Description SP 2017-05-14 20:45:53 UTC

I have built and installed Minuet from github source. (I presume it is version 0.2 though this is not reported from the command line.)  The program installs flawlessy as it reports that I have all the requirements.  The program does not start if it is run from the GUI.  If I run it from a terminal it reports, "Could not find a suitable SoundController plugin!"  I see that the following are installed:
/usr/include/minuet/interfaces/isoundcontroller.h
/usr/lib64/plugins/minuet/minuetfluidsynthsoundcontroller.so

My environment:
KDE Plasma 5.9.5
KDE Frameworks 5.33.0
Qt 5.7.1
Kernel: 4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64

Any advice or help appreciated

Ran strace and discovered that the program was expecting the minuet plugin folder to be in /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/minuet whereas the build had installed it in /usr/lib64/plugins/minuet.  Made a symlink and now the program works.

If the files are not installed in the correct locations, the cmake scripts need to be fixed.
