How to build RStudio on Ubuntu 18.04?

RStudio IDE
1

Hi.

Rstudio 1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 does not integrate well with Gnome. This will solve colors and other issues: printf '\nexport QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk\n' | sudo tee -a ~/.profile + reboot.

However, I notice RStudio hangs after a few minutes on 18.04. I am trying to create a PPA building from source but after updating dependencies (i.e gstreamer1.0 replaces gstreamer0.1) I get this error:

pacha@XPS-13-9360:~/GitHub/rstudio/build$ sudo make install
Buildfile: /home/pacha/GitHub/rstudio/src/gwt/build.xml

ext:
   [jscomp] None of the files changed. Compilation skipped.

javac:

gwtc:
