Here is how to compile 0.9.3 on Ubuntu 8.04
For those of you who try to compile 0.9.3 on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, here are the required steps :
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
Download the .tar.bz source from Sourceforge, uncompress, compile and install :
bunzip2 mscore-0.9.3.tar.bz2
tar cf mscore-0.9.3.tar
cd mscore-0.9.3
sudo make
[go drink a cofee until it's finished]
sudo make install
It looks simple but it took me quite some time and hair pulling until I got it correctly... So I hope this can be helpful to someone.
Cheers
Fred

Thank you for writing this up and sharing. If it's alright with you I added the instructions to the developers handbook. See [[nodetitle:Compile instructions (Ubuntu)]]
There's a minor error. The line:
tar cf mscore-0.9.3.taris used to create an archive and would generate an error since the source is missing.
The line should read:
tar xf mscore-0.9.3.tarThis will extract the archive.

Hi, you're absolutely right, sorry for my mistake. I did not find a way to correct the text. It looks like the first post of a thread cannot be edited, only the answers.
You also have to download g++ in order to run CMake :
- sudo apt-get install g++
In part of that, everything working correctly, thanks a lot.

Yes, I had to do that as well, since I did not already have g++ installed.

I updated the developer documentation to include g++
