  qmake -r
  make -j 4

=========== Consists of following subprojects:

• trikControl: library for interacting with robot hardware, provides interface for hardware as Qt classes with signals and slots, that can be used from other Qt programs or Qt Script.
• trikScriptRunner: library providing Qt Script interpreter that uses trikControl to enable interaction with hardware from scripts.
• trikCommunicator: library that provides network interface to run programs on a robot.
• trikRun: command-line utility to execute Qt Script files.
• trikServer: command-line server for network communications, uses trikCommunicator library.
• trikGui: user interface that can show various settings (like IP address), file system, run scripts, act as a server with trikCommunicator and so on.
• trikHAL: library with hardware abstraction layer.
• trikKernel: library with common code for all other projects.
