You need Qt4 libraries installed in your system. Packages/files to install
depends on your operating system:
- Windows: download QT4 from http://qt.nokia.com/
- Linux: install QT4 using your package manager, look for packages having QT4
in their name, e.g. for Ubuntu install libqt4-core, libqt4-gui and libqt4-xml

Compiling

Creator and/or command line tools to build the GUI.

Translations
------------
The GUI is translated to several languages. Qt comes with two tools to update
and compile the translations. lupdate updates translations files from the code
and lrelease compiles translation files use with the executable.
To update translations:
- run lupdate gui.pro to update the translation files to match the code. This
command updates all the .ts files. Which can be then edited to translate
the application.
To compile translations:
- run lrelease gui.pro to compile .ts files to .qm files which are used by the
executable.
