No support? ;)
Have you RTFM or looked in the forum? It's a known compile error with a known workaround.

Poor Support
I can not get hydrogen to compile. I emailed the author weeks ago with no response:
if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../lib -I/usr/lib/qt/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -O3 -MT PreferencesDialog.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/PreferencesDialog.Tpo" -c -o PreferencesDialog.o PreferencesDialog.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/PreferencesDialog.Tpo" ".deps/PreferencesDialog.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/PreferencesDialog.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
PreferencesDialog.cpp: In constructor `
PreferencesDialog::PreferencesDialog(QWidget*)':

I also get errors when trying to compile the latest CVS build.

A nice piece of work.
Light, smooth, cute and reliable, a good step toward a more multimedia oriented GNU/Linux, with a very nice gui.
