I would like to add that if anyone else gets the below error and an exit during the above instructions you need to install the "debhelper" app.

sudo apt-get install debhelper

error:
dh_testdir
make: dh_testdir: Command not found
make: *** [clean] Error 127
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2

another error i got while following this tutorial was:

Code: Select all

make: /usr/bin/uic-qt4: Command not found
make: *** [ui_mainwindow.h] Error 127


this was solved by installing libqt4-dev

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

I was getting this error

"sni-qt/25413" WARN  15:52:19.263 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE

I solved it by removing sni-qt

sudo apt-get remove sni-qt
