Hi.

Im trying to install on ubuntu 19.10, the steps I made are as follow:

git clone [email protected]:kitone/subtitleeditor.git cd subtitleeditor/ ./autogen.sh make

running make gives me the following error:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop

There is a typo in the readme; it should include the ./configure command between ./autogen.sh and make. So the full list would be

git clone [email protected]:kitone/subtitleeditor.git
cd subtitleeditor/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

By the way, subtitleeditor is in the Ubuntu 19.10 package repository:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/eoan/+source/subtitleeditor

so you wouldn't have to build it from source.
