hi dear mclarekin I have compiled but when I want to test the program using:
$ ./mandelbulber2 --help-input
it shows:

I don't know how to deal with it, the usage says:
Usage: ./mandelbulber2 [options] settings_file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buddhi1980/mandelbulber2/master/mandelbulber2/deploy/README
but there are no directories called settings_file

Hi William, I just use a script to install all that i need in Ubuntu for the development version and open program in QT creator ( and have very little understanding of compiling the program by other methods)

we need Krzysztof (Buddhi ) to help you .

BTW using dev 2.25 is OK at the moment, but sometimes the dev versions can have unfinished code or code that may change

@ Krzysztof, out of interest i always get this share directory error, but it still works. Should i create a 'share' directory in /home/graeme/git/mandelbulber2/mandelbulber2?

Starting /home/graeme/git/mandelbulber2/mandelbulber2/build-mandelbulber-Desktop-Debug/mandelbulber2...

Error! There is no 'share' directory in /home/graeme/git/mandelbulber2/mandelbulber2

Trying to use /usr/share/mandelbulber2 as program data directory

Error! Directory /usr/share/doc/mandelbulber2doesn't exist!

@WilliamWangPeng you are getting very strange error messages. If you run just ./mandelbulber will the program start (will program window appear)?

What Linux distro do you use? What version of Qt libraries is installed in the system? Have you compiled qt libraries by yourself? Have you tried to run the program from Appimage: https://github.com/buddhi1980/mandelbulber2/releases/tag/untagged-6acab21149ae584cfe0a
