Qtractr source code edit
21 November, 2016 - 11:00 — audioDSPking
was wondering, for a lot of these open source programs, i wanted to learn more about code and how stuff works, is there a way to edit the source code on open source programs, such as qtracker, like a program that i can edit and see the changes realtime, i see that Qtrackter is written in c plus and Qt, are they free programs, how do we do this,

re. Qtractr source code edit
uh? first of all you ought to spell qtractor right, don't you? :D
then, you're asking for something that one and me alone cannot ever put in simple terms on a forum post.
the right answer is way too complex and might well spawn into too many complications, you know? probably not. :)
ok. let's get you started with this:
1. get to know git (source code management).
2. get a github account.
3. know how to checkout code from github (qtractor repository is: https://github.com/rncbc/qtractor).
4. git clone and then git pull on a regular basis; every time you do a git pull make sure you issue the ./autogen.sh && ./configure ... magic spell.
5. use qtcreator to open qtractor.pro
6. you're on your own.
but let me tell you that qtractor is no simple code to start learning anything. it's already kinda a freaking complex application, and way too complicated for a new comer at least.
but again, you're then left on point 6. :)
hth.
cheers
