The build error appears on a different file each time. I originally used Qt5 as per the instructions however recently tried using Qt4 to see if it made any difference, it didnt.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

OK, I can replicate this issue on my laptop - probably down to the latest version of gcc being stricter than previously. It’s a trivial fix, and will hopefully be available relatively quickly once the change has been through our testing and review process.

There will probably still be a bunch of warnings, but these can be safely ignored. I’ll probably get round to fixing them at some point, but that will require a bit of thought…

Thank you very much.

Will I need to do any updates? Or is it a case of waiting for the fix to be processed?

Sorry, yes the fix has now been merged, you can try updating with:

git pull
./build

Seems to work fine on my laptop.
