You're okay. It's my stupid eyes - I didn't notice that the count had moved from the left of "Matches Found" to the right.

Probably got lost as there wasn't an issue. A quick test shows it's possible to configure the font and size of the text in the Find and Replace boxes, so I'll look at an option to set it. It may be limited in size due to the text box, etc.

That would be a boon! To be able to pick a font and size would be great

The error message dialog that pops up to warn of malformed markup errors on loading an epub:
It should be resizeable (when there's a long list it's nice to be able to resize), while the cursors change to show it can be resized it is unable. The window also has max/min buttons which do not work as intended and should be removed.

I was using 'Join Paragraph' S&R. Every once in a while I would see (see image>

Examining the code I now see:

Build a test version with Qt 5 and we will test.

I would like to build Sigil for Ubuntu, but installation fails. I am not familiar with building program from source, so I would appreciate advices on what I'm doing wrong.

Here's what I've been doing.

1. Download CMake 2.8.10 from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
2. run ./bootstrap ; make ; sudo make install
3. Downlad Qt 5.0.1 for 64bit linux from http://qt-project.org/downloads
4. Install by running ./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.1-x86_64-offline.run

CMake installed without errors, and the installer wizard from Qt finished successfull. But when I run

/usr/local/bin/cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ~/Downloads/Sigil-0.6.901-Code

I get the following error:

-- Could NOT find Boost
-- Could NOT find ZLIB (missing:  ZLIB_LIBRARY ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR) 
-- Could NOT find MiniZip
-- checking for module 'xerces-c>=3.1'
--   package 'xerces-c>=3.1' not found
-- checking for module 'hunspell'
--   package 'hunspell' not found
-- checking for module 'libpcre16'
--   package 'libpcre16' not found
-- Could NOT find XercesExtensions
-- Could NOT find FlightCrew
CMake Error at src/Sigil/CMakeLists.txt:38 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5Core.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Core", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Core" with any
  of the following names:

    Qt5CoreConfig.cmake
    qt5core-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Core" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Qt5Core_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Qt5Core" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I see most of the missing stuff is in the Sigil-0.6.901-Code/src folder, I just have to find a way to point cmake to them, but I'm very puzzled by the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH issue. How do I point that to the installpoint of QtCore?

Is there a makefile for linux that takes care of this? I see the CMakeLists.txt, but that appears to be for apple.

Oh, and why can't Sigil have a nice little bootstrap-script like cmake has? One command to rule them all would rule completely

Can somebody more cunning than me in unux please

If you got the "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt5.0.1/5.0.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/" part figured out, you should be ready to issue the make/make install commands.

The parts in the src file that it doesn't find still puzzles me though

I get the following error:

-- Could NOT find Boost
-- Could NOT find ZLIB (missing:  ZLIB_LIBRARY ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR)

I think you're misunderstanding the messages here. Cmake is not finding those packages on your system, so it's going to build those libraries from the source included with Sigil's source package. I you had had any of those libraries installed on your system, it would try to use those instead of building them from scratch. It's not saying it can't find the packages in Sigil's src directory.

I got a crap-ton of warnings (especially when it built FlightCrew) from gcc 4.7, but compilation completed without errors and I got a working binary. You may or may not have to use a script that adds the Qt5 lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable before launching Sigil, though. Mileage seems to vary on that.
