About The Project

SQt5 Preview

This is starlight; a supposed-to-be revival of MPQt5 and is also my starting point on Qt5/C++ programming.

Alongside my small projects, this is probably the most promising one out of all of them. While being terrible at first, I'll try to improve it over time :)

But why? We already have better music players; like rhythmbox, or audacious, or juk???

Here's why:

  • Boredom.

Getting Started

Since I did not have setup the workflow for this repository for an automated build, you'll have to build the package yourself for now.

Prerequisites

Get dependencies

  • GCC, Make, and Git 
    sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gdb cmake make build-essential git
  • Qt5 (including dependencies for multimedia5) 
    sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5 qtwebengine5-dev

On source version 0.2 or newer, the project is being rebased to the Vvave project

  • QT: websockets, KConfigCore, KNotifications, KI18n, webenginewidgets (extra: taglib) 
    sudo apt-get install libkf5i18n-dev libqt5webenginewidgets5 libkf5notifications-dev libkf5config-dev libqt5websockets5-dev libtagc0-dev

Installation

  1. Clone the repository 
    git clone https://github.com/revoscode/dynastix
  2. Change to source directory 
    cd dynastix/src
  3. Generate makefile and build the binary 
    qmake;make
  4. Test run if it works: 
    ./QtMusicPlayer

Usage

No additional arguments are needed when running from the Terminal, but I'll add some. Someday.
