Following [this struggle](https://stackoverflow.com/q/61397688/4999991), I found the right `qmake` executable and made the `MakeFile`. However, when building I get the error: > ../src/simavr/sim/read_elf.c:27:10: fatal error: 'libelf.h' file not found #include ^~~~~~~~~~...

Hi @pgregory , How is it going on your side? We still don't have contribution guidelines. Please do suggest if you have a good template in mind. Looking forward to...

@Mihaylov93 shouldn't `qmake` take care of that for me? CMake does that AFIK. I think we need to edit the `SimulIDE.pro` in the root folder to look for this header...

I'm no programmer, but CMake has these `find.txt` modules where you could instruct CMake to find the specific library on all kinds of crazy platforms and package managers. There is...

I get the error ~~~ Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_elf_begin", referenced from: _elf_read_firmware_ext in read_elf.o _elf_read_firmware in sim_elf.o "_elf_end", referenced from: _elf_read_firmware_ext in read_elf.o _elf_read_firmware in sim_elf.o "_elf_getdata", referenced...

I just installed `libelf` using HomeBrew! should I compile that thing myself?

This `read_elf.c` file was written by [Popov Alexey]([email protected]). @lemonpaul is that you? Any idea how this should be solved? I asked [this question on SO](https://stackoverflow.com/q/64216770/4999991).

@Mihaylov93 this seems like a great idea. do you think we can make the current qmake structure more stable first or should we switch immediately?

@Mihaylov93 how about we make a new branch for CMake?

@guerinoni I deliberately did not install any of the dependencies. I need error messages to be indexed by the search engines.
