Compiling latest LMMS on latest Ubuntu

[GisRev]

Hello there,

I've followed everything in https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling
but when I run (in the build directory): cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../target/

I get:

Hello there,

Hi, Welcome to the Forum GisRev !
Here are all important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
-A few rules and useful forum instructions

but when I run (in the build directory):

Building lmms is not simple. If you have the slightest flaw in any part of your distro, you will fail.
Often its the wine-build -version or parts, but it is so NOT worth the hazzle!

If you do not plan to do code-work, then there is NO sane reason to try and build -Its a d r a g -Believe me!
I strongly advice you to dl the lmms AppImage for Linux!
https://lmms.io/download/#linux
OBS!
Remember that is you want VSTsupport, you must install wine for your distro, before you install the AppImage!

I am on openSUSE and have tried to compile LMMS. ( sometimes with success, sometime getting errors of which even the LMMS devs had no idea on what was wrong)

I can only say musicbear is right.

There are programs easy to compile youre self, LMMS is not one of them,

I have talked with package builders, and they also confirm its hard.

So unless you have a good reason of why you need to compile it yourself, don't do it, use the appimage file.
