help the noob:

git pull means executing:

git clone https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict.git

right?

Nope. If you already have a cloned repository, just go there and invoke:

Code: Select all

git pull

ultra noob asks:

do I have to qmake & make again?

Yes. Not always it is required, but to make sure you're building the right way it is recommended to do that every time you update the sources via git pull.

In fact, if you wish to be extra careful, it also makes sense to clean the previously built results via `make clean`, like this:

Code: Select all

git pull
qmake
make clean
make

Most of the time I omit `make clean` to speed up the build significantly. But when I release a development build for other users I always clean first and build everything from scratch.
