Doesn't compile on Ubuntu 14.04 and newer in launchpad.net - /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 Makefile:216: recipe for target 'libqtnote.so.3.0.3' failed

I've created automatic Ubuntu packaging recipe for QtNote, see https://code.launchpad.net/~baltix/+recipe/qtnote-daily , but all builds fails because of strange error:

Full build log is available at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/229109281/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-i386.qtnote_3.0.3-0~333~ubuntu14.04.1_BUILDING.txt.gz I set build recipe to build revision a496f71 (dated 2015-11-06), because I see text 'break everything' in later revision's comments :)

Maybe some build dependencies are missing in debian/control ? Or maybe revision a496f71 is broken, then please tell be which revision is most stable :)

Btw, if you are registered at http://launchpad.net I can set you as http://launchpad.net/qtnote project maintainer or driver.

Hi Baltix,

Thanks for report! The revision is ok. Could find libX11.so library on your system? (I think it's a symlink from corresponding *-dev package). If it's not installed anywhere for some reason, try to install *-dev package. I believe X11 is still heavily used on Ubuntu 14.04, so the library should be there.

I'll check it on Ubuntu in couple of hours.

I started a huge refactoring, so probably all next revisions will be broken for few weeks or even months.

Ok. I tested it on Ubuntu. Compiled and started. But seems my tray plugin for Unity does not work well. and Unity itself is quite buggy for me. Maybe I have to update my system.

I have another Ubuntu system with KDE on top. It works good there.
