep changing slightly.

I'm always wary of the 32/64 bits differences too (this is a Thinkpad mobile workstation i5).

Will try very soon...

Qt5 comes from MSYS. Do not install the official Qt package. It's not binary compatible.

As written in the wiki is the one downloading Qt5 for you.
