Build from source

In this way, you can get the latest unreleased features and get ready for contributing. It needs more steps but is the only choice if your OS is not officially supported.
  1. Clone this repo and submodules:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cpeditor/cpeditor.git
    cd cpeditor
    
  2. Install Qt (5.15 or higher), CMake (3.12 or higher) and Python3 .

    • On some Linux distributions and macOS, you can install from your package manager. For example, sudo pacman -S qt5 on Arch Linux, brew install qt5 on macOS.
    • You can also use aqtinstall to install Qt.
  3. If CMake can’t find the Qt installation path, you should set the environment variable: CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=%QtPath%/%QtVersion%/%Compiler%/lib/cmake. For example, on macOS, you can run something like export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.15.1".

  4. Run the following commands:

    • Linux/macOS:

      mkdir build
      cd build
      cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
      cmake --build .
      
    • Windows:

       mkdir build
       cd build
       cmake ..
       cmake --build . --config Release
      

On Linux, you will get build/cpeditor.

On macOS, you will get build/cpeditor.app.

On Windows, you will get build\cpeditor.exe, or build\Release\cpeditor.exe. If DLLs are missing, you can add %QtPath%\%QtVersion%\%Compiler%\bin (for example, D:\Qt\5.15.1\msvc2019_64\bin) to the PATH environmental variable.
