Prometheus: a QT-based GUI for fireprog(.exe)

Prometheus is a GUI program which facilitates using a Xilinx Spartan 3 configuration tool "fireprog(.exe)" by setting proper program arguments.

Compilation on Linux

To compile for Linux, run:

 make Prometheus_Linux

Cross-compilation on Linux for Windows

To cross-compile for Windows on Linux using MXE (a cross-compilation environment based on MinGW), run:

 make Prometheus_MinGW32.exe
 make Prometheus_MinGW64.exe

Assumption is that MXE is located in "/opt/mxe/" folder. Compiled executables will be stored in directory "release".

Cross-compilation on Linux for MacOS

Install cross-compiler toolchain and the Qt library:

 yaourt -S apple-darwin-osxcross apple-darwin-qt5-base

Move fireprog progam to Resources directory, so that it can be included into the application as well.

Compile the project:

 make Prometheus_MacOS

Compiled executables will be stored in directory "Prometheus_MacOS.app".
