I need some compilation instructions.

[CAN (canxx-deactivatedaccount)]

I'll repost this in U++ forum where you may get more attention.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Ok, thanks.

I thought I got the most attention if I post it on the bug tracker :)

[CAN (canxx-deactivatedaccount)]

See http://www.ultimatepp.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=4717&start=0&
If you want to build U++ using linux_scripts you'll need theIDE to be installed because these scripts use it to build the new IDE(kind of cyclic dependency) or you may choose to export theIDE project (using theIDE) which will generate an makefile and you'll need just make to build it or you may use the package generated on googlecode and build U++ based on one package from there.

P.S.: you may create an account on forum to receive more feedback about the problem if the information you received is not enough to help you solving it. :)

Starting from scratch.

There are errors at the compilation. Probably caused by apt-cacher-ng:

There's this PPA for few years providing Ubuntu (nightly) builds:

https://launchpad.net/~dolik-rce/+archive/ubuntu/upp

The owner of the PPA did quite some work to make the packaging process a bit closer to other SW, but still an review from experienced packager to check quality of packaging and build processes would be welcome for sure (if feedback is posted at U++ forum, the developers will try to improve what is possible). (but take into consideration this is whole stand-alone C++ framework + GUI library with it's own perks like custom build system, so the building+packaging process may look a bit complex at first)
