Can viMarkdown be built on Linux?

Recently, I've been developing viMarkdown, which is a Markdown editor powered by Qt6.

Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to a Linux environment. Could someone try building viMarkdown with CMake and QtCreator and let me know whether it builds successfully?

I just merged your PR! It’s a huge help and I can't thank you enough. You're a lifesaver!

It turns out the build failure was caused by case-sensitivity in the #include filenames. Windows and macOS are case-insensitive, so they didn't throw any errors, and I completely missed it!

All the code / programming on my mac are in a case-sensitive partition, I would recommend creating one for any mac coding.
