Hi there Aaron

Firstly thanks for the response.

I can compile the "full" qgis without any dramas at all, I have also started writing a plugin that I hope to get working. (for cross referencing a gpx layer to the underlying attributes, for tracking vehicles etc)

So I thought that I would try and compile the tut 6.

Checked out the source - finally managed to get the include dirs sorted, and now I am getting some compile errors. So I thought I would do a make clean which wiped out the .pro file

There was something wrong in there - as it could find everything except qgsconfig.h which seems to only exist when you build the full qgis source.

I think this is because I checked out and was including stuff from the unstable branch - I will try again using the 08 version sources and see if I have a better experience.

******EDIT******

I keep getting this error

[courtz@main tut1]$ make
qmake -o Makefile tut1.pro
WARNING: Failure to find: mainwindow.h
WARNING: Failure to find: mainwindowbase.ui
make: *** No rule to make target `mainwindowbase.ui', needed by `mainwindowbase.h'. Stop.
[courtz@main tut1]$ qmake
WARNING: Failure to find: mainwindow.h
WARNING: Failure to find: mainwindowbase.ui

I obviously do not have all the files from this tutorial - where can I get them???

This aside - a step by step would be nice to take me back to basics with tut 1 and successfully getting this to work.compile. I jumped too far ahead of myself.

I would prefer to write the app from scratch and use only the components I need to get the functionality that I am after.

But please start me off in the right direction.

Cheers and Regards,
Courtney.
