Hello everyone.
I use Ultimate++ on my Windows Machine, yesterday I wanted to give it a try on my virtual linux machine, but I didn't get it running, hope anyone can help me?
I have Linux Mint Debian, which uses Debian Repositorys. I updated to the latest version and tried the following things:
1) Add the debian repository to the sources.list, as mentioned here: http://upp.invothink.com/release/README
-> I end up in an '500 Server internal error' when I do apt-get update
2) I tried the Ubuntu .deb. First it says something is incompatible. Then I tried it again, the 'install package' button as available, but again something happened (can't remember exactly, was late last night)
3) I decided to download the source and compile it myself. So I downloaded the tarball, extracted it and typed 'make' in the terminal. Result: Error in a Ctrl.h file (can't remember which) which tells me my X11 xfs.h (or similar) is missing. Did a 'find / -name xfs.h', can't be found on my system.
Well, I gave up then... but I definitely WANT Upp on my VM.
Can you guys help me and give me some hints?
Help would be very appreciated.
So thanks in advance and greets.
Nil

I didn't test the repository nor the instructions or anything else then debian, so it might need some fixes to make it work on the derived distros. I suspect that 'lsb_release -sc' returns something else on Mint than on debian. Could you please try to run and post the result here?
You can also try to supply the distro in step 1) manualy (assuming that Mint is based on Debian Wheezy) echo "deb http://upp.invothink.com/release wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upp-release.list

It is quite probable that the dependencies couldn't be solved. Ubuntu often uses different versions of libraries than Debian...

This looks like you miss some of the development pacakges for libraries that TheIDE depends on on linux. You should install them first, this should be enough:apt-get install libx11-dev libxft-dev libpng12-dev libbz2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev
Let me know if you need some further assistance. I sincerely hope that you can make the Debian repository work for you, it should be the easiest way. I will also update the README file to fit better for derived distributions as well.
Best regards,
Honza

Hello and thank you very very much for your fast reply.
Unfortunately I can only test it tonight, at about 8 pm (20:00 o clock)
I will give feedback then.
Oh and if you're updating the readme, is it possible that the wget syntax isn't correct?
I'm not very familiar to linux yet, but this looks very funny to me:
What I mean is the "-" without any parameter? (like the O at -O)
//edit: Nevermind, got the solution. -O - is printing to STDOUT and - is bringing it to STDIN, right?
Source
Regards

Yes, exactly  The -O is a parameter specifying where the output should be stored. It is usually a file, but in this case it is "-" which is common shorthand for standard output in POSIX environments, which is then routed through pipe to the apt-key program. The same could be also written as -O /dev/stdout, but that is bit more verbose and I am too lazy too type

Hi,
I just wanted to say thank you, changing "lsb_release -sc" to "wheezy" solved the problem.
Here is my output from lsb_release -sc resp. lsb_release -a:
| Quote: |
nil@kampfkeks:~$ lsb_release -sc
debian
nil@kampfkeks:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: LinuxMint
Description: Linux Mint Debian Edition
Release: 1
Codename: debian
nil@kampfkeks:~$

So now it's clear why it didn't work yesterday 
The installation was easy, but theres another funny issue right now.
When I run theide, all menus are blank. I can't read anything. I have to put the mouse over, so the text appears.
And another funny thing, when I create a brand new "CtrlLib application with main window" and compile it, I get several errors.
Please take a look at the attached screenshot, maybe you can give me some help.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Nil
//edit: Okay, solved problem #1 by myself. Solution: In theide go Setup -> Environment -> IDE and change GUI theme from "Host platform" to standard". I think the fonts were incompatible.
But for problem #2 ... can you show me your Build Methods? I only got gcc in there. But there has to be mingw, right?

Great I'll adjust the README to handle this.

Seems more like a same color of text and its background. U++ tries to guess those colors from the GTK, but unfortunately, in some cases it can result in little glitches like this.

You are using gcc 4.7, right? It is the only compiler that produces this error The latest stable release came out before gcc4.7 became available, so there this little bug just appeared after compiler upgrade for some people. It is very easy to fix (see this commit). Either apply the change on your installed code, or grab a package from nightly repository (they're more stable anyways )

GCC is default and most used compiler in the non-Windows world It is also possible to use Clang with U++. MinGW on linux is AFAIK only good for cross-compilation to windows (but I might be wrong).

Wow, it's late... gonna be veeeery tired tomorrow.
But what can I say, except than you're great, it works!
Thank you very much, I edited the BiCont.h and now everything compiles fine, so I guess I'm good to go.
Thanks once again, this topic can be closed
