Cannot build miniAudicle on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish"

[znmeb]

It looks like some of the Qt6 libraries used in the miniAudicle build aren't available in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The attached log shows the error message.

I can probably make this work by downloading a Qt6 developer package from their website rather than using Ubuntu, but that seems like a lot of effort. ChucK and ChuGins do compile, so I can work from the command line.

Good news! With a couple of tweaks I got it to build on 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat". The script is attached. Notes:

1. On Ubuntu 24.04, the dependency is qt6-base-dev, not libqt6-base-dev
2. qmake isn't explicitly defined in the system. I got lazy and symlinked /usr/bin/qmake6 onto $HOME/.local/bin/qmake

#! /usr/bin/env bash

set -e

export CHUCK_VERSION="chuck-1.5.2.4"

mkdir --parents Logs
rm -f Logs/*

You can close this if you wish, I don't need it to work on 22.04.
