Linux Build on Mint (Ubuntu) is NOT working.

I just built the project after forking, and when trying to run ./EzGraver.pro (as the only file I could see that looks like to run), as a normal user, and with elevated privileges, I get back bash: ./EzGraver.pro: Permission denied in both instances.

I've asked this before, is there an already built package available for various distros?

Upon changing the permissions of EzGraver.pro to be executed, I now get this with normal and elevated permissions:

./EzGraver.pro: line 1: TEMPLATE: command not found
./EzGraver.pro: line 3: CONFIG: command not found
./EzGraver.pro: line 5: SUBDIRS: command not found

I appreciate the availability and efforts of this project, but really, building and running the software needs to be much more simplified for those that a new to Linux, not everyone that uses Linux is good at doing these things, but still need/want to accomplish things like using external hardware without all the hassle, and this is why I've asked (2 times now) if there is a prepackaged binary, your able to do it for Mac and Win, why not Linux?

You are running the wrong thing.
After compilation you run make install which will copy the compiled core library to the shared libraries folder on your system.
Then you run ./EzGraverUi/EzGraverUi which is the actual binary file that has been generated.

Also, prebuilt binaries get complicated when it comes to Linux given all the possible different configurations. There isn't one 'Linux' OS to compile for unlike windows and OSX
