I’ve played Go for years. I’ve found that having a graphical Go client has helped me improve my game immensely. And, unlike many distractors,. I can make a move, then switch back in to work mode without really losing my train of thought.
I always like the QGo client. I have found it to be worthwhile to build and run from the git repo. After moving to RHEL 7.5 for my desktop, I had to go through the process again. Here is the short version.
Playing Go using the the QGo Client
All of the pre-reqs can come from Yum.
For the compiler and build tools, it is easiest to use a yum group:
sudo yum groupinstall "Development and Creative Workstation" |
Once those packages are installed, you need some of the Qt5 development packages. At the bottom are is the complete list I have. I did not install all of these directly, but instead recently installed:
qt5-devel qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qttranslations qt5-qtmultimedia qt5-qtmultimedia-devel |
TO run the actual qmake command, things are a bit different from the README.
/usr/bin/qmake-qt5 src make |
That puts things in ../build, which took me a moment to find.
Now I can run qgo with
/home/ayoung/devel/build/qgo |
Et Voila
