I just committed a change that allows synthclone to be built when the
default Python interpreter is a Python 3 interpreter (which I think it is,
in your case). This should take care of the "'file' is not defined" errors.

The uitools error is a bit more complex. A bit of research tells me that
this is an issue when trying to build a Qt 4 application (like synthclone)
against Qt 5. I haven't started porting synthclone to Qt 5 yet, so I don't
expect this to work. I suggest you get in touch with the package
maintainer and make sure that synthclone is explicitly linking against Qt
4. There may also be something I can do on my end to make things work
properly. Not sure.

I'm going to keep this issue open for now, as it will serve as a reminder
that I have to get around to porting synthclone to Qt 5.

Please let me know if the change solves your problem.

Thanks. :)

you're right, must be the Qt5:

./configure --prefix=/usr
Reading /home/harv/synthclone/src/src.pro
Reading /home/harv/synthclone/src/lib/lib.pro

Comment #5 on issue 19 by surfacep...@gmail.com: can't build on ArchLinux 64

I did a little research, and found that ArchLinux adds symlinks to
different qmakes for different Qt versions installed on your system. Some
info can be found here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qt

I added a switch to the configure script that allows you to specify the
location of the qmake executable you want to use. So, this might work:

./configure --prefix=/usr --qmake=qmake-qt4

Let me know if this works for you.

nope, didn't work:

./configure --prefix=/usr --qmake=qmake-qt4
Usage: configure [options] [qmake-args]

configure: error: no such option: --qmake

Are you checking out the source from the git repository? Make sure you
checkout the source from git:

git clone https://code.google.com/p/synthclone/

I should have specified the source checkout earlier instead of assuming
that you had already checked out the source. Sorry about that.

Yikes! Another Python 3 incompatibility. Sorry about that. Just fixed it
in trunk.

You're welcome! Thanks for your patience. I'm going to close this bug,
and open another for porting to Qt5.

I hope you enjoy using synthclone. Let me know if you run into any more
issues.

Oh! Fantastic. Have you released any music that contains synthcloned
instruments? :)

I've been ripping sf2 drumkits for Hydrogen.. Haven't tried any synths
yet.. I made music of course with the kits.. no releases yet.
