installation instructions insufficient

Currently the only way to install OS2CX is to compile it from source. Sorry!
You'd have to do something like:
- Download the source code
- Install the dependencies listed in the README
- Install either Qt Creator (graphical IDE) or QMake (command-line tool)
- Compile the project using Qt Creator or QMake
I've been meaning to make an AppImage but I haven't found the time... :(
Sorry I was editing the first post and my laptop died. I meant to say the qt package isn't listed, and there's like a hundred in apt. I got as far as installing qmake, but that's insufficient
Ah, I see. Does sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev work?
I set up a prebuilt AppImage you can download: https://github.com/timmaxw/os2cx/releases/tag/latest
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev
that gets rid of the error message (Could not find qmake spec 'linux-g++'.) and now I see a Makefile!
Previously I installed this package qt5-qmake-bin... not sure now if the qtbase5-dev comes with qmake, but I'll assume not at this point.
tests now pass! thanks!
