Looks like I didn't install Qt properly last few times. Trying arhag's instructions now, let you know if I get stuck, should be OK.
Installing and setting qt up manually is a pain in the butt.
sudo apt-get install qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev
works for me on 14.04
And its way easier.
Well followed those instructions perfectly. Get to last step to run BitSharesX and it can't find the file because it wasn't there. I had no errors up until that point, and I did install Qt manually, wish I had known about the other option. I think a proper guide is very much in order for this...
Edit: Oh wait the BitSharesX program was in cd ~/bitsharesx-build/programs/qt_wallet/bin
any reason why it is in bin? Should I move it or Ok to run from there?
