How-to: Compile MuseScore 2 on Ubuntu 14.10
Hi,
I added a page about compiling MuseScore 2 on Ubuntu 14.10. See here:
[[nodetitle:Compile instructions (Ubuntu 14.10) - Git]]
Thanks.

In some Ubuntu flavours you may find you also have to install some Qt dependencies......
Ubuntu Studio 14.04 is one of them.

I think all packages about Qt needed to run MuseScore are installed with this command on the tutorial (tested on Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu):
Each package has its own dependencies, so more packages are installed.

on Mint17 I compile daily but the following (above listed) dependencies are not installed
qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qtquick1-5-dev qtscript5-dev libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5webkit5-dev
however there is a qt5 in my home, within which these files don't show.
In reply to hum.... by robert leleu
It's normal that these files don't appear in your Qt 5 local installation, because they are just packages that will install files. For example, the package
libqt5xmlpatterns5-devwill install about 30-40 files like/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtXmlPatterns/QAbstractMessageHandler. The packageqttools5-dev-toolswill install files like/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease.On Ubuntu 14.10, it's no longer necessary to download Qt from the official website and change the value of the variable
$PATH, because it's in the repositories.In reply to It's normal that these files by jpfle
On Ubuntu Studio 14.04, there were Qt libraries missing when I tried the first compile.
I had to install lib-dev-mesa something or other.

I've just tested the tutorial on Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu MATE 14.10, Ubuntu Studio 14.10, Kubuntu 14.10 and Xubuntu 14.10, and it works fine.
Qt 5.3 is now on the default repositories of 14.10, used by all flavors of Ubuntu:
The difference between the flavors are in the set of packages installed. However, all flavors of Ubuntu use the same repository for downloading updates, so the same set of packages is available regardless of which flavor you have installed.

Ummm - Ubuntu Studio 14.10 has not yet been released.
So how did you test it?

I had to deal with a couple of missing dependencies, but no other problems. Thank you.
@jpfleury Thank you so much for your writing. I modified it a bit to not mention 2.0 but just the development version. I also removed the sentence when you prompted the user to delete the source code after compilation since I hope she will never do that but instead pull and recompile often or even better read the Git Workflow page and start contributing.
Thanks again.
