I've recently built SleepyHead on Linux.

Here's my notes on the build.

YMMV with different linux distributions.

How I just built the Linux version of SH.


From a fairly virgin Mint 17.1 32 bit cinnamon distribution.

------

$ sudo -i


# apt-get install libqt5serialport5
# apt-get install git
# apt-get install qt5-qmake
# apt-get install qt5-default
# apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev
# apt-get install libqt5serialport5-dev
# apt-get install g++
# apt-get install libudev-dev

exit from sudo

# exit

Go to your home directory and create a directory for SleepyHead.
Or put it somewhere else if you want to.

$ cd
$ mkdir shbuild
$ cd shbuild


$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/sleepyhead/code sleepyhead-code

$ cd sleepyhead-code

$ qmake
$ make

Executable is shbuild/sleepyhead/SleepyHead

---------

Depending on the distribution you use, you might need to pull some other packages.

Here's a script I made.

---------

#/bin/bash


sudo apt-get install libqt5serialport5 git qt5-qmake qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5serialport5-dev g++ libudev-dev

mkdir shbuild
cd shbuild


git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/sleepyhead/code sleepyhead-code

cd sleepyhead-code

qmake
make

You may get an error about needing the "BrokenGL" version, depending on your hardware.

If you need to build the "BrokenGL" version for Linux, put

DEFINES+=BrokenGL

on the end when you do the qmake step.

i.e.

qmake DEFINES+=BrokenGL

If you've already built without the BrokenGL, you'll need to force make to rebuild things. There's probably a smarter way, but I THINK

make -B

would rebuild everything.

[archangle]

BTW, there will be a ton of error messages and warnings during the build processes above. My compiled version still ran.

There are also a lot of debug messages that come out to the console when you run the executable. Mine still runs OK.

If you are building SH with QtCreator (the first recommendation), you don't get to add to the qmake line (AFAIK). So I added a file called BrokenGL as suggested, but it wouldn't build the BrokenGL version until I changed line 18 in the file _sleepyhead.pro_ from
contains(DEFINES, BrokenGL) {
to
exists(BrokenGL) {

Now all is well and I can read all the Daily Report graphs.
Of course I could have added the _DEFINES += BrokenGL_ bit to the beginning of the sleepyhead.pro file... but I had already added the BrokenGL file to the directory - which the comments said was required...

So, two ways to make a BrokenGL version for those of us with old graphics cards.

BTW, my clue that I needed the BrokenGL version was that most of the text in the Daily Report page was solid black blocks. Now if I could convince QtCreator to do a BrokenGL...

Excellent software, I'm glad I found it and the ApneaBoard.

@PHolyNyk: (1) I see you are using a ResMed AirSense 10 and yet you mention the SleepyHead software. I just got an AirSense 10 two days ago (much older Respironics REMaster Pro M series for 4 to 8 years before that (broken usage time period, hence weird year designation)). I was looking at SleepyHead, and it doesn't mention being compatible with the ResMed AirSense, so I wasn't going to set up the software. What gives? Do you use the software now, or was that an older usage, with a previous machine?

(2) Your avatar makes me wonder if I know you from MobileRead? Even your username seems similar ..... Or is it just a coincidence that you picked a photo that somebody over there uses too? I haven't loaded my Xena piccy here yet .... I just joined here.

Hi bgD (2) yep, it's me. I seem to be spending more time here than there while I get used to my new machine

(1) The latest beta versions support the AirSense - 0.9.8-1-testing -- I think there are versions for Windows and Mac already built, but I needed a Linux version for broken GL -- hence the earlier note.

Small world, eh?

Indeed, small world! It's nice to meet a friendly "face" whom I already recognize. And thanks for the tip that the software does work. I'll install it after all!

I love my AirSense 10 after only 2 days. My only "adjustment" is to the face straps on my mask system. If I don't find an over-the-head position which loosens their tension, I may ask for the "Him" version, assuming the elastics are longer. I'll give it another few days first. Are you new to CPAPs as a whole? (Or shouldn't I continue this thought, in this thread?)

you should start a thread... alternately there are several old ones discussing the elastic on the P10 Airfit... (his is not bigger than hers - you can stretch, or alter if needed or choose a more adjustable mask)

I tried a build on Mint a while ago and found a few bugs; times were out of whack, and the reports were missing data that the Windoze version provided. Really didn't have time to dig too deep - had new machine so was more interested in seeing data than doing something resembling my day job.

Wound up running the BrokenGL version in WINE as an interim. Ideally would like it to run on my primary desktop (currently Ubuntu.. yeah, yeah, I know..). Will give these instructions a crack when time permits.
