build fail, how to build

[zzs213]

I'm using Ubuntu-20.04. And build it using the flowwing commands:

• git clone https://github.com/dannagle/PacketSender.git
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ../PacketSender/src/
• make

But it failed. It seems that postdatagen.cpp not added to Cmakelist.txt.
The flowwing is the build output

Hello, you need to use qmake workflow to build it.

cd src
qmake PacketSender.pro
make clean
make -j4

Packet Sender for Windows/Mac uses Qt 5.15, but I think any qmake version going back as far as 5.8 will work. For Ubuntu 20, I believe apt install qt5-default will get you going.

Hope that helps,
Dan
