Compile Converseen on from Source Code

To manually compile Converseen on any GNU/Linux distribution, you need the gnu c++ compiler, Qt5 or Qt6 Framework Libraries and ImageMagick++ development libraries (preferably ImageMagick version 7 but legacy version 6 is also perfectly compatible). Download Converseen, extract the archive content, enter directory and build the executable using these commands:

Install Converseen using Qt5:

tar -xvf converseen-0.*.tar.bz2

cd converseen-0.x

mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. (to install on /usr/local/)

or

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. (to install on /usr/)

make

make install

Install Converseen using Qt6:

tar -xvf converseen-0.*.tar.bz2

cd converseen-0.x

mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. -DUSE_QT6=yes (to install on /usr/local/)

or

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DUSE_QT6=yes .. (to install on /usr/)

make

make install
