Linux compilation

[NicolasIriarte]

Hi hello! Maybe I'm missing something but the current source code doesn't copile: It throw:

/home/user/Gits/chigraph-gui/src/mainwindow.cpp:265:41: error: ‘textTriggered’ is not a member of ‘KSelectAction’
  265 |                         &KSelectAction::textTriggered, this,

That error I could fix it but there are another one on thememanager.cpp (I disable the theme manager on my build).

Once installed the user interface works, but it is extremely buggy, throwing segmentation faults on simple actions.

I have some questions:

• It is always this buggy? (I know it is on active development and I'm not expecting a full working application, but this point is unusable)
• Clearly the linux build doesn't even compile, the given kf5 version doesn't have the method KSelectAction::textTriggered -> I'm missing something here?

On any case, I can make a PR fixing that compile error.

Thanks for this amazing project!

Happy to accept a PR fixing it! I don't touch this code often but it would be great to keep it building :)

Under further attempts I found out the program crashed a lot because of third party directory. Installing KF5 manually on my system and not running the setup.py script increased greatly the application stability.

I could remove that dependency from Linux if you want to (It didn't even compile with the provided KF5) .

I don't know about Mac or Windows dependency, I don't have any computer with those OS.

Edit 1: Also, great work! It's a really nice piece of software! 🎉
