Building Manually

Application uses cmake as its build system and vcpkg to optionally manage its dependencies.

Ensure cmake and vcpkg are installed on your system before building and installing Application.

A C++20 compiler is also required to build Application.

Dependencies

The following are a list of dependencies used by Application.

The recommendation is to (and below commands will) use vcpkg to pull these dependencies. However, vcpkg is not a requirement as long as the system provides these dependencies correctly.

All Platforms

• libnick

Linux

• blueprint-compiler (Not available from vcpkg)
• libxmlpp

Configuring vcpkg

1. Set the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable to the path of your vcpkg installation's root directory.

Windows

1. Set the VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET environment variable to x64-windows
2. Run vcpkg install libnick

Linux

1. Set the VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET environment variable to x64-linux
2. Run vcpkg install libnick libxmlpp

Building

1. First, clone/download the repo.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the repo's root directory.
3. Create a new build directory and cd into it.

Windows

1. From the build folder, run cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022".
2. From the build folder, run cmake --build . --config Release.
3. After these commands complete, Application will be successfully built and its binaries can be found in the org.nickvision.application.winui/Release folder of the build folder.

Linux

1. From the build folder, run cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release.
2. From the build folder, run cmake --build ..
3. After these commands complete, Application will be successfully built and its binaries can be found in the org.nickvision.application.gnome folder of the build folder.
