git clone git://github.com/commontk/AppLauncher.git
mkdir AppLauncher-Release
cd AppLauncher-Release
cmake -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/home/jchris/Dashboards/Support/qt-static-release-4.7.0/bin/qmake -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release ../AppLauncher

Mac

cd ~/Projects
git clone git://github.com/commontk/AppLauncher.git
