Contribute
To contribute, simply fork, clone, patch and send pull request. I have built it using Qt Creator. The source code is written in C++ and Qt5. So either use Qt Creator to build the project or follow the instructions given below.
Use the following commands to build. Make sure you have g++, gcc and Qt5 libraries.
cd ./src
qmake
make -f Makefile
This will build the application if you have all the build dependencies. Come outside the src folder, you will see build & bin folders. In the bin folder, there is an executable file for the main application.
For those building on windows
Get the latest Qt Creator. Download source. Go to src directory and open src.pro file in Qt Creator. Configure and run the project. It will build and run automatically.
