Well I am hopeful again...
So from github I followed the bouncing ball through the install. All appeared to go as supposed to ending in 100% build completed
However when I tried the run command I get this error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mint@mint:~/trunk-build$ ./recorder

I did notice that there was not a config.json file in the build directory, I believe there is supposed to be one created during the make.
Now, as usual I am stumped again
