Building Polyphone for Fedora

Use these instructions if you cannot install Polyphone on your Fedora distribution with the available installers in the section “Download” (verified: Aug 27, 2020 on Fedora 32, 64bit).

Prerequisite

Qt installation

After a base installation of Fedora, install the following packages (including a compiler) as pre-requisites for Qt development:

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install @development-tools

Then you can either install the default Qt framework with the following command:

sudo dnf install qt-creator qt5-qtsvg-devel qt5-qttools-devel

Polyphone dependencies

Install the following dependencies (if you have Synaptic installed you could alternatively use it for installation):

sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel rtaudio-devel zlib-devel libogg-devel flac-devel libvorbis-devel glib2-devel openssl-devel rtmidi-devel stk-devel

Build

Sources

First, get Polyphone sources from here  or from GitHub .

If you want to continue the build with Qt Creator, follow now this tutorial: build with Qt Creator. Otherwise, continue the reading of this document.

Getting the executable

Go into source directory (where the file polyphone.pro is located), open a terminal and build Polyphone with this command:

qmake-qt5 && make

If everything goes well you will have the compiled file polyphone in the build-XXX subdirectory next to sources.
