Cloning the repository
The main git repository has submodules, so you need to execute the update_repository
script (available as .bat for Windows and .sh for Linux / Mac) after cloning the project in order to clone the nested repositories. Subsequently, you can use the same update_repository
script at any time to pull incoming changes to the main repo, as well as to all the subrepos, thus updating everything to the latest revision.
Building
- A compiler with C++ 0x/11 support is required (std::thread, lambda functions etc.).
- Qt 5.6 or newer required.
- Windows: you can build using either Qt Creator or Visual Studio for IDE. Visual Studio 2013 or newer is required - v120 toolset or newer. Run
qmake -tp vc -r
to generate the solution for Visual Studio. I have not tried building with MinGW, but it should work as long as you enable C++ 11 support. - Linux: open the project file in Qt Creator and build it.
- Mac OS X: You can use either Qt Creator (simply open the project in it) or Xcode (run
qmake -r -spec macx-xcode
and open the Xcode project that's been generated).
