Building

Requirements

• Compiler: MSVC, MinGW, GCC, Clang
• Libraries: Qt 5.x

How to compile

There are several ways to compile the QtCryptoHash library:

• using QtCreator
• using the python script build.py
• manually calling qmake and then the compiler (e.g. make, nmake, mingw32-make, etc...)

Building with build.py

In order to build QtCryptoHash using the build.py script, the compiler and qt paths must be in the PATH environment variable (note for MSVC: before running build.py, you should also run vcvarsall, specifying the correct target architecture, x86 or x64)

usage: build.py [-h] [-c {msvc,mingw}] [-a {x64,x86}] [-d] [-s]

Builds QtCryptoHash

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            shows this help message and exit
  -c {msvc,mingw}, --compiler {msvc,mingw}
                    compiler to be used (Windows only - default: msvc)
  -a {x64,x86}, --arch {x64,x86}
                    target architecture (default: x64)
  -d, --debug           compiles with debug symbols
  -s, --static          compiles as static library

Note: before running this script, be sure that the target architecture of the compiler and of the qt libraries is the same of the -a argument.

Example (DLL release, MSVC 2015 x64)

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC;C:\path\to\qt\msvc\x64
vcvarsall x64
build.py

Static Library

To build QtCryptoHash as a static library, you must first run qmake "CONFIG += static" on the project file QtCryptoHash.pro or, if you are using build.py, you can use the -s argument.
