Hi, I'm using a fresh install of Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 11 and tried to run this code. Since I'm quite new to C++ development, the error log is here for you:

Hi Daniel, and thank you for the interest in my project!

As you may tell by the commit history, it's been over a decade since it was in active development. I do remember is that it was built using the QT framework, and your errors hint to it not being installed. I wouldn't be able to tell you how to install it, but a good starting point would be to download QT 4.8 (corresponding to late 2012, the time this was developed) and proceed from there. The truncation from 'double' to 'float' warnings can safely be ignored, there's nothing critical about the data generated internally in this program.
