i`d like to compile smillaenlarger
this is the text below ,that came with the program
if somebody could make it so i could cut and paste the commands
that i could do
i have smillaenlarger in a folder on my desktop




{To compile SmillaEnlarger, make sure that the Qt library and its developer tools are installed.

Within the SmillaEnlargerSrc directory first create the Makefile with qmake , then build the enlarger with make:

cd SmillaEnlargerSrc

qmake ImageEnlarger.pro

make}

I think it is qt4-dev-tools, instead of qt-dev

Sounds plausible, it's been too long since I used kubuntu

i am typing this for my own records
i had to retype the code from the last poster
anymore help would be nice

cd ~/Desktop/SmillaEnlarger
typed qmake
and this is what it said
The program 'qmake' can be found in the following packages:
* qt3-dev-tools
* qt4-qmake
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
so i did and installed the 2 above
then i typed qmake in terminal and this is what i got
WARNING: Failure to find: EnlargeParam.h

If you are using ubuntu 9.04 there is a deb -

Always better to install deb than compile.
Meanwhile I'll look into why its not compiling on 9.10.
