I downloaded targui from sourceforge and it comes in a tar.bz2 archive with no .configure and no instructions regarding install. However, the archive contains a Makefile.
Looking at the Makefile (and what little documentation on sourcefourge) looks like the only dependencies are qt4, which are installed on my system at /usr/share/qt4, as the Makefile seems to require.

What am I supposed to do in order to install this package ?

Link to the sourceforge page:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/targui/

UPDATE

The Makefile has this comment:

#

Makefile for building: targui

Generated by qmake (2.01a) (Qt 4.3.2) on: Fr Dez 28 12:32:13 2007

Project: targui.pro

Template: app

Command: /usr/bin/qmake -unix -o Makefile targui.pro

#

So, from within the directory containing the targui folder I tried:

/usr/bin/qmake -unix -o Makefile targui.pro

but terminal says:

qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

UPDATE 2

Built according to NOorbert instructions. It segfaults

Fixed mainwindow.cpp so now it looks like:

void MainWindow::TabChanged(int i) 

if (newAct) newAct->setEnabled(i > 0);
if (openAct) openAct->setEnabled(i > 0);
if (saveAct) saveAct->setEnabled(i > 0);
if (saveAsAct) saveAsAct->setEnabled(i > 0);

and changed the tar references to /bin in the same file

.targui still segfaults

Build targui as in N0rbert's answer, then read below for getting the binary to run.

• The targui segfault on startup is due to MainWindow::TabChanged from mainwindow.cpp dereferencing invalid pointers, and adding checks here allows the program to start. For instance, change newAct->setEnabled(i > 0); to if (newAct) newAct->setEnabled(i > 0);, and do the same for the other three pointers.




• mainwindow.cpp contains hardcoded strings like /usr/bin/tar that might not point to extant binaries. For instance, Ubuntu's tar is in /bin, so fix them accordingly.

You need to install qmake for Qt4 and development packages for it:

sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev

then run make:

cd ~/Downloads
tar -xf targui-0.3_beta.tar.bz2
cd targui
make

and then run the application

./targui

but it segfaults on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Then you should decide - what do you want to achieve by compiling application from 2008 year ten years after.

If you simply need graphical archival tool - you can use File Roller (on GNOME), Engrampa (on MATE) and so on.

In order to get targui not to segfault, the changes to mainwindow.cpp according to dsstorefile1 answer must be done BEFORE and NOT AFTER compiling, according to NOrbert answer.
