Found a few more compile glitches.  I previously was using a 32-bit install of Fedora but decided to build a 64-bit install on a 4GB USB drive (to be able to plug into any computer to test various midi/piano software).

On 64-bit Fedora, compile fails because it's looking for QT development tools in /usr/lib/qt4/bin/.  On a 64-bit install, those tools are in /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/ instead.  Solution was to symlink the "missing" QT binaries to /usr/lib/*.

Symlinking was only needed on the compiling machine.  I then copied the binary to another Fedora 64-bit install (running 20 instead of 19) and it ran fine without the tweaks.

When my work frees up a bit, I'll contribute more.  I've been trying to integrate some of the various code suggestions in this forum (background color, Do-Re-Mi, etc) into a single bulk patch to be turned on/off via config dialog but then sidetracked by some big work deadlines.
