Re: how do I install this? [Solved]
« on: October 15, 2012, 06:58:52 AM »
It used to be I could install most tar balls with ./configure, make, make install
However, I guess things are passing me by because this has me puzzled...
http://ffdiaporama.tuxfamily.org/?page_id=178
When I open the source tar ball at the bottom of the page for version 1.4, I can't find any configure, make or any instructions on what to do with it.
Does anyone know how I can install this?
I know ffdiaporama is in the repos, but not the most current version.

Thanks to you both.  No I did not see that page, and did not realize I needed to use qmake.
