Boss rc-500 tool to play with the XML configuration... until Boss make our life easier

User Manual

If you just want to use it without dive into the glory details, you can go the documentation directly here.

Compilation

You need to install : CMake (https://cmake.org/) + Conan (https://conan.io/) and a compiler for your system (gcc, ...)

Linux

git clone https://github.com/dfleury2/boss-rc500-editor.git
cd boss-rc500-editor
mkdir build && cd build
conan install .. -pr:b default -pr default -b missing
cmake ..
make

Personal note: Remove os.version from settings and user default-gcc10 as profile CC=gcc-10 CXX=g++-10 conan install .. -pr default-gcc10 -r conan-center

Use specific conan repo,

export CONAN_USER_HOME=${HOME}/conan-gcc10

with simpler profiles

Windows

You need to launch a Developer command prompt to have your compiler environment accessible by CMake and Conan.

git clone https://github.com/dfleury2/boss-rc500-editor.git
cd boss-rc500-editor
md build
cd build
conan install .. -pr:b vs2019 -pr vs2019 -b missing
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
cd ..
.\build\bin\BossRc500.exe

or you can open the solution file under the build directory. (rc500-tools.sln). Visual Studio will open, which will allow you to compiler under VS directly. I do not use Visual Studio anymore, but to run the program, you must change the working directory to the project root, where the resources directory is, else the program could not find the images and others files needed.

If you use CLion, after the conan install command, you can open the project root directory in it.

Tips

Under Linux (Debian), if Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file: No such file: (null) appears

You can add export FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts before launching the tools

If Could not create collator: 4, you can set ICU_DATA to the location of icu dat file.

export ICU_DATA=~/.conan/data/icu/69.1/_/_/package/3d01f378bd85430e39906eeeaec39c5b63de106c/res/icudt69l.dat
