Linux dependencies

You will need the following dependencies (Ubuntu, Debian):

sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ qt5-default qt5-qmake qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libsfml-dev

Compiling on Linux

1. Clone source and dependencies

    git clone https://...
    cd IMP
    git submodule init
    git submodule update
   

2. Change into the out-of-tree build subdirectory of the source tree:

    mkdir build; cd build
   

3. Create the makefile via qmake:

    qmake --qt=5 ../src/imp.pro
   

4. Build the binary:

    make
   

5. For the easiest install, just run make install to automatically set up the shared data and desktop launcher.

    sudo make install
   

   If you prefer to run from a user directory, you can copy the imp binary from the build directory, as well as the audio, themes, and dictionaries folders from the data directory to your preferred location.
