Compiling Under Ubuntu 13.10

Pixy Software
#1

I was able to get the Pixymon application to complile under Ububntu 13.10 and QT-common(5 I believe). I had to make the following changes to the code:

in Main.cpp I had to change:

#include <QtGui/QApplication> to #include

and in pixymon.pro I added the line:

QT += widgets

This allowed the application to compile. However, while the application detects my device, it seems to be having trouble communicating with it. I have attached a screenshot.

The device seems to be detected as per the dmesg command:

[1299761.553629] usb 3-3: new high-speed USB device number 16 using xhci_hcd
[1299761.570537] usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=b1ac, idProduct=f000
[1299761.570544] usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[1299761.570549] usb 3-3: Product: Pixy
[1299761.570552] usb 3-3: Manufacturer: Charmed Labs
[1299761.570555] usb 3-3: SerialNumber: DEMO 0.0

Please advise. Thank you.

All,

A gentleman has gone ahead and forked the repo and I can now compile and run Pixymon under Ubuntu 13.10. The fork is:

I still had to make the above mentioned modifications to the code to get it to compile, but once those were made, it worked fine.
