Cross Compile LMMS/Visual Studio Code build?

[Pmerry96]

Hello All,
I am working on a contribution to the LMMS code base and I would like to figure out how to build from source (in either ubuntu or preferably Visual Studio) so that I can test what I have written.

I have followed the build instructions found here: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling

when I reach the stage of installing qt5, using the
$ sudo apt install qtbase5-dev
command, I am told I have unmet dependencies, and the package 'libqt5opengl5-dev' is reccomended.
Issuing and apt install on this package shows a recursive dependency then to qtbase5-dev

Is this a normal occurance? Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thank you for reading

Is it normal? No, dpkg is far and away the best package manager around and is one of the things that I love about Debian, which Ubuntu derives its code base from. That package is a recommend though, not a dependency, so maybe try qtbase again with the

Code: Select all

--no-install-recommends

flag.
Alternately, have you tried aptitude in interactive mode?
Can you show us your sources.list?

To make a long story short
I had issues
I wrote my own

Perhaps you can still use it

The worst part is that i never got to make a code-page, only explain the various parts, but this is the code
